breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I have seen one of those canvas cars before. I can't remember where but did think to myself "that is the ugliest thing I have ever seen". On the plus side bodywork must be cheap to fix ;)

I work with a bloke that has a 525ix estate on a "K" plate which is 4x4 so the 325ix probably is too.
Surely the R5 must be a bloke with a grinder rather than an official Renault product.
