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!)

Yeah, but most of the Mazdas that bear the name are Ford Fredas and they're useful, especially the automatic turbodiesel 4x4 versions with a hidden toilet, oven, beds in the roofspace and twin zone climate control, however they're every bit as rustprone as the most rustprone thing in the world, but more so.

It appears to have leaked a large quantity of fluids underneath it. Is that normal?

:P

I like the little Toyota but given that I only just have sufficient room in a rather larger one, that may have to remain a dream for now. Shame, I like small plastic things.
What's up with the bivvy bearing Baja bug though? I've seen tents attached to Range Rovers' roofs and similar but the Beetle's narrow, curved shape would worry me, imaging getting it on with one's other half in there and putting the weight just that bit far outboard of the car's contact patch. Could be a whole world of embarrassment waiting for some lucky campers.

As for Satan's sleigh, that could work as long as there's a Formula 1 car hiding in there somewhere.
