Mythical 'too shite for Autoshite' status : ACHIEVED

 

What do you expect?

The recipe for the Espero was to take a Vauxhall, look long and hard for any redeeming feature and carefully remove it.

A bit like removing the glitter after a turd was rolled in it.

I've a Nexia 1500, and an Espero 1800 auto

 

The Nexia is fun to drive, zingy, free revving and relatively chuckable ( albeit on fatter Keskin rims). I quite like driving it, and hope to get it out for the worst of winter. Eminently usable.

 

The Espero is dull. The engine gearbox combo doesn't work, is underpowered ( seemingly) harsh and unwilling. The car feels heavy and wooden, doesn't handle well ( despite slightly wider 3 spokes) & accelerates like there's a plug lead off. Dashboard is awful, interior plasticky, driving position wrong.

And it drinks fuel - around half the mpg of the Nexia, in similar conditions.

 

There's nothing inherently awful with it, it just doesn't inspire. I like the way it looks, so for now it stays, but that may well change next time I extract it for a few weeks ' pleasure'.

Check out this glorious early 75!

It's only 600 BINS. Downsides are it's a 2.0 not a 2.5, and it's on the fuggin south coast. I had better not have any more rosé or I am gonna end up buying this.

For accelerating very slowly in absolute style, there's literally nothing better than a 2.0 V6 Rover 75.

I reckon this fella would be better using those court room sketches from another thread than the hopeless pictures he's posted

Useless

 

That's one level deeper than I've seen before. That's a photograph taken of a screen which itself contains a photograph of another screen which contains the original photo. I really don't know what situation leads this to be the only solution to transferring photos.

They copied the Fronterror for extra off road points.

Is it so you can shut the upper glass part first and then slam the lower half and smash the glass into a million pieces?

 

They should bring back those two-way doors like old Yank station wagons had - they were ace.

I presumed it was front suspension issues not the rear arms rotting through. Never heard of that before on one of these. When are you picking it up?
