A Hillman hunter 1750 automatic, nice car but sadly was found to made of thin air at MOT time.

when my mum fell on hard times we had a hillman imp, some garage ripped her off big style.. it died after a week... the garage swapped it for another imp   :lipsrsealed:

i quite enjoyed being in it though!

Haha good thread!!

The first car I remember being in was my dad's custard cream coloured Lada. I remember it had a tartan travel rug over the back seat and once we were driving down to Wales late at night and a massive rock smashed a huge hole in the windscreen. In those days before mobile phones and breakdown cover we had to just carry on driving. Never been so cold!

The second car I remember was his wonderful black Capri. I have love Capris ever since, I was so sad when he sold it to purchase his (again custard cream coloured, but with a brown roof) Jag XJ6 (which was pretty cool actually, it had that wonderful old musty leather smell inside. Well I love that smell anyway).

At some point I vaguely remember a Chevette also, it was blue, possibly at the same time as the Capri or slightly before, not sure.

Would have been either my uncle's Beetle or my grandfathers car which I can remember what it was like inside but can't remember what it was :undecided:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
