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!)

Le Triumph, maybe the French army bought it to learn something ;)

The Citroen is 99% as cool as the last pickup you found.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I think most people have a soft spot for a Wolseley. It won't be as sporty as your MR2 but it bet it gets more looks.
