The ItalDesign Columbus.

I remember that from a book of concept cars I had when I was younger.  I still really, really want it - modernise the interior a bit and it'd make an awesome luxury limousine.

Used to be one of those parked up by the side of the road in Hove. Never saw it move in the two years I lived nearby; and the aftermarket BMW badge confused me at the time until I found out what it was.

I've some pics somewhere...

Found 'em.

This is apparently still on SORN, having last been MOTd in 2008.

Reminded me of one of these, a bit.

Hyundai-Ford Cortina Pick Up:

They did a MK3 version as well:

Thought the MK3 might be the same as the SA Bakkie but that's a separate chassis/cab

Swap the grille and that could easily be a BMW. Zzzzzzz.

The 'specs' include "drive wheel - ?" I'd have thought it was fairly obvious.

Jeremy Kyle yesterday , topic was speeding , informed us that there was this car, a Mitsubishi Impreza that all the “youngsters” speed around in.

Funny, it’s Ford Corsas round my way.

Think he's been banned - do you mean Jeremy Vine?

Likely enough but he's as big a polemicist as the other Jeremy - cannot stand the man - he's probably nice enough in real life tho'?

Mind you - a Shitumishsi Impreza could be different, low ratio box and increased ground clearance?

I meant Kyle not Clarkson, but now you mention him....

Clarkson's TopGear persona is utterly hated by my wife.
I kept rocking in saying 'Ooh just listened to Jeremy Clarkson talking about xyz on Radio 4 - he's really nice'. She'd launch into expletives. Now she's watched two seasons of Clarkson's Farm she is liking the guy's other persona.
So maybe J. Vine is nice enough too in real life but his radio show winds me up.
