Problem!!!! She wants a Melos!!
My girlfriend was in the Uk last week and saw a red Dutton Melos. Now she wants one!!
Any ideas (how to talk her out of it)? Anybody got one tucked away, know someone with one?
Don't be ashamed to talk about a Melos, after all nobody liked ABBA but they still sold millions.

They're not that bad. I wouldnt buy one but i cant imagine it would take much work to improve the looks.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

If you've had her reg'd in your name for more than 12 month's and she's over 10 years old, she's worth £2000 towards a
new model
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

To quote my girlfriend just now, having shown her the pic in the thread "hehe, that's quite cute!"
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

I think a girlfriend/wife wanting a kit for herself is pretty cool. Better than aspiring to some tintop shopping trolley.
Maybe try pointing her at a Marlin, easier to get and a better car IMO.

Now we've seen the car, how about a few photos of the g/f?. We've got nothing to work on as if it is worthwhile to get a Melos.

I Confess
I have owned a Dutton Melos, (nice little red one!), a Dutton 'B'type and a Phaeton Mk2.
Cheap good fun, the kit market was not the same back then.
