Great news
Was just thinking earlier you never see those awful daihatsu/hyundai tall narrow granny wagons any more. Used to see loads about doing 15mph. I always thought they looked like they would fall over if you even thought about steering hard.

Just saw a young fella driving a 1.9 205 GTI round tesco car park. Was a genuine one not a derv rep. It's been a while since I saw one of them and I've never seen someone young driving one.

They rusted like mad underneath. Mate of mine used to spray old gear oil in round his every year without fail and he had it from it was nearly new and it still ending up needing welding. He was tortured by farmers to sell it and gave in in the end and got a small fortune for it.

Seen a wee dihatsu fourtrak yesterday.
Used to see them all the time, but hadn’t seen one in ages.
Used to be the farmers weapon of choice up in Mourne back in the day

Funny I seen one somewhere the other day and came in here to post about it.
Maroon one with a short reg. Also had a set of 100+ alloys on it so a real throwback!
Floods of Newtownards spare wheel cover do likely a local one from new which would be rare!
