AxWomble Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Saw this when it came out! Almost old Top Gear, it’s spooky…the comments about the naff seats in the Saxo aren’t far off, the ones in our AX wobbled about quite a bit, mainly because only one of the runners has a catch mechanism, the other one is free-running. If it gets worn, (as they all do) you end up with a rocking chair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one now before they all dissolve… In all seriousness, they’re still cheap, they drive really well and they’re fully depreciated - own it for 6 months and give it a good service and you’ll get your money back.

I can imagine the conversation at home will be: "What do you need 3 cars for?!" "Well... err... as my brother is moving out of the country doesn't that mean we have a parking space to fill up?"

AxWomble Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I’d be hitting up Bumtree and Faceache Marketplace too, and maybe joining a few Saxo/106 groups on there - plenty for sale, all the time, at bargain prices. There seem to be plenty of one/two owner cars around still, cherished forever, tidy interiors etc. Ours was just under £500 and the interior is MINT, came with 9 months MOT too - I’d say a decent MOT is the most important thing with AX/Saxo/106, they really know how to rust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm - friend of mine had a sporty Saxo and it was the biggest heap he ever drove he said. He had owned some sort of Fiat van camper thing, so he was well used to shite.

Talbot Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It's the way he stands with his arms "bulked out" to attempt to make himself look bigger. Just looks silly. It's not clear if he does it intentionally or just naturally, but I always notice it, so it becomes something I end up looking out for, which somewhat messes with the point of the video.

He's always done it in the videos I've watched.I don't know if he's stopped training, but his arms look smaller making the pose look more stupid.
