scruff Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 When I was 17 or 18 I had a knackered series 3 Land rover and no real idea of what I was doing with it so for the first MoT I threw it at the local independant specialist. He gave me the choice of two courtesy cars, a Kia Pride or a 3.5 V8 Range Rover. I took the RR (obviously) and spent nearly £200 on petrol over the course of four days, we took it everywhere. privatewire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's my old one. It's not a 1.8 any more last I knew. I sold it to chompy snake who bought a silver spares car and shoved in the 2.0 engine but kept manual box. There will be pics on here when I had it. Exclusive trim level 1.8 when I bought it, ropey as hell. As soon as I saw the 'colour scheme' I thought it was that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Apparently it can shift a bit when given some throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yeah, it isn't slow. When I find a way of stitching together some videos I've taken on my mobile I'll upload a hubnut-style 'review'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It wasn't too bad with the 1.8 in it but the 2.0 is a good few bhp more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise2cv Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 When I was 6 mom and dad bought a brand new AX. A proper one with the Ch offset on the bonnet. It arrived. Then it disappeared. Apparently they had ordered 5speed and got a 4speed? Something like that anyway. The first I knew of this was coming home from school to find a beautiful gold v-reg GS on the drive. I was fascinated by it. Sat in it once. Mom hated it. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I was rear ended in a Passant estate about 18 years ago, and lent a K10 Micra 1.3 auto. Loved it, I've always enjoyed nippy small cars and it suited me well. Did seem to be smoking slightly when I handed it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
