Hahaha Peter! .... I lived in South Africa in the early ‘80’s and if you asked someone to do something, they’d often say “OK, I’ll do it just now”. ...
That’s only ever happened to me once ... fortunately just as I was reversing into my driveway. Needless to say, my car went back out of the driveway...
Interesting that that was a problem with Mk1’s .... When Mike Abel bought mine (a Mk2) brand new in 1983 she was bright red, but by the time I bought...
Bought my Nova in 1987, rebuilt it and took it to Stoneleigh and Newark, then for various reasons took it off the road in 1991. Currently undergoing a full 'body off' restoration to get her back on the road before I'm too old! .... ;)
