Drive the luxurious range rover, tow a land cruiser on the back and when the range rover breaks down, you can just swap vehicles around.

AnthonyG Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Was pleasantly surprised to read a positive story about Metros on the BBC website this morning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-54423328 Although celebrating 40 years since it’s launch did make me wonder where the times gone...

clayts450 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I learned to drive in a Metro, and I owned a 100 many moons ago - can't actually remember the reason I let it go, or what flavour it was. But yes, deffo the feel of an underdog, as referred to in the article, and I liked driving them. I had hoped secretly to have the full house of a 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 when the 820 came onto the fleet, but it never worked out right, and now the 820 has left the building, it's unlikely I'll ever manage this feat.
