I look at that and think about the British jobs it creates....and then I think about how they managed to create something so breathtakingly naff!

Timewaster Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It is wrong to stereotype people. If anyone buys an Evoke convertible who isn't orange with patterned nail extensions, inappropriate heels, a bag that cost more than my car and an iPhone in a sparkly case then I will be absolutely amazed.

Bianconeri Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 There's an orange one round here, with matching driver. Give it 15 years, we'll be queuing for them!You have to be orange* to pass the entry test to get into a Land Rover dealer these days. *other tests of bad taste and general chavdom are available.

carlo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I never knew there was a Renault Clio estate (or Sport Tourer) until I saw one the other day. I don't really see the point of that TBH. Actually I can quite see the point of those small estates favoured by Renault/Peugeot at the time, seem very sensible to me. Except for the fact that Tourer is a Renault built after 2000 so probably best not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy18s Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Had a Clio estate thing as a hire car here in BGPetrol version with what felt like a 750cc twin engineAbsolutely no power at all,you had the rev the feck out of it to make any sort of progressFront bumper took a right pounding on the quality roads out here,I honestly though we were going to lose it on a couple of occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormee Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Slightly bemused looking FordsBlue one reminds of Marvin,the paranoid android for some reasonTop one is a P3 Taunus 15m or 17m, called Badewanne (bath tub) for a reason, the other one is the successor, Taunus P5. They weren't allowed to wear FORD badges due to prohibitance of FORD USA but werde built in Cologne by FORD of course. Firs 'legal' FORD after WW2 were the Taunus TC and Granada/Consul.

wuvvum Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Related to that Toyota Tamaraw up there I saw a magnificently named Toyota Stallion pick up (bakkie) yesterday. South African built version apparently.Fun fact: this was actually supposed to be called the Toyota Starion, but due to a misunderstanding during a phone call between Toyota's head office in Tokyo and their South African counterparts... oh, wait.
