Yeh it does have 206cc wheels!

[loserone]

Oh, and it fits in the garage with the trailer behind it.  Perfect!

[Kiltox]

God that grill’s almost as gopping as the lights 

well played.

mid life crisis ? my hairy arse ! you're a bloody teenager, boy ! 

you've still got hair to feel the wind in

[Marm Toastsmith]

Ha! 3 CJs on here now! Welcome to the club!

Those wheels don't look too bad, what size are they? If they're 15" I might have to go in search of a set!

[loserone]

Fifteens, yes.

 

If you want them, I'm trying to buy those delicious ones from Daviemck2006 which might be made easier as a swap.  Shit tyres though

In theory the kids can go in the back, but it's lap belts so we'd need a specialist seat.  However apparently the same seats are good with long buckles like in the 305, so maybe that's on the cards anyway rather than trying to retrofit three point belts.

How old are your kids? I managed with some older seats that are 2 point compatible when my kids were younger. Britax Prince and something else that worked, I forget the model. Both were bought fairly cheap secondhand.

Here you go: https://www.madeformums.com/reviews/britax-prince-review/

Tbh now (at 9 and 5) I let them either ride in the back with lap belts but no boosters, or in the front with a booster cushion. It's hard to get any sensible advice re lap belt safety but at their age I reckon this is the best bet without fitting 3 point belts. Would be interested to see if you manage to get any fitted.

9kg/16 months and two and a half.. little one can only just go forward facing.

 

Britax seemed to be the recommended one

[Marm Toastsmith]

The second seat I used was a Maxi Cosi - I think a Priori XP. It's not one that's specifically recommended but it worked just fine... perfect for little ones and reclines nicely for a snooze.

Pew-Gee-Oughts are no longer available in the States. It looks inspired by the Volkswagen Rabbit.

Well, it's not a PT Cruiser convertible, but it's a start!

[Roobarb]

That’s top shelf that is! (Being topless and all that). 

Had a yearning for one back in the 19MaxPower80s with a dimma kit. Today I’d happily just go for the stock version. 

Question is are you man enough / mad enough to rock those lights?

Sweet ride! Wishing you sun and sun cream to enjoy it!

Perfect, they'll clear the unnecessarily large brakes going on the front of mine!

Shit tyres is fine by me, I was expecting to have to get skinny tyres and spacers for my 307 wheels either way! Better work a bit more and sell some crap so I can give you some beer tokens for them
