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!)

240D.. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Mmm, me likey these old school, N/A VAG Diesels, especially that one. Shame it isn't a D24T, but that could be addressed. :twisted: The super-rare auto option would be nice though, and a steering wheel on the driver's side of the car too please. 8-)

You could tell her your Iveco is broken again and you need a replacement ;)
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.

:shock: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Want the trike, want it NOW! Best thing about trikes (and heavy quads but I feel that Aixam and Ligier may be on the forum's naughty word list..) is that they're all in the same category for licencing purposes. Unlike in four (and more) wheeled categories, no distinction is made between auto and manual, which means that I can legally drive manual ones.

D'you suppose the film is speeded up? I'm guessing that it's not, judging by the matching noise so that would probably be quite a nippy little bugger to ride/drive. :)

:shock: Still, nothing there that a good coat of camo wouldn't fix, eh? ;)

Just take it mudding. An afternoon of fun is much cheaper than a bucket of paint.

My daughter's had a couple of Clios. The 1.5dci is a very sweet-running small diesel. It should have had a cam-belt change by that mileage and the first one she had went through front wheel bearings at regular 20,000 mile intervals. Front shocks don't seem to last long either. Other than that it's just the usual French car vices of flimsy interior trim and switchgear.
