Quit feudin' Granma, an' git over here... IT'S THE COVENTRY HILLBILLIES!!! ;D ;D ;D ...and isn't that moggy Nurse Gladys' car...?  |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

That looks scarily similar to the curse word pickup type trucks we've got in work. I'm not that clued up on them and ours are a bit newer but hell they are wibblepoo! God awfull things. I'd never drive one out of choice. The hanger Citroen isn't much better but does have a better engine.

lol, that's about 2 minutes round the corner from me. Might go have a gander ;D
If you go to the upmarket flats next to the aardvark (looking at the front of it, they're to the right with red walls) there's a hella-mean Mitsubishi 2000 turbo in the underflat car park, in yellow. Looks rough, but mean. Tried to flier it through the fence, and failed miserably ;D

MaZda B2000,Also sold as Ford ....The perfect makings of a Sport pickup,bolt in a later Turbo Something and you have the greatest burnout fun truck going.big brakes ,super strong diff, slid almost indestructible chassis ...In fact anything goes,try doing this with a Citroen..  |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
