Tescos, Tescos!!
I'm a Sainsbury's man since I moved last year and it looks like at my local the kids have already been skidding around the car park.
This should hold its price + but I may fall in love even more after getting it home so could be a keeper! I have never really given my cars a gender but maybe with this one its already a Dolly!

Eveningg peeps,
I had a brand new dolly ( B398DJN ) excellent vehicle.
It was the only one I ever saw with a BASC sticker in the window ( got a few strange looks when turning up a shoots :-)
From memory, the only problems were that front brake pads didn't last all that long, but were extremely easy to change, and that due to a drain hole on the carb being just above the exhaust manifold................no the flames weren't a paint job!
Its the only car that you could transport an upright freezer in.

Err compared to WHAT exactly froggy
Certainly the "deux cheveaux" was certainly popular with tree huggers as it couldn't go fast enough to kill any animals or insects that got in its way...........

One of the design criteria for the 2CV was that it should be able to be driven across a ploughed field without breaking half a dozen eggs in a basket in the back seat.
Due to the state of UK roads it is now making a come back because of this quality.

The young Turks were secular Ottoman nationalists Chuck. So not big fans of Islamic Fundamentalists either.
