Ah the memories. My first car was a secondhand (or more likely 10th hand) mk 1 cortina coincidentally painted in the Lotus colours (an omen of things to come maybe). Unfortunately, it wasn't a real Lotus Cortina and it had a horrible leaking fuel smell (basically because of little rust holes in the top of the petrol tank). How I never blew myself up in those days of 10 packs of No6, Sovereign and Embassys I'll never know. Ah the halcyon days when it was safe to smoke even with petrol fumes surrounding you in an enclosed box;-).
