Replying to: fintail (Dec 14, 2007 7:12 pm) Peugeot 504, Peugeot 304, BMC 1100 (I can't determine the make) Right you are, Fin. I was struck by how small the 1100 looks. I've been inside an MG1100 and they're quite roomy inside, one could carry five adults in a pinch.

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 15, 2007 9:36 am) Ford Fiesta. When I looked at other images to "verify" my guess, your photo flopped up as a Fiesta Festival. Back in the heyday of my '82 Tercel, a good friend was having equally good luck with her Fiesta (reliable, fun to drive, etc.). So I'm guessing this one is around an 81 or 82. (Well, reading the fine print I guess this one was no newer than a 1980?).

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 15, 2007 10:04 am) "Reliable" is aword I would not use for a Fiesta Mk1. Replies to this message: steve_ (Dec 15, 2007 1:47 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 15, 2007 2:33 pm) karsick (Dec 15, 2007 2:40 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 15, 2007 10:31 am) Ah, her's was a jewel and she put a lot more miles on her car than I did on my Tercel. Ford has made some 12 million Fiesta now over the last 30 years.

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 15, 2007 10:31 am) I, too, step forward courageously to defend the Fiesta's basic good nature. Replies to this message: karsick (Dec 15, 2007 2:40 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 15, 2007 2:33 pm) Another Former Fiesta owner here. Mine was reliable for the 2 yrs I owned it (other than an incurable, intermittent, mild front-end shake). The impression it gave me was that it was not nearly as substantial & secure feeling as its VW rivals (since I had a MK1 Scirocco at the same time).

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 15, 2007 4:53 pm) I had a remote controlled Audi Quattro car growing up. Though it wasn't a quattro in remote controlled size, it was RWD. It was silver with black stripes. I'm guessing that is a mid '80's Quattro. -Brian

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 14, 2007 6:48 pm) I am inferring they all run Yea right, what would the odd of that be. Pretty cool idea though.
