No, the boot is quite big but the boot lid is really small so packing luggage in is rather like building a ship in a bottle Fabergé Greggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 16 minutes ago, garethj said: There’s the throwing it around on the highway and then letting go of the steering wheel, the fact that he never stops it sliding on those cobbled streets and using the message of “this car is fast enough to outrun the police” as an advertising line. Plus the general cross country capabilities and driving through a river. And the four bounces of the front suspension as it comes to a halt around 9:50.

garethj Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I bloody love these CRZs, a hybrid sports coupe. In fact there’s only two things wrong with it: the fact it’s not a very sporty drive and that it’s not especially economical https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203508625506 willswitchengage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Even drivers of the new electric Citroen Ami will look down on you. When these came out, a friend was working in an instrumentation lab and for the crash test they didn’t want to use the expensive crash test dummies which are packed full of sensors. Instead they put in a simple, weighted dummy and doing it old school, put some red paint on the head, hands and knees so they could see the impact areas after the crash. They sent it down the track, waited for the bang and went to inspect the damage. When they opened the door it was apparently like a 2 year old’s painting inside the car. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294264527058 Supernaut, Remspoor, Kringle and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Two and a half grand.

Amishtat Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 15 hours ago, somewhatfoolish said: Be like @Angrydicky, but a few years later and a bit faster; more 1950s BMC porridge. 1600 BINs to save it from the Stan Woods cup, in Brentwood. That sat in a barn outside Colchester for years with smashed glass (and all its seats) . I recall taking a look in 2009 and making an offer to the land owner but he didn't want to take responsibility for it. 28000 miles on the poor thing then and a tax disc from 1984 in the remains of the windscreen. A common enough refrain but that's much too solid to waste on the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s slightly safer than a scooter, which is fine.
