vulgalour Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Only issue I had with those little 107s was how dead they are. They make a fun noise, and they're delightfully basic inside, the seats are even adequate, but there's zero feedback through any of the controls. You sort of turn the wheel and hope you've turned it enough and wait for something to happen. Same with the throttle, press it and wait to see what happens, press it a lot and it makes lots of noise and not much else if it's the three cylinder. As a first car they're superb, and surprisingly resilient since there's so much bendy plastic front and rear. I couldn't put up with owning one but I'd happily bomb around in one if I was looking for a short term hire car or absolutely had to drive through a big city.

iainrcz Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I have just witnessed a 30 something bloke on my shift, outside with a paper bag over his head so his hair didn't get wet. Now we're definitely worried, that AND the 1 series convertible. Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk alf892, Cavcraft and stonedagain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no, he's just weird.He spends all night rubbing barrier cream on his hands.Hence his nickname, Creamy.Thing is, he's like a wheelbarrow.Only works when pushed, so I'm unsure why he needs barrier cream on his hands.He hardly used them.Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
