Dutton Melos is an anagram of 'On me tod, slut' .  Might come in handy if you bump into your ex-missus one day and she asks if you've moved on yet.

Virtual pat on the back to whichever V-dub botty fondler is thick enough to pay even half the asking price for this dreadful creation.

WTF. I had one of those in a fetching grey that I bought for £700 in a posh part of London around 8 years ago. It was immaculate albeit slow, thirsty and wallowy in the corners. Yet it had this alluring charm to it. Sold it to a work colleague for a little bit more than I paid after retrofitting front fogs. Pretty easy as the wiring loom is already there.

Have you ever wondered what the spawn from a Westfield and a Reliant would look like??

I'd be interested to see how this handles, my understanding is that if the majority of a vehicles mass is within the triangle created by the tyres contact patches then there's a good chance it won't fall over. There can't be much weight to those ally panels.

This looks like a poor replica of Postman Pat's van taken from a small seaside town's carousel. The little carousel in the shopping precinct, not the big one at the seafront.

Painting over your brake fluid reservoir not actually a bad idea on a P6.

Insurance company: "Any modifications to the vehicle?"

Owner: "No. Oh, wait, yes - I removed the glovebox and replaced it with a secondary heater which makes the car look like Dr Kevorkian tried to turn it into a euthanasia machine"

Very reasonable and honest appearing advert and quite cheap I think for what it is. If I hadn't just bought a new car I'd probably be all over this!
 
 
Don't look at its MOT history if you're wearing tight shorts in a public space.

I'd say this defines "low(ish) cost high liability" but I see there's a couple of W12 VAGs up at similar prices...

My friends had one of those from 2k miles, it was Audi GB managing directors car, they ran that from 2K - 178k only bits required apart from consumables,  was a rear brake caliper, and back box when punctured with road debris

What sort of cost is their to replacing the battery pack?

Apologies for the late response. The cost for us (a few years ago now) was €2000 with goodwill from Toyota. The new pack should well see the car through the rest of its life now, hopefully. 

We also have a 07 Civic hybrid and it is not nearly as good as the Prius.

My neighbour had one a couple of years back - he reckoned it was massive fun to drive on back roads, but not very comfortable (he is in his 70s).  He replaced it with a Vauxhall Tigra...

If I question your sexuality, will it show me in a bad, homophobic, bigoted, light? 

I quite like them too, and my kids have both called me gay on more than one occasion. (My wife agreed with them) 

This is probably the only reason I have the omega. A proper straight man's car.

Here's one of these run out Stilo Schumacher abarths that have a weird base spec but finally ditched the selespeed for a manual box.

First thing I'm doing is getting rid of the chav interior. Steering wheel can get in the sea as well.

Will never look like a proper 100 CS though.
