0-60 was 3.2s if I remember right, that was just for the rust to start and be terminal lol

Nope and nope. The Thema had a galvanised shell and didn't rust the same way as the older lancias. It was a shared platform with the Saab 9000 too.
0-60 was about twice that time.

Murano had a transverse v6 and was a nightmare to do anything on.

One of 2 ever made Jaguar X300 XJ V12 Manuals was on ebay a few years ago. Modified a bit, side exit exhaust etc. But one of 2 factory manuals ever made. It was cheap too, always regret not buying it. (There was 102 V8's in Manual, but only 2 V12s)

The Subaru Impreza Cabriolet Operetta, first shown at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. Based on the short-lived Impreza Retna 2-door body (which was later reappropriated for the Impreza WRX Type R STi Version), this 5-seat convertible featured an electrically operated roof with integral rollbar.

An Astra saloon it looks like a small insignia spotted one on southern plates.

Would see those in the south and mainland Europe often enough. Badged as Opel, hence never came to UK......i think.

I have spotted one of these several times, silver, older fella owns it, and they must be restricted by Nissan to not breach 38mph, as that’s his limit, no matter where he is.

I’ve seen the tildas before and older Astra saloons too but not that shape. Down south always seem to love a saloon.

They really love a saloon down south, Corolla's, Megane's and Tilda's especially!

When you are behind them in a car you can see the rear diff hanging down like it's not supposed to be there!
