Looks like the passenger door might about 10 years older than the rest of the car! I think the colour is Limeflower, a popular early/mid 1970s choice. 

I would have said it was Applejack, which came in with the Metro (I think).

Nobody, it seems.

Sorry no pic, because driving (still need to set up that dash cam I bought about 4 months ago....)

But drove past a catering van type thing this afternoon, thought nothing of it, until I saw the choice of tow car attached to it. 

A bloody Daewoo Nubira estate! In that rather nice burgundy red colour

When did you last see one? Let alone being used to tow someone a bit more substantial than a tip waste trailer

 

I remember in high school there was a fit PE teacher who had a white Nubira Wagon.

The Nubira Wagon was possibly the most popular Daewoo model sold in Australia. There seems to be plenty around, whereas Matiz, Lanos and other models were quite rare from new.

Looks suspiciously like the one Aging Wheels has. Except his is quite clearly rotten underneath as it started to bend in the middle when he lifted it on the ramp.

Robert did say in a recent video he had sold the Lada to another YouTuber

Is 'bin lorry juice' just a specific thing round here or does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I remember seeing a bin lorry pulling out of a junction and a river of juice poured out the back all over the road.

It smelled twice as bad as you imagine.

Just go a 500 error, it took about 2 minutes to come good again.

Thank Christ it is on the wrong side of the country, or I may have done something completely mad.

The cars built by British Leyland / Austin Rover were no worse than the cars produced by their contemporaries.

Jesus H. Christ!

That automatic Meastro a couple weeks back gave me a semi, but an automatic Montego ESTATE has me in a full blown hard on.

There were some "fix it again tony" comments!

Did they come back with “fix or repair daily” or “found on rubbish dump” ?

I’ll be honest, this Automatic Maestro is giving me much discomfort in the trouser department.

Me whenever someone drives past with a shite private plate:

My response to 95% of the plates in this thread:

In Australian motoring, the column shift manual died in 1984 with the Holden WB commercials and in 1993 with the Ford XF Falcon commercials.

Fair point, it would be a commitment to completing the job!
