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!)

Pretty tight lock for a front wheel drive device don't you think. 8-)

Are you developing an NSU obsession? OK, so the tiny toy is some form of Citroen, but I'm wondering why that's not an NSU too, seeing as everything else is. :lol:

K70 please!

K70? I thought you were more of a K10 person

Yes, I know it's a Nissan March. If you are going to talk about Micras it may as well be the only one I would conceder driving.

I am not sure how they went from K9 to K10, it strikes me as a complete design philosophy change but there we go.

He is, isn't he? It's just as well I've been on the nest recently or I could well have experienced a small crisis at the sight of that March. :oops: ;)

Mocking you, Rich? :shock: Surely not. Mild lampoonery, on the other hand, is possibly happening. :lol:

Rich, if you owned a March I wouldn't extract the Michael (any more than usual anyway). As far as Micras go, it is definitely the cream of the crop.
