    I like the Hillman/Singer Imp in the background, brings back memories of when I had one in the late seventies

    Remember going to Lydden circuit near Dover in the early eighties, and seeing a George Bevan (the guy was nearly blind and tuned on sound) 998cc imp hold a 3.5litr Vauxhall Chevette for 10laps in a saloon car race, sorry didn't men to hijack the thread.
