VWPowered Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 ruddy hell some great purchases you lot are getting
Mash Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 That's really lovely. I've always wanted an Avenger - proper Hillman one mind but yours is a beaut nevertheless.I would have left the wheels silver though.....
mnde Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 You utter bastard. I hate you. That is one sweet car *green with envy* Top purchasing!Feel the Avenger love.Mark.
Futuramic Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 That interior is really rather wonderful. It's as though a leather clad sadist has designed a bespoke dungeon with the sole purpose of punishing the enthusiastic driver. Witness the gearknob to small to fit easily into the hand o aid fast changes. The steering wheel that would not be out of place on a trans-atlantic sailing yacht and shield shaped pedals! Heeling and toeing is impossible and the wheel is so big that a dap of oppo comes only after an hour's frantic twirling. I love it. If it comes up for sale I will buy it. There are some cars that define shite, and are only really driven be a true shiter. Panda you have joined the upper echelons of eccentric car ownership and I salute you, sir.
pandamonium Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 I love it. If it comes up for sale I will buy it.I'll hold you to that!It truly is shite. After the relative luxury of the Mazda, it is like driving a tank - but I love it! I've now replaced the engine and gearbox mounts, so it no longer feels like it is going to shake itself to pieces![/url] An engine pic just for the hell of it
