    Just had a couple of Austrians in a Morris Ital turn up looking for some parts, they are doing a similar banger rally from Austria round the UK and back. Hadn't used a microfiche reader for a loooong time, the youngsters didn't even know what it was.

    You too eh? I think we sorted most of it, I only had to get involved to use the microfiche. I worked out it took TR7 wheel bearings then ran away to hide in my corner. I try to avoid contact with customers.

    Didn't get close enough to see the reg. Yes sort of orangey colour with a brown vinyl roof. I think there was a flat cap and although I didn't check Austrian plus old car virtually guarantees leather trousers.

    If you actually do want one let me know. Some were being thrown out a while ago they might still be around somewhere I could have a look.
