Fiat panda cross with a few mods. The standard car even comes with a diff lock and does 50+ mpg

Mad but I think the same, I'd love one.

Not sad at all. These are awesome little cars, supposedly good off road too. They are pretty small up close though. I'd quite like one myself, with a 100HP too!

I don't fit If the seat's far enough back the B-pillar is uncomfortable against my shoulder. (I want one too..)

In my younger days, the Fierce Panda (with its deck chair seats) was the ubiquitous Spanish rental car; many's the time I've dented my way around the streets during the early hours.

But my - look how the little hire car hath grown!

And - it appears to be a van (?) and I can get the VAT back on it AND standard RFL applies to vans.

I need a van ..... I always need a van..........

The position of that rollcage would make me think twice about doing anything interesting in it without a helmet!

I guess its got harnesses, and maybe the angle makes it look worse than it is, but still!

Gravelben - I see your point but there's so little weight on the cage; I reckon it'd roll and roll and roll all day long.

On the other hand - I prefer sweet, black seedless grapes or, if worst comes to worst, all "in memorium" donations to ARAS Dog Rescue.

Surely - hundreds of Spaniards & Italians can't be wrong..... can they?

[GravelBen]

Its not the strength of the cage I'd be worried about, just the likelihood of cracking your head on it without a helmet!

Hey - look on the bright side - at least it's not made in China and has passed european crash tests..... well, I'm guessing here.......but I still want one!
