Followed this little gem in The Hague but unfortunately couldn't get a shot of the front.
Turns out it's Burton; 2CV based like a Lomax, only rather better looking.
Do they come with buggered piston rings and/or bores as standard? I had an old 2CV, it used to need a top-up fairly regularly but it didn't smoke like that.

There was more smoke in the other pics. That one was the clearest!

May have been posted already but I'm not trawling though 90+pages to find out.

At work the other day we had an 08 DIESEL renaultsport Megane. I never heard of them before. I got excited as I had to test drive it, thinking it was a 225 or whatever they are. Jumped in and fired it up and it was diesel!

I thought, someone's spent ALOT of money making a diesel replica, it had the centre exit flue pipe, brembo's, the seats, the lot! Turns out it's a proper thing. 175bhp oil burner. Went really well actually.

Cool story bro.hehe

I was at a camping expo a few months ago and one company had one of those as campervan. I still can't see the point of a campervan with a range of 200 miles before needing several hours charging.

That is brilliant. But, jeez, it looks like it's got all the directional stability of a supermarket trolley!

I'm browsing the Japanese auctions and spotted a Nissan Exa, not sure if posted already but certainly interesting. The "canopy" version:

No, that's Jonny Smith's electric drag car.

He means this one.

Hi there,

On the M4 today in Wales I overtook a Volvo S60 that was riding very high and looked odd. Having passed it I could see it was badged 'AWD' A bit of digging tonight and I found out it is an S60 XC (Cross Country). I know Volvo have a range of XC estates but I have never seen it on one of their saloons.





Regards

Tim
