Who's the TWO# KotL

What are the the criteria for a TWO# ?

SWMBO has a car but I have the SOB and commute on it all year round.

Am I entitled to one?

I think your unbridled keenness to get one automatically precludes you from
getting one. )

 

If i sit here quietly for the rest of the night pretending not to be keen do
you think they'll notice??

No such critter, is there?

Best ask the Keeper - the right way. Googling a bit to find out who
it is might have been a good idea ...

 

That should be apparent, really. Far be it from me to assume what the
Keeper will say.

 

Well I qualify more than you do.

I dont own a car
never driven one
never had a lesson
dont have a license
dont intend to get one any time soon

 

I don't even know what a 'car' is... honest....

(I'm writing my acceptance speach as we... type)

;-)

 

In common with most young people but you can't have a TWO number
until you can ride without the stabiliser wheels.

Mash fascinated us all by saying...

"Look mummy, poor people"

 

Yeah, write it off it 6 months later and spend the next 12 months paying Dad
the money back you borrowed :-(
Oh to be 17 again.

You're not getting out of it that easily.

<checks ukrm.net>

Right, I'll get the info to you this week and it's you from then on.

 

Dolomite, Toledo, or did you go even more "up-market" with a Spitfire?

 

Unfortuantey just a bog standard 1300.

 

I had a 76 vintage Toledo 1300 which was pretty basic (the down-market
version of the Dolemite). In its defence, it was fairly bomb proof and
solid. Much better than today's cars for learning about what makes engines
tick.

I then followed this with a Spitfire 1500 which had excellent access to the
engine.... unfortunately, I needed it most days!

 

I was deeply into Triumph saloons for several years, seeing them as
"sporting gentlemen's carriages" and did quite a lot of sporty things
with Dolly Sprints ...

It may interest you to know (or not ;-)) that the 1300 shared brakes
with the Sprint - the only difference being the Sprint rear drums were
1/4" wider. Sprints were not famed for their powers of retardation in
relation to their 127bhp. Still, I found that a 1300 went very well
when equipped with a Sprint engine, gearbox and back axle - and
transmission tunnel. There were a few surprised boy racers ...

 

Fully reclining front seats, very comfy back seats.

 

That doesn't sound very gentlemanly to me.

 

Was a big *whoosh* if ever I saw one...

 

Hush, you. You'll ruffle his feathers.

 

I had aspirations.

And anyway, the back seat popped out really easily, allowing
straight-through boot access and therefore loads of space for trolley
jack, toolboxes, set of sticky-tyred wheels and spares etc.
