Nice handling cars with awfully badly made bodies.

I had a Vauxhall for a short time. I used to hit the bodywork, too, on a regular base. Not to make anything fit, but to express my feelings about it´s reliability..Obviousman wrote: I read stories about the manufacturing, seems they had to hit certain parts of the bodywork with a hammer to make them fit
Maybe the workers couldn´t help but let their feelings show, too?

Wel, slightly OT, but since they are replacing my fave smoke "Barclay Menthol" with the camel dung that is "Kent", I might actually succeed in quitting this time

And I can tell you a couple of stories about stuff like this. Parts falling off? You never drove a Russian bike before if you think an Astra is bad...
The only thing you need for the trip, as per maintenance material, is a empty Coke can and a mallet...

That´s why my score at the mercedes drift game is ridicioulously lousy.

I never got the fuss about MG really
A Minerva and an Auburn (actually all ACD-cars), on the other hand are quite something indeed

Believe it or not, but I did hire one of them (I was after a Golf or an Astra, long story) to ferry myself, Andrew S + Big Si down to leeds for Black Oktober 2. It was a very nice car chock full of gadgets, leather upholstry etc. But it drank petrol like it was going out of fashion and the acceleration sucked.
So, to sum up:
looked good
was very comfy
handled like a tank
guzzled petrolium
