I remember, as a young child, telling my mother to get one of these. She awkwardly refused.

Still remember thinking 'oh....' When I discovered the actual meaning some time later.

I haven't see any Suzuki Rhinos for years...

While musing at work today I remembered those "ground effect" plastic and rubber adjustable side skirts fitted to the formula 1 lotii etc before they were banned and also that an enterprising company produced a bolt on version for boy racers to bolt to the sills of their escorts and cortinas. I cant find a picture as my google fu is weak today, may be someone has a pic squirrelled away somewhere. Even back in the late 70s they were considered a bit much which is really saying something....

One thing I haven't seen for a while are the enormous plastic or aluminium drip-trays placed beneath new cars in showrooms, do they not all leak oil anymore?

Same colours as mine, but mine was a hatch. J784BNO, got part-ex'd for a MG Midget.

Given that's a Nottingham reg, and your username, I hope it came from Hooleys Ford.

Oh, and the reason I came to this thread. Saw a pre-smiley mk3 (?) Transit Van with a Badboy Bonnet and tinted indicators yesterday

'THE BITCH MOBILE'

 

Small 4x4s with longitudinal engines are a relic from the past, they're all based on FWD hatchback mechanicals now.

I used to do Nottingham ones by memory, I think my memory is giving up and combining TO and NN, both common sights in my youth.
