I like the HB's coke-bottle hips, but I like the HC front end and bonnetbut there's no way to combine them, practically. You have to get a Mk I or II Capri to achieve the same effect.

OOF! <3Capris, nom. My dad had a mk3 2.8i special, its idle burble was supreme.
With older cars, I think I prefer the curvier models generally, I'm also a fan of old 60s/70s MGs, metal bumper Midgets and BGTs are loooooovely

I'm uninspired by 60s stuff70s is where it got interesting, all those sharp lines and angles.

I have nothing against straight line carsI do own a box on wheels, after all! XD .... I'd like to stick a bigger engine in it if I get the chance, the standard 1.9GTi engine in the 309 is barely any faster than the 1.6 GTi engine in a 205 which the other half has. I can't be slower than him!!
If money weren't an issue, I'd be all over the late 60s/70s sexy curvy cars. It's what I grew up with, the rents had alot of curvy classics between them.
The o/h prefers late 70s/80s boxes, his parents are 10 years younger then mine so I guess it's the generation gap ^_^

I'm sorrybut you own a pair of Peugeots. All vehicular opinions you hold are invalid.

We've got 3 actually *hides*There's a 106 diesel dumped out the back for either of us to use if one of the cars needs fixing, or we run out of petrol!
Tis quite the puglet showroom outside our house. The 205 and 309 surprise people though, especially mine as it looks like an old man's car but it doesn't drive like an old man's car :D
