I haven't had my Traction for over 20 years and I still miss it.

You've owned a Traction? As in A Traction? 7,11 or 15cv? What year?

'51 11CV, or more strictly, Light 15, it being a UK one. It was my first car, I had it for about 2 years till the practicalities of DDing a 35 year old French beater on a student budget overcame my sense of romance. Brilliant car; quirky, comfy, good handling, adequately powered, and looking out over those wings and headlights never got old.

You could fix that, they're still not that expensive...

Well, I lost my job earlier this year, and had to sell almost all my cars, so the first thing on my mind now is to get my '69 Simca 1501 repaired.

The Simca was the survivor of your fleet?

Yup, because it's rather rare here in Norway.

When I was unemployed a few years ago I wound up being reduced to an Escort. And not a proper Escort, the FWD one. So my turn to envy you!

Ahh. well.. My DD is a '96 Ford Fiesta Classic (60hp) with straight pipes (the exhaust kinda fell off due to rust).
