Took a friend a trip into Galashiels for shopping.
Her modern car has broken again, major electronic failure which might mean the car needs to be taken to Edinburgh. £££££s. Austins don't have these problems.
My friend lives in a village with no transport and has a 92 year old mother to look after who has had her jag.
Three large bags of shopping and a stop to feed the birds.
Everyone seems very pleased to see the Austin. Lots of headlight flashing, waves and smiling pedestrians. While parked several conversations. A family stopped so that mother & small daughter could be photographed with the car.
Very enjoyable, cheers everyone up.
