CRAJ Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Perhaps he had stopped to clean the wheels again, we had done 40miles or so since he last did them at JOG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Herald is off in darkest East Anglia being fettled, Jane's Rover is mis-behaving and heading to a garage for some expensive credit card therapy. The GT6 is great, and behaving perfectly, but is not very good for commuting to work in the winter.So I thought it was time to try the last Triumph model (it was the Acclaim or a 1989 Metro..). Bit scary as I have never brought a car without trying it first but any car that can survive a RBRR cant be too bad :))MikeJust driven it back from Alans in Redditch to Cambridge and its rather nice, but very Un-Triumph like, everything works, it does not rattle or bang over bumps, the windows arent draughty, its quiet (you can hear the radio) and most strange the fuel gauge hardly moved after 100 miles.... It makes you realise how dated the Dolomite was when the Acclaim replaced it.Sensible sort of car, you can drive it without very little input or involvement but its not as much fun as the Herald or GT6!:)Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned this car before Alan and it served me well. On the face of it it's just cheap, reliable transport but once you have driven it for a few days you will find it has a trace of character lurking beneath the surface.Enjoy!
