  1. Yo, these weren't dealer specials but Winter Olympics 1992 specials produced by Solido (it says Albertville 1992 on the door). I was in (nearby) Tignes while the Winter Olympics took place in Albertville - and they were in every bloody shop. Renault was the official manufacturer, supplying Espaces, Clios and Express vans in white Albertville '92 livery. These were a low effort merchandising shit-out for Solido, and probably did OK. I got the Clio and an unrelated piste-basher model (which I can't find). Here's mine 32 years later. These are the boxes they would have come in; these now sit on my shelf in Peebo. I think I paid £15 for the lot.
  2. If I were to hazard a guess it may have been converted by Bunce for a New Zealand or Australian buyer - cars there have to be RHD regardless of their market origin to get plates.
  3. Some random offered a straight swap on my Amazon. He has a fucked L322 Range Rover worth about £1500 on a good day. Yeah, how about no and get the fuck out of my garage, blud? I fucking hate L322s anyway; they're too fucking big and drive like wobbling fat cunts.
  4. i think you and I are pondering very different types of keyless entry/ignition m9
  5. it was just called 'stealing' then
  6. I would opine 'such a shame' but therapy has suggested I @sierraman your conclusion.
  7. The BACK bumper's been off, you say? Makes a change.
  8. Trafford clowncil owe me a wheel, tyre and possibly a bottom arm after this fucking monster blew a tyre out on my Seat: A 50mph/NSL road, by the way.
  9. I'll explain. SVXs like to shit their autoboxes. I was watching an old release promo film about the SVX in Japanese and stuck the auto-translate sub titles on. That particular shot is of the car doing a full bore take off into the distance; for some reason the subs translated it as 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' which sums up SVX ownership very well.
  10. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  11. I've been on motorways in an 803cc Standard 8. And I thought my Amazon was slow.
  12. If anyone was gonna own a slower car than a Standard 8, it was you, fam.
