      ^ At least I'm in good company 🙂

      I have fond memories of trips around Coventry in my grandfather's tobacco scented Viva. It was also the first car of an old school pal who liked to smoke while driving, until he threw a ciggie out of the window and it promptly blew back in and landed between his upper thighs while he was navigating a particularly narrow and twisty road.

      So that less fortunate members know what we're talking about, I present that marvel of the British automotive industry that was the Vauxhall Viva:

        My heap of shit was more like this….

        But mine had a matt grey primer rear offside wing because after the accident I only had it primed and could never afford to get it painted properly….

          Well I returned to rear wheel drive after wrapping a Honda Integra Type R around a lightpole. On a straight road… I know everything about lack of skill 🙂

            it ended its life on someone's front garden wall thanks to a fishtailing incident and my lack of skill.

            I did the same thing for the same reason in my first car….But mine was an avocado green Mark II Viva....

                                      Well, when you have Horween leather seats I can see why you might want doors, but of course…

                                      Jeeps shouldn't have Horween leather seats in the first place.

                                      Think it, be it.
