[vokera80e]

i might be giving my age away here.But When i was in my late teens i used to own a Vauxhall Velox.6 cylinder job,Bench seat,column gear change,all the chrome furniture..and then i moved onto the ford Zephyr.-ford Zodiac...now i'm not taking nothing away from modern cars.Some are good-some are crap...But i really used enjoy driving them babie's,they was so relaxing and comfortable...(petrol was 70p a gallon) about 12 bob in old money...

did you have a favourite car....?

Not completely sure if this type of car was known over here, but this one was always my favourite: handy, reliable, not larger then a VW bug but much more loading space and you could park this one eally in the tiniest spot (well, at least I could)

A citroen GS Break

Not so sure I would trust a Dutch person's idea of a good car, didn't they produce the Daf 33, an awful car with a belt-driven gearbox?

Now you're talking! Fasted car around (if driving backwards, that is).

Volvo when buying over DAF thought they also bought the variamatic transmission, but alas, that was a separate company.

My parents used to drive DAF's, from the old Variamatic to the DAF66 on.
Great times, always upfront in a traffic jam

My son used to own one of them,and every time i went out with him i it,it was like a ble-eding rocket..i used to ask him where he kept the sick bags.

Well, I hope it means "shagging wagon" not "poo wagon."

(neither for me)

No, not really

It means car favoured mostly by pimps

....that would explain how the passenger got inflated and why he has a big grin on his face

the lady driver doesn't seem to be visible in the pic, perhaps she's leant down to get something.

I believe the passenger's brother works in the Airplane business.
