"This is madness!" "Madness? THIS. IS. A. SPARTAN!" I'l tell you what really was madness - the roof on this thing. I watched the owner putting it up - several minutes of zips, press studs and assembling poles. Like some kind of hellish tent crossed with a Krypton Factor puzzle. Made me appreciate my MX5's two-catch system a whole lot more.

Other than it being a series 3 i think, I don't know much either, but it looks early enough not to be fiddled with to me (inner purist leaking out - sorry) I don't know when they got wind up windows, and maybe its the unpainted metalwork making it look older. I feel like I should know more about these, but i don't. Should be green (sorry)

Holiday Spots Went to Croatia for an early holiday in May. This is an island, (Brač) so the local cars work for a living and the landscape benefits from a lack of scrappage schemes, and a will to keep things running for a long time.I loved it here - so many Renaults, (Lots of R4 pics as it was the first car we had as when I was a lad, so a lot of nostalgia for me seeing so many), so many vintage trucks still in day to day use. I'd say pretty much none of these cars are for show, as a posturing affectation. They're just people's cars going about their daily business. Which is all kinds of aces. R4 R4 R4 Nice Kadett / Chevette R4 Racing R4 (well I think it services local boats) R4 R4 (sensing a theme yet?) Pov Spec Golf How did that get in here? R4 Enhance.... "Take me to the Kibble shop!" English Dennis Firetruck. 'Supeter' is the town. Nice Patina. These trucks all over the place getting stuff done Another Sprinter looks mean with no bumper. Panda and Fester. Both waiting for ferry to mainland. Two Teutonic Doppelkabins. Love the Merc. Slammed Felicia on G60 steels (well something VAG) I don't make them, I only report them. Yugo Golf One 5 Door Corsa R-Four and Twingo. Tonnes of Twingos here too. Zastava, Polo, Niva and B3 Passat Kadett Sweet Merc Care-worn Cav/Ascona Sweet 190e Still some eastern-bloc influence here Audi 80 Rare Subaru Justy (and Yugo) FIAT Bravo Weekend Minter!
