Again, the reason we bought my wife a mk6 Astra was that it was one of the few cars we could afford WITH an electric hand brake.  She had some issues* with her arm and shoulder, which caused her excessive pain when using the hand brake and changing gear, such that she could no longer drive.

* Calcific growth on the shoulder joint causing the nerves and muscles to be inflamed- sorted now..

I'm fine with the electric hand brake and hill hold, hill start function. 

 

You've a legitimate use case there, can't argue with that.

Nevertheless, it's one more thing to go wrong, and it just so slow to use I find it frustrating. Yes, I know I can just set off and it releases automatically, but I prefer to release it myself, to minimise wear and tear on the clutch and brake mechanisms and friction parts.

I once saw the saloon version of this at a Stony Stratford New Year show - and the 2-stroke clouds of blue exhaust it was putting out were very impressive. It's the sort of car that should regularly run past the Green Party's head office.....

Back in 1993 Lulu sung: "I want my Independence, I want my freeeedom...right now!"

Well here's the Peugeot 106 'Indendence', which looks quite tidy for a grand. 42k miles (if genuine), rev counter and an orange interior, what's not to like?

Visibility out of the above would be somewhat akin to driving round sat in a Converse baseball boot staring through the lace eyelets!

This looks great!  Honda 250 motorbike engine so the only dilemma is whether you get the address on the V5 as c/o Burns Unit or Fracture Clinic at the local hospital 👍

What used to be called a "marital aid' on wheels.........

Four and a half grand but the description makes it sound like you’re practically on the road in a week.

Tiny bits of welding, install the engine, fit the seats and put petrol in it🤪

I had one pretty much identical to this about 10 years ago.  It did indeed go pretty well - not stupidly fast but quick in a relaxing sort of a way.

[garethj]

Fifteen grand, and you’d probably get a better return on your investment with shares in Ratner’s jewellery shops, but just look at it!

I remember that hooning towards me, whilst driving the Mercury near Bolton Abbey steam railway on a narrow B road. I bet he soiled his pants as did I.

Posting this not  because it's intrinsically interesting but because I find it impressive that the seller has managed to misspell "VW", not once but four times.
