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!)

Oi, I resent that! Nothing wrong with pop-up headlights, all the best 80s cars have them. :)

So do some Mazda 323s from the middle bit of that decade. Not sure about the MPG on those or the top speed but Rich, now that we've established that you might be keeping an open mind in the sexual orientation department, how about one of those funky Mazdas? :D
Or you could do the logical thing and take Luxo's advice. These Volvos are just so cheap nowadays, bargainous in the extreme they are and everyone would immediately think that you're straight if you drive one. As long as it's not white, white cars are for girls and polises.

Well there is another member living in France that may be able to assist you in finding an ovloV as he is a hoarder of Swedish boxes on wheels. ;)

or you could get it now and then you have a while to work out the wiring to get the engine from a Focus ST in there ;)

It is surprising what percentage of 4x4s seem to survive compared to "normal" cars. I suppose it is because people think they are useful in the winter so are more willing to spend some money keeping them on the road.
