Oct 1987...

I leaned into that wind and it held me up!

BBC meteorologist Michael Fish drew particular criticism for reporting several hours before the storm hit, seemingly flippantly:
Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way; well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't, but having said that, actually, the weather will become very windy, but most of the strong winds, incidentally, will be down over Spain and across into France.



Here's a squished Montego E583 VGF at Langton Green in Kent. Looks bad...

It went on to lead a long and happy life: last tax disc expired in 2003!

I guess at barely 3 months old, somebody thought it was worth reshelling.
Wonder if they fitted new springs and shocks, too?

And also, did any later owners know its history? (I don't think HPI checks were as readily available then as they are now!)

Can't imagine how that survived a tree like that.

Hopefully there won't be any more like that by tomorrow morning!!

Lets see what comes of this storm, it is absolutely pelting down with rain here.

Surface flooding on many roads.

I wonder if it was the first Montego ever to be diagnosed with a sagged headlining?
