I knew it would be a 6R4 before I opened the link still its a lot of money for an austin metro, would rather have something with the horsey emblem on it for that amount of pennies

Thats as much as metro as jenna jamerson is a house wife.

6r4's sound mint and go like a rabbit shot out of a canon.

(btw i don't condone shooting rabbits out of canons, people on the other hand, are A-OKAY.)

Nice, this brings me back. the Question is , does any one on here used to work at Longbridge,
when these were being built ?
I no i am sad, but i did,
They never used to leve these out side at night they where all locked up, in a work shop were they where hand built,
in the day time they were all lined up out side,
but locked up, ther was no more than a bout four at a time,
some of them was trimed up for road use,
a couple of big wigs in the offices had these for company cars, how nice.
all the other car built there were left with the keys in at all times,
i think they knew that a lot of employes would of been doing rally driving around the plant,if they would of left these unlocked,
just think the last few painted shells met a grim death, because they stopped building them they were crushed by the forkes on a fork lift truck and threw in to a scrap skip,
tell you whot thow they sounded the dogggg's thow,
