No, they are crazy money aren't they? I love the concept, too. I think what planted the seed was seeing a bit about a Wood & Pickett Mini on Blue Peter when I was a kid.

This whole series is bringing back memories of walking past a metallic blue one on the way to school every morning & thinking to myself, "Ooh, there's a me-sized car!" 😁

That window line looks almost 911-ish but that's so not HubNut! The trim fabric looks Ford-esque though....

This makes me smile. I'm not personally able to get an EV (only 6 chargers in the whole town and I live in a rented flat) but my brother has one & loves it.
I could do a hybrid for commuting though, and save my petrol for some weekend backlanes fun.

As far as I remember they had the 60/40 split seats from day one on all but the cheap models. If it had the flush glass headlights, it had the split bench. If it had the LUB434 sealed beams, it had a one piece backrest.
Mind, I was just a hyper nerdy 10 yr old when it launched, so...

We got there about 0930h and we're there 'til about 1600. My Good Lady's first day watching live racing and to my surprise, she loved it!
Quarry was pretty packed today, wasn't it? Must remember to bring a chair & some shade next time! 😁

Ah that'll be why. We stayed at Quarry end for most of the day. We did briefly pop to the paddock in the morning but slope back up to the corner is decidedly wheelchair-unfriendly! 🤷
And yes mate. We're in RWB. Are you local then?

The only thing I remember about the Golf Country is it being featured heavily in a terrible "action" movie, incongruously starring Roger Moore.....

Decisions like this from Honda (and also things like the Element & the Beat) are why we lost the plant in Swindon. When asked why they never brought anything interesting to Europe, Honda's reply was, "We already sell enough great cars here"!
It was like BL all over again! 🤦

I'm growing to love Volvos but also, growing up as I did on two wheels, I still internally recoil in fear a tiny bit whenever I see one in the road.
In the Eighties, Volvo drivers practically invented the #SMIDSY phrase 😢
