If you love it or hate it, then you’ve been one of the few that hasn’t tried to ignore this machine, yet, the image remains firmly in our minds from our distance past. Maybe our granddad, dad, brother or sister could have been the proud owner of this functional means of transport, even ourselves if we care to admit it.
