Best Courtesy Shite You've Driven

[scruff]

When I was 17 or 18 I had a knackered series 3 Land rover and no real idea of what I was doing with it so for the first MoT I threw it at the local independant specialist. He gave me the choice of two courtesy cars, a Kia Pride or a 3.5 V8 Range Rover. I took the RR (obviously) and spent nearly £200 on petrol over the course of four days, we took it everywhere.

It's my old one. It's not a 1.8 any more last I knew. I sold it to chompy snake who bought a silver spares car and shoved in the 2.0 engine but kept manual box. There will be pics on here when I had it. Exclusive trim level 1.8 when I bought it, ropey as hell.

 

As soon as I saw the 'colour scheme' I thought it was that one.

Apparently it can shift a bit when given some throttle.

Yeah, it isn't slow.  When I find a way of stitching together some videos I've taken on my mobile I'll upload a hubnut-style 'review'.

It wasn't too bad with the 1.8 in it but the 2.0 is a good few bhp more.

When I was 6 mom and dad bought a brand new AX. A proper one with the Ch offset on the bonnet.

 

It arrived. Then it disappeared. Apparently they had ordered 5speed and got a 4speed? Something like that anyway.

 

The first I knew of this was coming home from school to find a beautiful gold v-reg GS on the drive.

 

I was fascinated by it. Sat in it once. Mom hated it.

 

The end.

I was rear ended in a Passant estate about 18 years ago, and lent a K10 Micra 1.3 auto. Loved it, I've always enjoyed nippy small cars and it suited me well. Did seem to be smoking slightly when I handed it back...
