M'coli Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks for the reminder! I drove Mrs Krujoe's Seicento Sporting last year, it was fine! Panda?RTFOP - been there, done that. As for an Alfa 147, isn't it a bit on the big side? dougiefourspeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Daihatsu Charade, the 3-pot models from the 80sOh, fuck, YES! I drove my uncle's German registered one on private land (seriously) in 1988! I'd forgotten about it! Edit: it turned up in the scrappy in South Street in Glasgow, I still have the front foglight it was sporting! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 so why the minger in the green dress...? Because it's rear engined and wears a super mini. spartacus and TataBobu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Because it's rear engined and wears a super mini.I can see the supermini bit, but I disagree with the rear-engined bit: I'd expect the rear arches to be more flared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Oooh, I looked at buying an S-reg Renault 5 21 years ago, but it had no MOT, and the Frenchman selling it was asking for £350!!! I saw it in a scrappy (Carberry's at Dalreoch) a month later, I hope he got a good deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon-Fonte Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Autobianchi A112, undoubtedly the first supermini. There's bound to be one floating about somewhere. Renault Supercinq, for the distinctive engine clatter if nothing else. And how has the mighty Chevwoo Matiz escaped mention thus far?

Cleon-Fonte Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 And if you're looking for shite superminis, you could do no better than a rehashed Fiat with secondhand styling and no column stalks, built by Spaniards who had to pay Porsche royalties in order to crow about their involvement in the car's development.
