That's suspiciously cheap. It's almost tempting though, just because. I have absolutely no need nor want for a Freelander but the temptation to just try one out is strong, particularly at that price.

Woof! I thought being a diesel might help to mitigate things at least a little bit, but it seems the auto box is doing its best to piss all the power and economy up the wall.

Poweredbyhopealone Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I recently watched a couple of rounds of the 1998 BTCC and well. Brilliant innit. So here are some cars you can buy to pretend to be a racing driver in: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203792934966?hash=item2f73016836:g:2T0AAOSw3x9h55fW Gooner in the correct colour. Also has "sport" in the name so probably gaps most anything. How about an S40? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255201678772?hash=item3b6b3495b4:g:o1kAAOSw8zhh2p1m I know nothing about these cars aside from the fact this shape is surprisingly aerodynamic. Prefer your touring cars to come from Japan? Here's an Accord in proper "dull as dishwater" greys https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165068274017?hash=item266ed5f961:g:fBQAAOSwtuBhNyXm Fun fact about the A4, they switched to front wheel drive from 4wd in 1998. Made them faster too I seem to remember but someone can weigh in if they have more info. Red cars are faster too. Simple fact of life. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313846498978?hash=item4912b586a2:g:DCMAAOSwXzBh7obC It would seem that P11 Primera's are thin on the ground. I could only find this rather old advert for an automatic example. No GT's that I could find while trying to entertain myself in this aerodynamics lecture https://www.motors.co.uk/car-61764374/?utm_source=newsnow&utm_medium=marketplace&utm_campaign=all-vehicles My personal favourite, the 406, seem to have also all dissappeared. Have a diesel one which has never let the P/O down. Nice to have something to cuddle up to on a dark night. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115217434784?hash=item1ad37e88a0:g:5dIAAOSwo11h7Yiw&autorefresh=true I think this one will be the most popular, also Nigel Mansell drove one for a few races. This one is pretty nice if rather spendy. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114806914888?hash=item1abb067f48:g:ScYAAOSwPVlgnjCa And finally, the Vectra. This one is a GSI (correct) a saoon and not a hatch (also correct) but is the tiniest bit crispy. Also its many coins. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403424888969?hash=item5dedff4889:g:J54AAOSwB7Fh6~QS&autorefresh=true And i'm done. If you have alternates please hit me up.

Fantastic little thing to drive though. I think the first place I ever saw one of these was on one of those "Motorsport madness!!!!!!11!!ONE!" VHS tapes with loads of crashes in. Loads of these got binned in amateur rallies and I have wanted one ever since. MisterH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by Christ silver paint does nothing for it🙁 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-corolla-t3-d-4d-1-4-diesel-/255320034970?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Must admit that's a new one on me, always believed these had the 2.0l as a minimum. Looks a really decent car, got I know had a pez one and his dad too, reckons they were seriously unbreakable. The Toyota garage he used had one in after a major incident and it was still running but scrap only. They did a "5th gear" job on it and drained all the oil out too see how long it would still run for, I think it was the full 10hr day, switched off, restarted the next day and ran out of fuel first!!! Agree totally boring but very reliable. Once I move some shit on I may consider one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
