How to make the winter evenings fly by!
Included in the most recent Allon White email was a link to a fascinating website http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk which I thought was worth sharing more widely...
The 'How Many Left' website provides detailed figures on how many cars were produced by make and model and when, and how many are still left on the road.
Search for a mass production car of the 1970s or 1980s and it is amazing how few remain on the road.

Re: How to make the winter evenings fly by!
Simon, the idea of a forum is that we all share your pearls of wisdom and wit….
Re: How to make the winter evenings fly by!
Congratulations to Simon on a score of 24-4/5ths out of 25, a superb effort, clearly more than just a Morgan Racer!
Bob.
My next quiz will concern Racing Drivers named Smith.
