On Saturday the 3rd of June 1989 I walked into the Stockport branch of D. C. Cook and collected my brand new Uno 60DS, F 636 JMA. I wanted it then because the following weekend I'd be going to France for a week. I drove it as much as I could to run it in and get the free oil change in before I went.
On Sunday the 11th of June Mrs. Beard and I left for Normandy and over the next week covered a 1,000 miles. Why do I remember the 3rd so well? Because the following Saturday, the 10th was my wedding day, yet in order to remember to buy Mrs. Beard an anniversary card I always automatically remembered that our anniversary was 7 days after the car's "birthday".
The Uno has long been turned into lawnmower grass boxes or whatever it became but Mrs. Beard and I are still going strong.
And if one more person says "How long? You get less than that for murder" I think I'm going to commit one.
