Mr Laurence

Hello guys I purchased the cityrover, and it only just made the 40 mile drive home which had 1 or 2 steep hills on the way. New clutch has been ordered and will be put on asap. I am really chuffed with it as it will be my first car and will probably end up in a field but until that point it'll make a great alternative to riding my motorcycle 40 miles to work each day with the dropping temperatures

You'd be wrong.

Mine and my dad's, in 1996.  They were easily the best cars we could afford at the time, strong and comfortable.  There was literally nothing to touch them on the used market, not even Ladas, which we'd already owned and enjoyed for the same reasons.  It doesn't all have to be about Nurburgring handling or F-4 Phantom acceleration; it doesn't even have to be about cool or bling (says the man on his third Cadillac).  Sometimes it's about getting you where you want to go without breaking your back, at a price you can afford, and that's what these did.  I'd have another one tonight.
 
However, that "other one" would NOT be an unregistered LHD import with an unknown-quantity LPG fitment, and especially not at 15 times the price I paid for my eight-year-old example in 1994.
 
That said, GLWTS.  You're more likely to find a UK Polonez-licker here than anywhere else on the web, but one thing we have in common with the first owners of such cars is, we don't have that kind of money.

Have we had the Suzuki twin yet? Japan only, and apparently the first kei car available as a hybrid. Not known about these for long at all

I can just imagine all the owners of post-1992 Porsche 912s queueing up to buy that.

Is there ever too much beige?

Looking at the dash thinking were have i seen that design before then it came to me.
 

This looks like a clown's car after someone pressed the horn.

Look like council grit bins.

Random number Roffle. £3.50 a ticket. Seller gets his £99. Winner (looser) also gets £100. But has to use this to successfully (and hilariously) get the car back on its own steam, whilst all the way sending live updates for our pleasure and amusement.

This makes me want to cry.  It used to look like this, complete with original wheel trims (and an engine)

What a great opportunity.

How to tell a real from a fake Mini Tahiti:
1: If it looks like a Mini Tahiti, it is one. Because no-one has ever made a fake Mini Tahiti.

That's a £6 model?! You could've convinced me that it was real...
