My wife had one of those when we lived in Manchester. I used it all winter on my 100 mile a day journey to work when my stuff was safely tucked up in bed. It was a great little car and I thrashed it to within an inch of its life for years. One evening i chased a TVR Chimera over the A635 Woodhead pass and despite his best efforts he could not shake the little Nissan. He pulled away out of the corners but I always caught him on the next one. At the traffic lights at Hyde he got out and asked what was under the bonnet. He was really gutted when I showed him the stock engine and bald remold tyres ;D ;D ;D ;D

Some bits of that are priceless...
" the original plastic material covered door cards have been replaced with lighter duplicates in hardboard since I want to retain at least some side impact protection"
"Ambling around Lidol (or was it Aldi?) one day looking for fish shaped calculators (for doing sums), I happened on a clever little device obviously intended for suspension setup. A tyre pyrometer. Unfortunately my pyrometer, on the ‘Beef’ setting, pronounced the tyres ‘Rare’ at 25 degC. "
Great project, and he writes well...

Everybody on here knows I'm into Micras. When I bought my first jelly-mould one - just a month or so after they first came out, I parked it next to a Swedish reg Mk1 version in a supermarket car park. Inevitably, I started chatting to the owners (and their two fellow passengers) who turned out to be fellow members of the Micra appreciation society. They had just driven theirs overland from Sweden having recently put 300k kilos onto the thing. Unglamorous but great little bits of kit (one of which saved my life.)
Love the guy's style. Laughed like a drain. ;D

Did you have a new green TVR about 12 years ago by any chance?
