Your Meatbox nostalgia might be further advanced by the recent Corgi model of the Mk8. Looks pretty good but the tail is rather gaudy. Only problem is a rather pricey 28 quid or so.
Further to the leg trembling I remember that I could not find the strength to depress the clutch pedal of my Morris 1000 after an assy session, and that was as a fit young lad, such a long time ago.!!!!!!!
