Beware da beast...

So got myself this fearsome beasty for Christmas ohhh can I really handle the power??

yeah after loads of research, visits to car dealers, head absolutely set on getting a red turbo 3 door with stripes I see this and thought........aww god look at this one!! it is SOO cute

(btw it looks twice the size in the picture) Baby blue, who would have thought I would go and buy a baby blue car??? I don't even like blue!

But I love it... and be nice cos you'll scare it away!



Still getting use to the weird 3 cylinder engine noise, like a broken Subaru but it does go well and is so very comfy

Plan is to keep it Forever...

Very sensible.

suggest you get some white doors and you will have a cool panda car.

NOTE: need to be 50+ to understand that.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

I'll be honest Mr Whippy it's not a car I'd have seen you in. They seem quite well reviewed though so I hope it does you you proud.

Baby-blue ? Close to Invacar-blue

Whatever, nice car and I really like the colour

Seem to be a great little engine. Had a friend staying who arrived in his brand new Fabia fitted with the 3 cylinder engine. Seemed to go really well, drove almost like a smallish diesel (in a good way) and 60mpg on his trip down to us.

Like the land rover, bluebird, the other one and that other one, and ....

Nice car, although I'm noticing a trend in you getting smaller and more modern cars. Have you thought this through / where it ends?

The modern version of the peel P60

(Ok, being honest I saw these in Rome and was curiously impressed, not sure they're suited for British roads and winter)
