breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Buy one of the caddies and the Micra, put the squishy leather seats in to the little Datsun and you will have frugal luxury to drive yourself to work.

Forget the Micra! :shock: Thae GM V8s run fine on a diet of neat veggie at 43ppl (Costsco, earlier this very day ;) ), forecourt fuel only needed in the depths of winter and then only to 30% so why not live a little? I love a K10 as much as the next red-blooded male with an obsession with interest in Ms Friel, but cheap Dizzling around in an American motor with a whopping great V8 vs sitting behind an ickle Datsun motor with my knees round my ears? Tough call I know, but yank V8 here please!

Mind on; the tough and roofless Citroen vanbertible does have a certain Je ne sais quoi. I really don't. :oops:

A "tuned" (which I believe is French for chavved) 2cv......... bizarre.
I think the Renault car transporting coach is pretty damn cool. I would say it is the perfect thing to transport your classic around in as you can use it as a mobile garage but being old and French, it will probably break down ;)

But what about that non-rusty Sud? I nearly choked on my late evening pickled egg when I saw that! :o :thumbs:
