"Well we fitted the Carmen Rollers into the dash like you asked but where do you want this?"

I've said I'm sorry for taking your wife to the Berni Tavern for a meal for 2, put the dash back and we'll say no more

Genuine lol at the alternative caption suggestions - some superb ones.
Have a go with this early Jaguar XJ6 ad too:

I find a good rummage in this area twice a week improves my wife's mood immeasurably

On an aside that is taken in the old Wolseley showroom on Piccadilly, now the Wolseley restaurant, the building's heritage lost on most diners.

A fine restaurant well worth a visit (I recommend steak tartare then schnitzel Holstein plus a side of side of fries)

Quite a few tempting V12s for sale currently, but I must admit all that pipework under the bonnet phases me.

I always did like the 3/4 roof on the Avenger. More on point, it's hilarious that it got Car of the Year over the Escort RS1600 and it would help if they got their car models right. the Cortina was a GXL, not a GLX.
