Yes. My 2004 VW Polo. 1.4, two door. People either just pull out and try to bully me or are scared of damaging their huge expensive car and back off. I am not a boy racer and try to drive courteously. It’s sometimes hard to do this in London.

No rust. No mechanical or electric issues. Just that awful suspension. I was commuting 50 miles to and fro London to Milton Keynes everyday and I would wake up every few weeks to find it had slumped over on one side or the other when a hydrolastic unit or the bracket had failed overnight. Nightmare.

We had the same Princess, “Sandglow” with the brown vinyl c-pillars! My dad bought it new in 1976 and we drove to Greece on holiday with it. I bought it off him in 1985. Had to sell it in 1990 because the suspension problems cost me more than my monthly salary to put right.

I had two. Great for the twins’ pushchairs and other paraphernalia but basically a Mini Countryman in lederhosen. My wife loved them though

I’m not sure what the handle is made of but, in my experience as a former E36 owner, whatever breaks, usually plastic, replace with quality aftermarket metal parts. Mechanical, trim or whatever. BMW made it bigger than the E30 and had to save weight EVERYWHERE….

Have to let you know that today, after dropping off my kids at their Greek school, I passed a 4 door E36 in the same colour as yours, driven by a young man in sunglasses who looked very much like you. This was on a sunny Totteridge Lane in (very) North London. I think it was a glitch in the Matrix.

Similar story. Also a Washing machine. TWO young guys couldn’t get the old one out and wanted to leave me with both. I told them to go away with the new one and then pulled out the old one myself and reordered from another company. I’m 60yrs old, male, with a slipped disc. Pathetic. TWO of them!!

Amadeus. Italians spoke with Italian accents Germans spoke with English accents. Austrians spoke with Americans accents. It worked. Today, Greeks speak with different accents depending on which part of mainland Greece or which island they are from. I have no problem with the accents in films.

I’ve got one. 2004 Sapphire black metallic with black leather seats and black headliner. 100% London drug dealer spec 😁 Get a low mileage one and it will be OK. The 3 litre engine is fast enough.Fuel consumption and sports suspension are terrible, but it is A lot of fun. My first SUV ever…

The Bank in Enfield is my actual branch. They are so proud of this, they even have a blue plaque (for historical buildings) above where the ATM used to be. At least it’s still open as a Barclay Bank 👍

I saw that when it was first broadcast. it’s a hilarious and interesting look back. I’ve pretty much always driven 20 to 4o year old cars. I had 1970s BMWs in the 90s when my colleagues had newish 3 series. They thought I was only pretending to like old cars. I am just a different type of bellend.😂

Having had a 1950s Ford, all the monthly greasing and maintenance makes me say… nothing before 1961 (unless it’s a Mini)

Chrome grille and round rear lights say early one, but the side rubbing strips say you are right. Post 1971 but pre 1974. Verona Red it looks like, same as mine.
