There's a damn tidy one up the road from me, X or Y reg I think & gold.

Would you be getting yours to replace the Focus?

Mrs Rocker might be.....!

Didn't the robin have metro or corsa headlights towards the end?

Probably mk5 transit as they died 2001 or the black cab with the 2.5di? Did they run beyond 2001?

Less annoying tag line.

Who the hell was buying them? I can't recall seeing any newer than about 1985.

Weren’t they a relaunch Phoenix type attempt using old shells? I remember the local Honda (bike) dealers having them in the showroom as they seemed to be aimed at bikers with families and an aversion to winter riding.

Less annoying tag line.

I once drove a 2004 Octavia non turbo diesel, it was interesting.

I suppose that actually had a little bit of torque being the SDI engine. Unlike the 1.4 75bhp petrol skoda still fitted till around 2006!

I used a 99w REG polo sdi as my commute wagon for a couple of years. Sloooooweeee.

Tape and CD?

Overdrive?

Rubber floor mats (no carpets)?

Vacuum powered wipers?

Less annoying tag line.

My escort has rubber flooring and no carpet. Overdrive with manual box I'm unsure of but I'd say a early 90s volvo. my auto R plate avensis was 3 speed with overdrive and had a factory sony cd and cassette.

Again the 06 dispatch has rubber flooring but I suppose it is a van so doesn't really count

I think the new Citroen Ami thing has drum brakes all round along with manual steering. I like drums all round myself but a plastic blob with a top speed of 28 mph going to persuade anyone else that they're wonderful.
