    On the subject of horrible cars, must be a non turbo diesel, car vans and such also applicable.

    Imagine the noise off of it though, that would be even cooler than the carina. Could you just picture it now, a felt spec Charade!

    May well be interested in the E36 but it will come down to insurance groups!

    Either way, it will be cheap and dented and scraped and enjoyed.

    Well know to crack their cylinder head those. Their was a 1.0 non turbo version as well which also gave cylinder head issues but was less prone to it than the turbo version.

    other than that though they are great cars that are extremely easy on fuel. They were ahead of their time really where small diesels are concerned, bringing out a 1.0 at a time where most other manufacturers were 1.6- 2.0

    those charades also had fully independent suspension all around which is rare for a car in its class and made it feel more planted to the road than many other superminis at the time

    My granddad had one of those Charades in non-turbo form when I was little. It was white jap import with a brown dash and interior. I remember it had go faster holes in the sills when he got rid of it :eek::p

    That's actually good bangernomics tbh.


    They were both serious suggestions :). Well the lanos was taking the piss a bit. Plenty of small engine bangers out there with a few months NCT for a few hundred quid. Tax them for three months and drive it until the man takes of you :pac:. Could be years if you keep it in roadworthy condition. You'd get away with murder in that carina.

    hey, sorry for going ot but didn't know where else to ask. can anyone tell me how to post more than one pic per post. I have an imgur account and figured out that I had to copy the url and paste it in the insert image bar, but if I try putting 2 url's in, only the last one will show up. i'm confused!

    Ignore the 'insert image' bar and post it into the comment box directly.

    Then add IMG tags either side. So before the URL you put [I*MG] and after it put [/I*MG] and it will display as an image (you have to do this for each URL/image separately).


    (take out the *'s)





    Unrelatedly, I missed it:

    thanks for that Jeremias Black Guava, got it working. do you have to type the tags in manually each time or is there a button that puts them up for you, like the [html] tags button? sorry, only getting the hang of this. unrelated, my old transit connect odometer, onlt 3 years and 1 month old when this was taken.p6ES2PB.jpg?1
