I somehow doubt that! My Dad once had a 1977 E12 518 automatic. It had 90 bhp, felt like it weighed as much as a Tiger tank and could hardly drag itself down the road. If you clogged it from a standstill in 'D' it would do nothing for about a second before lumbering off at walking pace, which made roundabouts rather worrying.

Sounds suspiciously like the 1995 316i auto my mate bought while in Guernsey. I was volunteered for the test drive, and it was even slower than my dad's 1990 Cavalier 1.8 auto. Both cars made my Mk1 Fezza 1.1 - the slowest car I have owned thus far - feel like an F40. The Beemer also had the worrying habit of revving like crazy for a couple of seconds when kicked down - before continuing at a slightly less slothful pace.Ultimate Driving Machine my arse - paint it white and fill it with semi-skimmed, more like Ultimate Driving Milkfloat, performance-wise.

Haha, slow BMW's are just the wrong-ness. I had a 316 E30 for a bit, with a shitty pierburg carb on it. Christ was it a sack of turd. Absolutely no 'go' in it whatsoever. You'd get outdragged by fully laden lorries joining the motorway.

an H!

I assume you just put the wrong caption - that's an Acadiane

A Renault 15/17?

The ones with the vents instead of rear windows are 17s. They were intended to be slightly more sporty & upmarket than the 15.

a Pug van, GS, CX with Minis and Metros hidden

Peugeot J7 van

Taunus and Samba or is it a Pug/LNA

Well I'm 100% sure it ain't no Samba, it looks earlier (this is sad, but the Samba rear lights although the same design, were smooth, whereas I can see those ones are ribbed!

) . It's either an early LNA or a 104 3 door. The LN had smaller rear lights so it can't be one of them. Therefore on that fact alone I'm going to say that it's most likely a 104 3 door rather than an LNA. The white strip across the boot above the lights is making me lean towards LNA but I'll stick with the 104 cos I could be here all day!

We'd have to see the front to know for certain!

i 'm thinking 104 3dr, It could have a LNA tailgate on it, or it could be an LNA with 104 rear lights.....Oh Gawd, I think i've created a vortex

or it could be an LNA with 104 rear lights.....

They had the same rear lights anyway. LN with LNA/104 rear lights is possible, but why would they bother.

Loved the full length rear reflector panel on those, setting it apart from the 80!

what is that behind the R8?

'Nuvver caravelle/floride effort isn't it?

Looks like some kind of car with an R8 front panel resting on it.....?

nope it is an R8 on stilts!

the roof of a Panhard

Is that an R15 in front of the Panhard?

'Thing' between R8 and Floride/Caravelle looks like an R8S (quad headlights - probably not a G left like that!) with some white R8 doors leaning up against the front and a Floride/Caravelle removable top placed over the bonnet/windscreen/roof.

Oh yes - you've got a very keen eye!I can place it all now. I was wondering why it had a curved roof!
