So what is Beef Jerky like. Last bag i was given it stank so a bit never passed my lips and the dog got it as tit bits. I will presume fresh and hot will be different than a bag of shite out Tesco
Good stuff is lovely. The idea is you slowly soften it in your mouth rather than be able to instantly chew it. The stuff I pictured is barely jerky really. Its more like heavily spiced and sauced slow cooked meat, which almost crumbles into your gob. Tis effin gorgeous!
That's only a 1.3! - with some extra lights, stickers and dirt. Embarrassed to say, we had a 1.8TC coupe like that, harvest gold. MGB engine but no overdrive, went quite well but only in straight lines. Torsion bar front suspension meant if you pushed it in a bend it just leant outwards and understeered into the hedge. Always.
Sold it (DFS78L) with difficulty and bought the BGT which we had for 30 years.

Marinas are shit, probably one of the shittest cars I've driven, the 1.3 is especially shit.

The 1.8 was also shit. The extra power (not that much extra) was waaay more than the back end could handle, wet roundabouts were 'interesting', and sharp acceleration in the dry provoked axle tramp.
My only memory of a Marina 1.8 TC was that it was the first car that I did an (indicated) ton in. It was a hire car and it was red, but that's all I can remember apart from I didn't like it much.
