Chas I bet you wish you still had your Fizzy. I bought mine from the bike shop in the middle of Baldock and fetched it home on the firm’s Mini pick-up and loved the thing. (not the pick-up that was ghastly). I had a Standard 10 that failed its MOT and the bike was FASTER. I also at the time had a Mk V Jag 1949 that I was restoring and sold to a teacher from Coulsdon. Can’t see the screen for tears now. Jim
I cannot believe that I parked it up in a shed for 4yrs then sold it for no particular reason.
Sooo much of my future life was mapped out on that Fizzy. I have precious few photo’s of the actual bike, but to have it back would mean more to me than all the photo albums in the world.

With websites like MID you can check to see if, ahem, “your” car is still on the road.
(But only if you have reason to know that information Oshifer )
Disappointingly, most of mine aren’t. I kind of still hoped that my first car, a mark 2 Fiesta, would somehow still be going.
Don’t do it, checking on MID whether your first 50cc motorcycle, or the Fiat 131 who’s backseat you lost your proper virginity on, is still on the road is torture.
The Fiat 131 is probably someone’s fridge now but my Yamaha FSIE is still out there . . . somewhere.
Losing virginity in a 131 had to be a stormy romance with a kind of wildness…
I’ve just bought a Eunos Roadster (Mazda Mx-5 to you). I know it means I have a small willy, am having a mid life crisis and a burgeoning career as a hairdresser, but to be honest I really couldn’t care less about any of that because the thing is sooooo much fun to drive. Especially on my 4am commute home along a twisty A road when there’s no one else around.
I’ve never had so much fun on four wheels, and all for five hundred quid!
