DodgyRog Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 As the title says, it was the car I passed my test in and still to this day my favorite car I have owned (you only remember the good bits though;)) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201051375795461/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/make/talbot/postcode/ex84hy/page/1/radius/1500?logcode=p video clips post 8 and 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Are they taking the piss with that price? Maybe a sticky key pressed twice? Are you taking the piss in fact?! You own a Supra and yet a Talbot is your favourite car?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You own a Supra and yet a Talbot is your favourite car?! It's a very rare car I knew someone would slate me for this, but it had the 2.2 Lotus engine and weighed nothing, short wheel base with limited slip diff and 0-60 in around 7 secs, which was tasty for it's time. It used to kill the Golf GTi boys and was a joy to drive and throw around the lanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh dear, i thought some of my car history was bad but now i feel its pretty good lmao The Lotus Sunbeam was a cool car but not in the starsky and hutch racing colours Were you a Marlboro man ?

DodgyRog Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 There are a lot of people that will slate this car, but it won the World Rally Championship in 1981 and was an awesome drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Top Gear clip from a young Clarkson Mine had been converted to Twin Webbers, which resulted in a more reliable car (well a bit more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 And a Rally clip, how it used to be done before Turbo's and 4 wheel drive and they liked sideways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yQOmQIm0xU&feature=related and before it was called drifting I rest my case:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was young and I had a meeting with a tree sideways, so had to have it resprayed and back then Marlboro racing was in, so there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 When I think back over all the cars I've owned, I don't think I would go back and re visit any of them. Funny enough the next car on my shopping list (a little something for the wife) is 10-12k but that's an Audi RS6 Avant plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Used to love the Lotus Sunbeam, cracking car in it's day, I don't think they were famed for reliability, but I used to think they were pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
