pompei Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Just heard that Ford is selling Jag and Land Rover to Tata - does this now make them instant shite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoterstangen90 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 of course the new Jag SUV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Those Tata pickups are horrific, I wonder what the even more luxurious Jaguar-esque Safari is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 horrific, but a bit more comfortable. Supposed to be bombproof, but the build quality is crap, so Jag and Disco drivers should feel right at home when Tata start building them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Ghiaman Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Anybody else share my love for this Indian beauty? There are some good people in Wales who import them to Blighty, but it might be fun to go over to Injah, buy one & drive around for a bit. You'd have to avoid the Tatatat, but I believe there are some nice buildings & views to see, plus wildlife. And they say the food's good too.

STUNO Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I would love to see an Ambassador (car) but sadly? none have been imported. REALLY want to see the Jaguar dealers selling that little Tatra cheapie though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If you want a shite lash-up of a former British car why not try a Peugeot RD from Iran? It's a Hillman Hunter underneath but a Peugeot 405 on top. A 405 that's GR8 4 DRIFTN, what more could you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Piccy of the RD below, you can see the RWDGRT4DRIFTIN diff casing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Ghiaman Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well done Richard & Volksy! Looks like Stuno did get that RD to Rotorua, even if he hasn't got an Amby - that beach ain't in Iran, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 OMGWTFBBQ - 405 that's GUD 4 DRIFTIN N DOGGIN (if they do an estate)...where do I sign??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Ghiaman Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well, Monsieur welfare, your Fr. friends from Peugeot seem to have cornered the Persian shite market, la Marché de Merde Iranienne, notwithstanding the odd Renault Cinq. Maybe, though, the Motormullahs can interest you in this 'Pride of Korea'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Question is though, will they resurrect the utterly shite (and never UK-imported) Pride estate? I saw one in the queue for Eurodisney parking last week.Oh, and futureshite fans get ready - I saw a miniwagon version of the new Clio on a transporter yesterday as I blatted up the autoroute to make the ferry on time. What's with these mini wagons these days, anyway? Shurely all you get is a midsized-hatch boot space...but the car takes up a midsized-hatch amount of roadspace. Am I missing something (apart from hair, free time, and disposal salary)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Apparently the Clio wagon has a good bit more loadspace than the five door as the rear overhang is extended. Still a bit unconvinced though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 They do a Xantia too, as well as what looks very much like a saloon version of the 121/Pride.http://www.saipacorp.com/en/Use the links along the bottom, the ones under "vehicles" don't all work.

Richard Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I managed to find a slightly better RD pic, you can see the leaf springs on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUNO Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well done Richard & Volksy! Looks like Stuno did get that RD to RotoruaWE don't have any artificial beaches, plants, sky , rocks,etc, so I think you may be a bit off target there. But what a wonderful shite car it must be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I managed to find a slightly better RD pic, you can see the leaf springs on this one. THats amazing! How great would it be to have one of those shitters. The bootlid doesnt even fit properly! Marvllous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 http://www.iran-daily.com/1384/2449/html/focus.htm"But the Peugeot RD -- referred to by some European auto quality control centers as a Real Disaster -- the Pride 141 and the Sepand PK are in a catastrophic technical state. Peugeot RD, which has the Peugeot 405 face but with a Peykan platform, has 524 technical faults, the Pride 141, which is a face-lifted Kia Pride, has 571 faults and the Sepand PK, which uses an outdated Renault-5 assembly line, has 698 defects."524 technical faults! I wonder what actually works on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmann Ghiaman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Did you see that programme a few weeks ago about the Iranian woman 'racing driver'? Actually it was only sort of stock cars (not F1 as the 'papers seemed to imagine). Certainly the lady in question was a stunnah ('looks like Angelina Jolie' as one reviewer correctly pointed out), though also a cheat, having a more powerful car painted to look like another. Anyway, you also saw rich young Iranians cruising the streets of Tehran by night and of course they weren't driving any shite. They had the usual Mercs, Porsches, Ferraris, Jags, etc. like you see in Kensington (also being driven by rich Iranians). Saipas are probably just for planting car bombs across the border in Iraq.

Richard Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Finally got an underbonnet pic. There's a whole series of pics, not all RD. http://tuningtalk.persiangig.com/Namayeshgah_Khodro_Gorgan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
