They sold the previous version here. It was imported by one of the larger Mazda dealers. I gues numbered were, at best, limited.

There are a couple of rules around when a manual is the correct type of gearbox and when an automatic is preferable

The for2 cup is excellent watching - I saw a round at Roch8ngham a couple of years ago. 4twos on the banking look like they’re about to fall over! 

I have, according to Toyota GB, the plural of Yaris is Yaris.

No VehiCROSS any more and the Yaris underbracing acts as a plough, so the MX5 is on “take me to France”winter duty this year (this picture not taken in France).

Isuzu VehiCROSS & Axiom.

My money is that he’ll have a Dodge or Chrysler.

“Barely remembered”? Not by many of us, who still gawp out of the windows on our A320s as we taxi past the one still on the tarmac at Heathrow for the many-th time this year.

There’s one at Château de Savigny near Beaune in France too.

Also, original Renault Twingo...

This is like the boot space in my MX5 ND. “It’s tiny!” “But you can fit in 2 carry on bags and 2 laptop/hand bags” I retort. “How often do you need more than that?”.

Oh, was it you that broke it?

A Richard Scarry reference! I haven’t thought about that in years...

One of the design criteria imposed by Gordon Murray is that an F1 should be “restorable” in the future. Hence minimal injection moulded and stamped parts and most parts are machined or cast.

Thanks for the heads-up in the stumpy Ariel. I’m in the UK so the postage would probably be greater than the item cost... 🙁

Before my ND had even arrived I’d ordered a 6" stubby aerial from a Civic Type-R to replace the standard eye-poker.

“...plagued with electrical, mechanical and structural issues...”

This. Totally this.

Here in the UK it was available with a 2.8 litre diesel that could wheeze from 0-60 in a smidge under 11 seconds. It doesn’t seem to have fallen into the hands of the line dancers and Elvis impersonators who buy the crappy PT Cruisers, Calibers, Avengers and Compass that Chrysler flogged over here and then slather…

I was about to post the same - it’s been moved to a different room int he Volvo Museum now.
