Title: Love the styling....
Post by: cruisetopoland on 01 May 2010, 20:04:47
Now, I have NO shame; I have owned 5 Ladas, 2 yellow Allegros, a Suzuki Wagon R, 7 Peroduas, a talking gold Maestro and I have never drawn a line before, but I was just browsing and I found this work of art:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201016357514702/sort/priceasc/usedcars/make/daihatsu/postcode/hr68lh/page/5/radius/1500?logcode=p

After taking in the magnificence of the two tone standard paint scheme and matching trim, the 800cc auto powerhouse and the "daring" design, note the "special" styling tweaks;

1/ Homemade daytime running LED lights-the AA battery kind designed for the understairs cupboards, 12 of; the ones you have to press the centre of to turn on or off-all 12 of them.  Convenient.

2/ Homemade reversing lights, as above, 4 of.  Safe.

3/ The Sport badges front and back (0.8 auto).  Ahem.

4/ The homemade roofrack with chrome towel rail embellishments, motorhome ladder and spotlights in a Matra Rancho stylee, with a worrying amount of straw.  Scary.

5/ The use of chrome trim strip around the bumper edges, rear lights, radiatior grill.  Stylish.

6/ The 4 bumper corner protectors (or used Always Ultra Elephant flow) for some reason on the front door panels.  Obtuse.

7/ The screwed in dog guard to separate the luggage compartment or keep the victims in the cabin.  Very scary.

When I read the line about carrying a shed pack on the roof it is fitted and do not come off, it rather summed it up-the shed base is still there with towel rails attached.

The line is drawn  ;D

most cars bellonging the the chimps off the local estate, and the crack dealers from the other end of town, all look dodgey, and look like they have been involved in an RTA with a ripspeed lorry,
but this thing, well, what was on their mind!
