Fags had a hand in my fathers early exit...........blocked arteries...
I share your thoughts on the look what i've done.........
He'd have been well chuffed with the Lexus.......
He was a bit of a car fanatic..........He bought a new Hilman Avenger GT in 1971 spent all the savings........posted to Germany and went rallying in it.........car cost £700 odd and his wages were £8/10 a week
i was reading this thread and thought how sad, but then given the title, you couldn't expect much else. odly, i could've been your dad - i bought a new hilman avenger 'tophat' 1.6L auto in 1973, cost me £1,070 but can't remember what i was earning. i never smoked, but did get blocked arteries so had to have a double bypass 6 months ago. i wasn't overweight, took lots of excercise, and had low blood pressure, so don't think that if he'd not smoked he'd have been OK. i'm convinced they haven't got a bloody clue what causes heart attacks, but they have to hang it on something.
