A guy I used to know, hillclimbed a yellow Frogeye, didn’t turn up at the pub one night. His mate who had a part share in the car went round his house the following day to find him trapped, dead under the car.


WTF the whole point of Roses is they’re wrapped by Rose Engineering’s machine in a twisted wrapper. This plastic stuff is bollox, it’s all going to ****.

Rust was a problem for a lot of cars back in the day - including the vast majority of British cars. It's just that certain manufacturers (Lancia spring to mind) were tarnished with a (really) bad reputation.

My mum had one of these that she inherited from my grandfather, which I learnt to drive in. However, it didn’t look this good, as it was a ‘chocolate’ brown colour. It was great fun though, 5 gears and would almost do 100mph. Much better than the dire Fiat Uno she replaced it with, which sounded like it was going to explode at 80mph!!!

Fiat 127 Super Sports... how I wanted my mum to buy this one instead of the baby blue one she purchased instead.

The Mrs fancies a Fiat 500.
And she actually likes the look of this one.
