saucedoctor Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 LOL! Only on Autoshite could three people correctly identify an really obscure old Jap car from an askance-angled phone pic of a TV.

johngarty Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I had a 180B. Mechanically bulletproof but more filler than metal in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I used to love tales of the unexpected. Remember one about a bee keeper who fed his daughyer royal jelly and, if I remember correctly, she turned into a bee.

mercrocker Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 My grand-dad taught me to drive in one of these. I was pissed off because he had just sold his P6 before my 17th. It wasn't a bad old barge, really. Just not a P6..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59Impala Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I had two of those 180B estates both with plenty of Isopon's finest P38 added to the disappearing bodywork. One was a kind of bright blue, P-reg bought for £50 with MOT and tax. Did have some issues such as dents, wings made of filler, non-functioning brake lights and indicators that wouldn't flash so had to resort to moving the indicator stalk rapidly so they appeared to flash. It served me well for a while but it had to go so advertised it for £85. One guy asked if it suitable for use as a mini-cab, told him it would be great in Beirut (when they were having a bit of a barney there) but not so good in London. Sold it to a bloke for £70 who had just become a dad and he was delighted with it. I did tell him about the brake lights and indicators though as I'm a nice guy even when I'm selling a pile of crap. No really I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
