Her name is Madame Fifi. ;D

Stripped naked she weighs barely 1000 kg. She is a flighty piece. ;D

Yes......but a Lancia Dedra is not a suitable replacement for a 1.2 Corsa.

Madame Fifi could be considered a'like for like' substitution. :y

I can justify Madame Fifi......ish. ;)

Did they still make them in 1979?.... ;D ;D ;D

I'm not convinced the Model T was 'frog built' either. :D ;)

I told the truth. The clit is virtually identical in size and weight to her 1.2 Corsa. Both weigh 1000 Kg.

Opti said 53 plate in the very first post (STEMOS glasses have obviously steamed up), it didn't take a genius to work out what was small, French and quick in 2003 ;)

STMO is an elderly 'Daewooist'.

Yep.....and as Ian says the 1.9 litre version went well for only 130 BHP. Sub 900 KG, I believe. :y
