When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Lotus are very unreliable anyway...then you go and combine it with a Citroen...can only spell disaster!

They did do that Skoda thing on top gear! I wonder if they would do a Daff 44?

Do you mean the Lada Riva with a Fiat Twin Cam in it? It was up for auction on Ebay about a year back.

What a great Q-car that would be!
Imagine the faces of the drivers after you have left them at the lights!
Brilliant!

I always fancied putting a V8 mid-mounted in a minivan as a Q-car.
Ah well back to reality!

I remember reading about that car/van ages ago and thinking then that it could be a lot of fun.

I guess the reason why would have to be.... because he could.
