Interesting jobs #3

by

I knew I was insured. It was a company rule for all employees who used the internal car park to insure the car for anyone with a driving license … including me with my yellow Isetta bubble car.

After letting Fred recover a bit from his drive up here, I suggested that we go. I told him that, out of courtesy to the Barbershop quartet, I wanted to stop and have a look at their church.

The accelerator on the XK150 is very responsive. Not so the brakes, which were NOT power assisted!

But it was a pleasure to drive.

    It's rough after years of driving with power steering and power brakes to get in a car that has neither. I can empathize.

    I think I could forgive the technology limitations for a spin behind the wheel of an XK150😁

    And I remember the yellow Isetta... great fun and an iconic design.
