I wonder how much armour plating adds to the option list?

I remember a kid I went to school with had one of these as his first car and became rather obsessed with them, he must of had 8 give or take all parked outside his mums house in various states of repair, would love to have known what happened to them all and to him.

In the 80s, A friend of mine had two old 504 estates ( 7 seaters) plus a garden full of 5 or 6 others in various states of dismantling for spares.

Saw this on Faceache earlier. I remember seeing it somewhere quite a few years ago. GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS is going to be my favourite new thing to shout at the Mrs when we're out somewhere in public.

I’m one for owning a press car - there just seems to be an extra bit of pride and ‘pub bragging rights’ in having a car that Clarkson has revved the bollocks off or been launched around Silverstone at 104.8 mph. It’s also nice to see it when it was new and what was fitted on the car before an acquisition.

I was able to identify the Kia Cerato that overtook me in the middle of Mansfield about 3 or so years ago as the towcar in the episode of Top Gear where they went caravanning.

Shockingly, my passenger was not impressed by said fact.

Looks like they lied in the brochure , it isn't a go anywhere camper

This morning on the way to work I followed some Hyundai SUV thing being driven poorly.

30mph limit through Baslow, they went 45mph. 

60mph limit up the hills, they went 35-40mph (no streetlights)

50mph limit over the tops they went 35-40mph. (again, no street lighting)

40mph limit into Chesterfield, they sped up to 45 because there were streetlights.

30mph limit down Chatsworth road through the two speed cameras? again, 45mph. The first one must not have been loaded but the 2nd one definitely flashed them and it made my morning because I'm a sad bastard

I came the closest I've ever come to murder on the road out of chesterfield towards chatsworth about 20 years ago, I got in the wrong lane coming out of chesterfield, there was plenty of room to let me in but audi cock decided to speed up and close the gap to much less but I still got in, I was in a van

Then once on the open road he overtook me , brake checked me and started driving at 30mph , whenever I tried overtaking he'd speed up , I'd stopped a couple of times and offered him outside but he just sat 100 yards away and drove away as I walked towards him which was probably a good thing because I was raging

This went on right to the roundabout near chatsworth where I was going right and he went left

I went right but slowly round the roundabout then left , just saw the back of his car entering a close so I followed him and sat at the entrance to the close, his kids were at the door so I just sat there until he clocked me then drove off with a 'I know where you live now cunt' look

Never did anything but I hope he was curtain twitching for a few days

Drive like a twat , crash like a twat , do you think he's wondering how to get those undeclared wheels off before the claim

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the rear wheels when he stops. Those don't do the Mitsubishi rear wheel steering thing as far as I'm aware...?

I think the axle beam is still connected by the spring and shock, but the trailing arm has snapped off.
