What’s your perfect car then Dan?..Cortina mk 3 GT. with a Vaux Firenza body :smiley:

I had it the perfect car A4 V6 Quattro s line then a tractor backed in to it ,after that a landrover did too so I have the S3 2.0l petrol now ,Audi btw :open_mouth:

A real Firenza.

The flaw in any ‘perfect’ truck design is the need to provide accommodation for a driver. Once ‘driverless technology’ has been perfected, only then will the perfect truck emerge.

Yes I can’t wait to get on and remain on benefits for the rest of my active life, thanks for reminding me. No more sleepless nights and risking my life / ■■■■■■■ up my health - stay home, play on PC and watch adult entertainment all day - all financed by the increased taxes paid by my ex-employer who’s now making huge profits thanks to no driver payroll.

Put it on the road tomorrow.
Mansel Davies will get someone to sign off the maintenance book, and away you go!

Obviously as a subby they wouldn’t be responsible for my O licence so it’s a win win.I’d have left all the snakes living in it.Picture the scene when DVSA try an inspection having been pulled for over length at 25.5 metres. :smiling_imp: :laughing:

Don’t even really have a favourite make of trucks let alone things like gearboxes or engines. No such thing as a bad truck these days as there once was so I’m happy enough trundling sound in anything

Remind me how is this supposedly a good thing for ‘drivers’.

biggriffin:
A real Firenza.

Or at least it would have been if the ze Kamaraden had allowed GM to make it 6 cylinders not 4.Opel let alone BMW would never have allowed it.

Or spend all that free benefits cash on fast cars which they now won’t allow anyone to drive. :laughing:

The Firenza in the picture has a V8 in, Opel had nothing to do with DTV, Ventora had a straight6, or the slant4, or an evolution was the 2.3 twin cam, later the 2.6… Also fitted in HS/HSR chevvette, o and used in Sunbeams, and by Lotus.

Google fast hurrys away to check,then comes back with pages of waffle.

Remind me who was the parent of both Opel and Vauxhall and what does the V mean in DTV.
If it’s got a V8 in it then it ain’t a ‘proper’ Firenza.It’s a Big Bertha Bitsa special which I knew all about in the day before the internet existed.

I know the Ventora had the same pushrod 6 in it as the Cresta before it.

It’s the fact that there was never a 3.4 OHC, let alone twin cam 6, based on the 2.3 4 pot, made for the production and homologated Firenzas which was my point.Much too many implications for ze Fatherland in that. :bulb:

ChrisArbon:
The perfect truck is very much like the perfect woman. It is not so much how old it is, what it looks like or how it performs. It is how much money it can earn for you that is important.

Hope you dont mind me asking . . . are you a pimp ? :neutral_face:

What’s so special about this truck? It sure looks…interesting and I’ve always wanted to drive one but never had (and most likely never will) the chance. I saw one deliver to our yard the other day I was so tempted to ask the driver to let me try it :blush: Is it the ride quality or the interior or what?

Carryfast:
which I knew all about…

I’ve a sneaking suspicion there isn’t a subject on earth you don’t claim this about to be fair.
