If UKIPers get their way, that's the kind of car we'll all be driving.

Er no.
UKIP encourages trade with Europe - we just don't want political ties with Europe.

Just been to that site. God, they've designed some complete munters.
If I was a car boss wouldn't let them anywhere near ...

The Alfasud Sprint and the Maserati 4200 aren't bad though; perhaps they only do decent work for Italian firms and try to sabotage the rest of the world. The Zhongua Brilliance is one of their less glorious creations.

you are of course joking no?

Interestingly, Italdesign choose not to feature the Morris Ital in a prominent position on their website. I wonder why.

I very almost met an untimely end in an orange Morris Marina when it skidded sideways into a tree. Bloody thing snapped in half just behind the passenger seat I was in.
Luckily there was no body in the back.

The Avon and Somerset police used to use the evidence photos of the crash to 'educate' youngsters about driving safely.

Phew that was lucky, what did you do with it?
Talk about getting away with murder.

This is a very disappointing punchline. 1/10 must do better.

I agree.

I don't know either, it wasn't me that said it.

I don't know, why DO UKIP want everyone to drive 30-year-old second hand cars?

Was it an 'Ital' ?

Giugiaro designed the alfa 159 which I currently drive...

not sure if it is a good or bad thing although they have designed many quality motors in the past so the Ital was probably just a blip!

I know - Cause of death - Poor taste in motor vehicles.

On the bright side, apart from my broken ribs, puntured lung and severe cuts from the exploding glass, my flailing arm broke the drivers nose and smashed all his front teeth out.

Perhaps just about worth it to destroy a Marina. Do you do Toyota Aygos too?

Was it the colour that BL termed "Flame"?

Untimely indeed; you wouldn't want to be seen dead in that.

I think the Allegro was the replacement for the 1100/1300.

The Marina was a Morris 1000 parts bin design.

They were going to release the 1800cc version whilst still using the lever arm dampers off the Moggie 1000 until the press stopped them because the handling was so appalling.

My Healey Sprite had those Armstrong lever jobbies..and that was the best handling car I've ever owned ( but recklessness of yoof may also have something to do with it)
