    yeah, but look at your vehicular history - you've got no taste or
    shame.

    Having said that, I once owned a Citroen AX 1.0 "Jive".

    I had the "début", a sub-base model which had absolutely no features
    whatsoever. It could do London SW13 to Nottingham in under 2 hours though

    They were claiming the rear wiper as a feature when I had a 1.0 Debut.

    the "Jive" was slightly better than the "début", insofar as it had
    "racing stripes" and "special cloth" (dark blue with pastel "Jive"
    men) and even had a radio cassette.

    Wow!

  15. It could have been worse - when I met Cheryl she has a Ford
    Fiesta Popular..

    No heated rear screen, no parcel tray, no radio, no headrests.

    The only equipment it *did* have was the legally mandated stuff
    like wipers and indicators.

    But it did have a nice stripe down the side to show how cool it was!

    Wasn't it supposed to be an R75? Although the sidepanels look a bit
    R45ish.

  20. R75, according to the text. R75 series rocker covers, certainly.
