I have a Toyota Yaris. I park the P6 well away from it…
I see you failed to follow the washing instructions too MarkPah, that’s nothing, look what happened to mine View attachment 23831
At 55 I need all the new parts I can get!You were waiting for your chance, love all, new balls please.
I have a double dilemma, both our daily drivers are Saabs. I have no idea what would replace either cars.
… I have one of the last Citroën C5s as a main family car for the last 8 years, and if i ever had to change it…
Here’s my Mini parked next to a P6.
My Mini is the smallest variant…
Considering the world is on fire at the moment - we have to do something. However, running a classic is by far the greenest way of running a car. Manufacturing accounts for between 60-70% of carbon emissions during a car's life span. So keeping old metal running and you win on green credentials as well as fun. I don't subscribe to the whole "enviro-communistic" BS. That's down to stupid legislation from, in the UK, a stupid govt, and here in the US, a genuine problem with lack of education. OK, I think I've upset everyone, I'll get on with me day. LetsThough in these enviro-communistic days, nothing is certain.

talk about cars and not politics.
Exactly my point.15 years or so ago, I remember a Green Party spokesperson commenting on the 1st car scrappage scheme where I expected them to say that it 'was a good idea, but didn't go far enough' (or something similar), but they actually said that it was wrong to imply that cars over 10 years old were life-expired & we should keep them for at least 20 years, because the overall industry energy use would fall by 43%.
They do and I race oneA few years ago a friend who lives in the USA remarked that he'd thought about buying a Mini, but found it so “small” (he appreciated the irony)… I told him to look at the original Minis (if such things exist in the USA!).
