The frogeye, mechanically is pretty much the same as my Morris Minor. Parts are so cheap that even with air freight from the UK to Guatemala (and import duties) they’re about half the cost of the same part for a newer part.

The only good food the British have contributed to the world is fish and chips. Every other British food is awful.

Me and my mates used to pile in one of these, go on a pub crawl around Cornwall or down to a night club, end of which if any of us scored we take turns in the back. If this vans rocking, don’t bother knockin’!
I had a ‘96 T-5R. Same review from me! Was a ton of fun — I always enjoyed hauling camping gear up windy roads — but the interior was so Fisher-Price. A later E46 wagon was better in every regard but it never had that T-5R boost...
AAAAAAHHHHHH! That big-haired woman in the front seat with that evil smile! Scared the feces out of backside. The low resolution of the video did nothing to help that. You really need to warn people before you post something like this!
The most awesome 80's ad ever is the minute-long “Cadillac Style” campaign circa 1989. It’s on Youtube. It has it all: tennis, aerobics, yachts, polo players, skeet shooting, fencing, steeple chasing, private jets, chauffeurs, adults making out in the back seat of a deVille, an annoyed woman driving an Allante passing…
The 80's, they burn!
Just an FYI, we had the X1/9 as well! A friend had one until a couple years ago. It had extra weight added due to needing steel plates welded into the floorboards and trunk as the floors had rusted out.
I have a ‘94 850 Turbo Wagon with a few mods (16t Turbo, 3" exhaust, Japan exhaust manifold) It’s is super comfortable for tall folks, and really is a blast to drive
That color is Pleasant Muted Yellow.
“Would visit again if not currently married with children.”
Dang handbrake turns in a taxi. I don’t know how I feel about that. If my taxi driver is using handbrake turns, i would kindly let them know i am not in that much of a rush.
Good motivation to visit, but not so much to invade. Finnish “comfort women” would definitely knife you in your sleep. Better to win them over the traditional Finnish way: by being the only guy in town who isn’t an alcoholic and using your foreign accent to maximum advantage.
It’s a tiny country covered in hostile terrain and full of tough-as-nails people with universal conscription, and which doesn’t skimp too much on defense spending. I think they’d do all right.
What is interesting is that they have put out this video ONLINE while we were F&%KING CLUELESS to what was happening out there on the show. They could have easily had this on air as the segue between “look at the new lap car” and “Here is the worst Lex Luthor ever and a spokesperson for Ferrari!”
God-DAMN but I loved that series as a little kid.
“Ran when parked?”
