Have we had the Maserati MiTo, the sister car to the Abarth Ferrari?

The OP kicked this off with a Mitsubishi Colt... Just remembered I saw a video where Hubnut reviewed a Mitsubishi Colt (aka Mirage) with the Mitsubishi Super Shift transmission.

So, a late 70s small hatchback with an 8-speed (4-speed with a range splitter) manual; rare edition?

That's amazing! Modern car designers need to take note how crisp, clean and clear that dash baord is!

Non-RS Clio Mk 3 Gordini. 1.6 VVT or 1.5 unblown diesel. Three- or five-door. Seems to have existed just for 2011MY



Twin exhaust pipes. Rawwwrr!

What do you mean by ‘unblown diesel’?

Naturally aspirated, I expect. Non-turbo (i.e. mega slow) diesel.

That’s what I thought and why I questioned it.

The Gordini got a 106bhp 1.5 DCi Turbo diesel with a 6 speed box. It’s a great engine/box/car combo.

Renault haven’t put a non turbo derv in a car since the 90’s I think.

I used to have non turbo diesel MK1 Clio way back when. Handled great, slow as sin.

Probably twice the cost of a normal funeral/burial.

‘Probably’ and also irrelevant.

My godfather had an eco burial (woodland, cardboard coffin) - worked out significantly cheaper than a traditional burial (coffins are expensive).

Traditional coffins are a massive waste, its nice people are choosing different options

Yep ops post sounds like utter BS. They have used DCI lumps since the Mk2 Clio so it’d be bonkers for them to go to a n/a lump.

Just to close off this thread drift .... Quotes for both Cardboard & Wicker caskets were double a normal Ash casket when we enquired for a family member last year ... Every day's a school day etc ..

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Toyota Yaris grmn

1.8 supercharged
6 speed manual with lsd
4 pot front brakes
17" forged BBS alloys
Sachs suspension
Gr bucket seats, gt86 steering wheel
Rear exhaust based on wrc rally car
All came white with red/black gr graphics although I removed all of mine so it was all white added even more to the unknown nature of the car
1150kg kerb weight iirc
600 world wide 100 came to the uk

I had one last year I think had a thread on here. Genuinely great to drive and being Toyota was reliable (did need a clutch at 13k miles but down to previous owner riding it)

I enjoy it more over a b road than my a45 I got to replace it with.

When used car prices soften I'll prob grab another one

It has been dude earlier on. I was looking at these for my next car but sure if its big enough for a chunk and I'm not a great fan of the dashboard.
