has any body mentioned the old 60s plymouth valiant it looked like something out of a marvel comic. also the orange thing that looks like a wheel chock for a dump truck, is called a bond bug, I drove one once, and only once the seats are moulded in the construction with inch thck foam & vinyl cushions. let your imagination do the rest, but don't try one if you got piles. it's near as bad as riding a hardtail.
MERRY CRIMBLE TO ALL,
Innes

Hey that's not a sickness it's a calling! I've not done any for a while, but back in the 80,s me and a mate put a 3.5 litre ally block rover V8 in an early model mazda 323 (you had to be very careful with the loud pedal) also shoehorned a 2.8 ford Granada driveline into a Lada saloon (serious street sleeper fun at the lights) Ive also done various yanks over the years & mercs too but they're easy peasy cos every thing's interchangable. next project is going to be a renault 4 with 5 turbo running gear for the wife (unless I can come up with a way to squeeze a nice bent 8 in it)
now where did I leave the angle grinder...... |

does this count? 800cc IL4 with fulltime 4wd and two-speed transfercase. Top speed was 70mph. |

Was that 70 mph vertical off a cliff?

When I live in Nairobi, the company furnished me with one of those Suzukis. Except, mine had a three cylinder two stroke engine that displaced 539cc. It was a real cheap - assed piece of crap.
Dullorb, that thing looks like it belongs in a Woody Allen movie. Is it called an Orgasmatron? |

A good friend had one of those Suzukis back in the early 90s.
The places that thing could go - not vrey fast now - but you could follow ATVs on tight paths.
Almost wedged it in between two trees one day to the point of needing a chainsaw to remove the truck. |

Ugliest domestic car has to be the AMC Matador.. What could they have been thinking. Eyesore import would be any KIA.
Ugliest bike? The Suzuki RE5, followed by ANY Suzuki. |

I lived in Waikiki when I had that LG, Newfie, as a joke I used to do donuts on that street without touching the curbs. I used to also park it in spaces that honda civic hatchbacks couldn't get into or out of. |
