But Still Game is actually funny!

I like how Scotland still has it's own distinct tv programs. I live right next door to Wales and apart from the odd show like Pobol Y Cwm and various Welsh language magazine shows, they seem to watch the same shit as people in England. 

You've got me bang to rights on Last of the Summer Wine though, which was looking a bit tired in the 80s when me and my brother watched it as kids. I think my preoccupation during my formative years was people falling in water or the possibility of someone falling in water which I still find weirdly hilarious. See also Ninja Warrior, Wipeout, Its a Knockout and We are the Champions.

You missed out falling off a bicycle(out of shot in deference to ancient hips), sliding out of control in some contraption involving a bath and Howard being caught with Marina.[cue Ronnie Hazlehurst chords].

I had absolutely no idea that they did the MG ZS105 only for R.O.Ireland and Portugal, with the 103hp 1.4 16V Kettle series

[bunglebus]

The world ran out of car names in 1992. Manufacturers have had to make them up ever since

[Richard_FM]

I remember Renault making a lot of using a computer to come up with the name Safrane.

Oroch

Auroch

Orlok

Morlock

Moloch

I would say Skoda just used old names including girls names which work well but even they've given up now, #Karoq #kamiq #enyaq ffs.

That's actually pretty clever of LEVC. 90% of the development already done and a market (in London) for electric vans. Wonder if they'll do a pickup

When you watch the vid it says that VW made false claims about that car. So a leopard  car company never changes it's spots.😉

There are loads on alibaba that are similar-ish, the usual china bollocks of copying each other; I think the Blavalauto-M7 Standard is the same or very similar car, but that may just be the pictures of course, order one and what you get after 3 months on the slow boat from China is anyone's guess.

Aiways U5.

A Chinese electric powered car. despite the land of origin they are not cheap.

Velly nallow, though!

[martc]

LUAZ-969M nee ZAZ 969, also known a 'Volin'. This had the distinction of being the first FWD Soviet car followed by being the cheapest Soviet  four-wheel drive car. Produced with various names and configurations from 1966 to 1992.

[warch]

What a sweet little truck! Reminds me of the original Unimog and the Halflinger, pint sized off roaders from the days when you had to suffer if you wanted to drive off road.

[martc]

They did take them off road -

Admittedly this is a publicity shot, for a later, more modern version. But it you ticked the right box on the order form (or they delivered the wrong one), you could get this -

My mum always said, if you can't say something nice then say nothing at all.

 

It looks nicer than a normal PT Cruiser.
