In this thread, we will make stories of cars or car owners, snippet by snippet. There are 2 formats: 1. Story of a car. Each poster adds info about each owner, what they did to their cars and when did they own them. Example: Poster A: In 1968, Will McMahon, an older Chicago businessman, bought a '69 model year Buick Electra 225 coupe with lots of equipment, even a car phone. Due to McMahon's job, the car travelled a lot. In 1969, it was traded in for a '70 Electra 225, having 37k miles on the clock. The '69 was bought by... Poster B: ...Trevor Donnell, a bank employee searching for his first luxury car. It was used by him mainly for showing off, and actually didn't have Donnell rack a lot of mileage on it.

That was closer to what Wilson wanted - a good-handling, but practical and inexpensive to run car. It was in his possesion until 1978, by which point Mr. Wilson was working at British Leyland and it was frowned upon for him to be driving a BMW. The new car was a... Poster C: ...1975 Triumph Stag.

The Stag was sold in 1982, and replaced by a... And most importantly, no ASB posts - be 100% serious! --- Post updated --- So, here is the first story, a story of a car: In 1953, Willard Alderley, an employee of a Texan pesticide factory, bought his first new car - a VW Beetle.
