Sunbeam Alpines make me smile.

[tonyav]

Nice sports car those Alpines were, Daisy, however the Sunbeam Tiger was better. It had the same body as the Alpine but had a Ford V8 engine in it.

[sunny-dave]

I had an Alpine ... unfortunately it was a Chrysler Alpine :(

Looks like an Avenger in drag dave:-)

[tonyav]

Jaysus, they were bad cars, Dave. You could hear the tappets coming before you could see the car.

[sunny-dave]

Yep - metal woodpeckers under the bonnet accompanied every mile you did.

[Graham-W]

I had a Singer Chamois. A sewing machine and something to clean the windows with.
I also had an Alfa Sud. Not really an Alfa, nice engine but the rust worms were most active.

[tonyav]

Graham, the rust worms were active in almost all cars of that era, some did seem worse than others though.

[Stephen_G]

It's not a bad car by any means, but what were Skoda thinking of with the Yeti?

[tonyav]

Probably trying to give it an image of strength by giving it the stupid name Yeti, I think, Stephen.

[Hopkirk]

I had a Triumph Herald my girlfriend was very impressed with the real wood dash board.
Had an Austin Princess as well , great car, so much room with the bench front seat 2 couples could have a sh@g in it at the same time, one in the front one in the back. Did over 100mph as well , though not a good idea while sh@gging!

[tonyav]

LOL, one of the guys at work has got a Mitsubishi Pajero's, Hopkirk, tomorrow Ill have to tell him what it means.

[EDDIE51]

The car named Pony was a joke for cockneys , Pony is slang for cr@p is in ''I'm busting for a pony'' Pony= pony and trap > cr@p

[Hopkirk]

My brother had a Hyundai Pony (supplied by his company overseas)

I don't think he would disagree.

It was a hot country, and when he turned the air conditioning on it stalled the engine.

[tonyav]

Yes I remember the 'Pony', EDDIE, Korean or Malaysian if I remember rightly.

[maggiebee]

Neighbour had a Lada - built like a tank and felt very safe in one.
