Fancy a McLaren?

[exwindsurfer]

Yep.

I'd sell one of me livers for that!

 

[Tonybvi]

Don’t know about McClaren but I’ve got a bright yellow Lamborghini (2 wheel tractor complete with plough, rotovator, flail mower and snow blower attachments)!!!

We had various cars for playing on the old coal bing as kids. One was a Renault 5 and the only one to end up on its roof. 4 of us in it with no seat belts resulted in a broken collar bone for the driver and a broken wrist for a passenger.

Have had a Renault 4 van and various 2CVs, not souped up/restored like the ones posted here, but loved driving all of them

Add some onions and you may get a fiver, Rob

We had a Renault 4 when we got married all of 50 odd years back (CHK775G). Went on honeymoon with it to Skye where the water pump failed. Surprisingly there was a Renault dealer on Skye (Broadford Motors if a recall correctly) who stated that he didn’t like working on them as they used metric sizes and he didn’t do metric! However he stripped the pump off a new R4 in their showroom to get us on our way.
As soon as we got back home I part exed it for the best car I have ever had (apart from my Tesla MX), a Renault 16 TS - the most comfortable armchair like seats going and a car well advanced for its time.

You think anything that's not got a skoda badge on is crap ....

I'll stick with the Sinpar thanks ;-)

The new v dub skodas are not much use as they give trouble, the 1.9 diesel was a good donkey mind you.

Though I'd give a kidney for one of these ...

An expensive kidney! https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2012/10/16/citroen-sahara-sells-for-record-142500

Would that be pickled onion to go with the pickled kidney

 

[Tim120]

The good one?

Interesting, would make a great camper. I quite like it but I don't suppose it will be available on the UK market;

F1 engineer designs world's first Ikea-style flat-pack van that goes from box to the road in just 12 hours

We had a Maclaren in 1986.

I had a gold one briefly, and made a very nice bed when required as the seats were soooo soft and folded very flat, loved the body styling too.

Had a couple of A4s with the same lump, great engine.

Amazing how far off thread we can go, if we really try.
From a Ikea van, kiddies buggies, through pretty basic French cars, Skoda's, and into renal and hepatic removal.
No mention of lpg or tyre pressures yet.although, there's still time.

I like the look of it there is a chap who passes out house in something similar in army green, has the sachs/puch/stayer engine in it.

Might be a Haflinger, always wanted one since I saw one on an old TV program where the army took on the public off road.

Bulit proof engines if regular oil changes. One of my T5s had done 250k when I sold it and it’s still going strong and probably nearer 300k now. Only major work was a clutch and flywheel at 200k.

You could make them go like stink but cylinder liners were a problem if not rebuilt properly.
