In the modern world they're called Mobility Scooters, Something to with cripples preferring the use of positive language when they are discussed.

And quite right too. I couldn't remember what they're called, and made a desperate stab at it.

Probably subconsciously influenced by the likely effect of being struck by one of the ones allocated to a couple of disrespectful fuckers in my neighbourhood that bomb it along narrow pavements and expect everyone else to jump out onto the road to get out of their way.

a mobility scooter towing a trailer? that'll be a first, and you're right Minx disabled people don't like being called cripples

No pictures unfortunately, but Mrs Boxer and I spotted half a dozen or so Mk 1 Cortinas heading north on the A9 this afternoon. They all had "notices" in the rear passenger windows, indicating they had been/were going to a rally of some kind.

There was a Lotus variant in amongst them too; very nice it was!

You're probably right there; I forgot to say we saw them about 1p.m!

Took this a short time ago at Kilcreggan. Mini Cooper and not sure about the other one - possibly an old McLaren.
