Des on the camper thread

 

Then there's the ramp at the back so you can do your own 'The Italian Job' with mobility scooters.

"look at this pile of risible cuttlefish bollox"

Our very own Mr Bollox describing a sort of Aston Martin/Peugeot kit car thing.

Another gem from Junkman's Laws of Motoring

 

If cornering fast is what makes you happy, do not buy a cement mixer.

[Craig the Princess]

Thats 21st century shiting! You can buy a car and have it delivered like a flippin Lamb Jalfrezi with a side of Sag Aloo and a few poppadoms.

Joey Spud's titty traumas after fitting new rear springs to his L200...

Why the Daewoo Espero is too shite even for Autoshite

 

What do you expect?

The recipe for the Espero was to take a Vauxhall, look long and hard for any redeeming feature and carefully remove it.

A bit like removing the glitter after a turd was rolled in it.

 

All Vauxhalls are shit, but Daewoos are even shitter

Discussion about Barry Cade's recent MGF purchase:

The problem is he may have trouble finding a parts car that's worse than the one he's bought

[rml2345]

I don't know what the official line is on mixing oil grades, but it's an L series so it'd probably run quite happily if I tipped a gallon of fugging Lyles Golden Syrup in the sump.

AMC Rebel in the news 24 thread
