Fiat panda cross with a few mods. The standard car even comes with a diff lock and does 50+ mpg

Not sad at all. These are awesome little cars, supposedly good off road too. They are pretty small up close though. I'd quite like one myself, with a 100HP too!

In my younger days, the Fierce Panda (with its deck chair seats) was the ubiquitous Spanish rental car; many's the time I've dented my way around the streets during the early hours.

But my - look how the little hire car hath grown!

And - it appears to be a van (?) and I can get the VAT back on it AND standard RFL applies to vans.

I need a van ..... I always need a van..........

The position of that rollcage would make me think twice about doing anything interesting in it without a helmet!

I guess its got harnesses, and maybe the angle makes it look worse than it is, but still!

Gravelben - I see your point but there's so little weight on the cage; I reckon it'd roll and roll and roll all day long.

On the other hand - I prefer sweet, black seedless grapes or, if worst comes to worst, all "in memorium" donations to ARAS Dog Rescue.

Surely - hundreds of Spaniards & Italians can't be wrong..... can they?

Its not the strength of the cage I'd be worried about, just the likelihood of cracking your head on it without a helmet!
