A second class ride...

...Is better than a first class walk.

What would you draw the line at?

Would you sooner walk or have a ride in the motor you hate the most?

Depends on how much of a hurry I am in. having said that if I was in a serious hurry I would not use a french car as you will ultimately end up walking at some point.

did a 26 mile walkathon back in may and i ended up exactly where i started so it did'nt benefit me at all moral of the story never refuse a lift as missing toe nails and blisters may ensue

profusley innacurate.

having had as many french cars as other countries makes, and they were no less reliable as any others.

maybe, as has been said time and again on these forums, it was your selection process.

i also dont have a car i dont like, just the person that drives them, and that would probably be enough to walk, tbh.

I work on cars day in day out and trust me French cars are the most unrelialbe by a country mile.

I once had a Fiat Multipla and my son and his pals used to slide down or bend over so they couldn't be seen in it, they were that embarrassed by how it looked ..... didn't ever occur to them to walk though.

Have to admit though, it was the ugliest car I ever owned.

Better to walk than have a second class anything.

Bought a plastic pig a bit back for a bit of fun, heard all the jests, gone along with them all, but after giving a few mates a lift in it they refuse to go near it now, seems its a lot faster than they thought it would be!

They are surprising stable, you can really throw them around. Great fun if the passenger hasn't been in one before!

Yes, a 3 litre Capri or Scimitar would be just right for that.

Wonderful motors.
