2006 Toyota Land Cruiser - Randy: Air Bag’s F**ked m9
big_al_granvia replied to St.Jude's topic in AutoShite
If you can live with the shit fuel consumption you can't do better than a Subaru forester xt. Take an impreza chassis with its single turbo flat 4 engine and awd. Put it onto a body that is big enough to fit a fridge freezer in. Handles in all conditions like it's on rails, ground clearance of a 4x4. Yes the std brakes need upgrading but the impreza is one of the most modified and tuned there is. Avoid diesels -

proton managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, arrived in 88 with the saga which was a mitsi parts bin, had a good dealer network by tagging onto lada dealers, sold well to the lada buyers then lost the plot, the persona was worse, tried 2 attempts at btcc with the impian in 03/04 and through welch motorsport usin a shell to build to ngtc regs. dealer network collapsed. are they still in the uk... had they stayed at the budgget end they would have done alright like dacia bbut they tried to compete with the bbig boys with a shite product

Should Austin Rover have become Triumph instead of Rover?
big_al_granvia replied to garethj's topic in AutoShite
above all, its a rover the sd1 looked nice but build was shite, the shag with honda produced shite hondas, they developed nothing, new shells with shit mechanicals, dont mention build quality as bummies drank tea... the cars could have been good, probably should have been but were shit
