I know you hate the little contraptions and I can almost understand why, but I would have one in a heartbeat if I had space to keep it.

If a had need to transport sheep and eggs across a ploughed field then maybe I would...... 🤣 🤣
(NOT)....

The MG Maestro...

Kev5 said:

Thank you for bringing HubNut back, Chris 😊

I used to like the Maestro back in the day. My mate had a lovely 2.0 EFI in white with red seat belts and it went (and handled) really well

No Probs Kev....Hubnut hasn't done much road testing recently as he's been more busy 'tinkering' and sadly he's a bit painful to watch! 🤢
So I won't subject anybody to that! 🤣
I too quite liked the MG Maestro back in the day....I had a work colleague that had a Montego, and he always brought it to me to service rather than the garage, and it wasn't the worst thing I ever drove....

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!.....My eyes!.....I'll never un-see that now Steve!!!!!!!!! 🤣 🤣

One for 'The old Ford' boys....

Kev5 said:

Thank you for the Capri clip, Chris 😃

The car I "always promised" myself, but never had! 😆

That one sounds nice! 👍

Yes Kev... that's how they marketed them, I was never huge fan as I preferred the sharper handling Escort, but that one looks tidy and sounds well!...

HubNut does Jaaaaaggggg!...Yes!
One travelled at an indicated 150 in one of these!....🤫

^^^^^ I can assure you it WAS Kev...…😁...Hence my long standing love of most things Jaaaaaaggg!

Hub Nut does a truck!....😁

^^^^^ You may well be right there Kev! ....I purposely didn't post that as it's so bad!
I'm really lost for words...I mean his hideous Invacar aside, then yes I'll cede to your liking for the 2 CV!....

HUBNUT DOES Route master bus!!

Kev5 said:

A wonderful clip, thank you, Chris!
As nice as the Cummins L10 sounds, it's not a patch on the original AEC 9.7 ltr lump, which had an iconic sound all of it's own.
I'd love to drive one now! 😍

If they were still like this today Kev, I'd want to be a bus driver!...

Hubnut...drives Herbie!...A vehicle I hated driving and took more pleasure in dismantling!... 😁
P.S The video hasn't changed my opinion!...

A not very 'HubNut' car....🤔

A 'Lenham bodied' MG Midget....😍

MJL said:

Thank you, Chris. It is a wonderful car.
Hubnut's history of the Austin Healey Sprite/Midget is crap but he's not a serious car guy... is he?

He was editor of 'Classic Jaguar' magazine for a little while Martin.....🤔

Something a bit different in the Netherlands for Hub Nut!

Kev5 said:

Many thanks for keeping ol' HubNut alive and kicking, Chris - I do enjoy his road tests 👍 🙂

Quite right Kev....His road tests are spot-on...his 'tinkering' less so 🤔
Loved the Fiat test even if it looks like a 'posh Lada'....But the soundtrack!! mmmm.

As a 'Yank Tank' fan here's a Cadillac I'd never heard of!....But love the noise! 🎼
