I love the classic yank fake style with all the mod cons and reliability
and not sticky throttle in sight.

Only car I've ever had a throttle stick open on was an E-type Jag. The
mechanism included a bell crank which went over centre and stuck when I
floored it. In second gear...


I was thinking of that minor recall affecting 1 or 2 toyotas in a small
geographical area currently on going.

Oh indeed. That hasn't escaped even me. ;-) Although I do wonder just how
serious a problem it is. When you get people saying you can't switch off
the ignition without the steering locking. To my mind anyone that stupid
shouldn't be allowed to drive.

The wheels I'm not sure about, non original as they are, but if the air
suspension can be dropped with an add on, they might suit.

I heard on the news about the Aygo family recalls and assumed our C1 would
need to go in. But on reading up about it it's only cars with ESP that are
affected. Why the feck would you need ESP in a 69bhp 3 cylinder tin can???

One type of ESP might be needed to know if you're going to make the
journey intact?

Missed that bit, was drooling over the rest. Nothing that a set of JDM
VIP rims wouldn't sort.

Is it easy to spin/tip?

I blame the A-Class.
