The car
After a very short conversation, a colleague of mine decided that he too couldn't miss the opportunity of a lifetime and he became the second member of my 'Turner's To Be Confirmed' team. Paul then began to search for some vehicles with kudos which in Windy 500 terms means an old clapped out 'heap'. After some searching we decided upon the perfect vehicle; a 1980 1.3 Triumph Dolomite. From the pictures on ebay it looks like an absolute beaut and it is with great antisipation that we head up to Enfield tomorrow to pick up our chariot. If it makes the trip back from London then I am sure that it'll just chew up the 5500 miles of road along the 'Windy' route.

Yep. There is a bit of kudos in a 31 year old Dolomite. Good effort. I would have hated to see you in something sensible.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia, the Dolomite 1300 version includes the following items :
ReplyDeleteStandard equipment included a reclining front seats, cigar lighter, fasten seat belt warning light, driver's door mirror, twin reversing lights and a dipping rear view mirror.
Get you. A 'fasten seatbelt warning light and driver's door mirror. Such snobbery.
