So, after the Fiesta and the ■■■■■■, will Ford produce the Razzle? :smiley:

:smiley: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

European car of the year 1979 this must be in anyone’s list of 10 worst cars in history I drove several of them. Sounded like a Lancashire cotton mill.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Car_of_the_Year. You have to look at the badge to see who makes the things nowadays, some of them were awful but least they looked different to one another.

I’ve heard that Ford will be making a ‘new’ car called the ‘Pubic’…gonna be made from old Corsairs :laughing: or that originally, the VW Golf was gonna be called ‘Cliterous’…cuz every ■■■■■ got one :laughing:

Wait until i get onto the japanese. anyone drive a cherry?

Hmm Toyota Toyolette maybe?!

(as a non-truckie aside, I just researched a small unknown yacht that turned out to be called an Assol. It’s a Russian girls’ name (like Lada is) but anyway, I don’t suppose they sold many in the west :wink: )

How about the Misubishi Starion, it was meant to be called the Stallion, but somebody in the marketing department in America (where else :open_mouth: ) misunderstand the Japanese bloke telling him the name over the phone :laughing:

If you drove one and it sounded like a Lancashire cotton mill why drive several .

I can see them now an eight legger called an Octopus, or a Renault called a Fuego because it should have been set on fire :stuck_out_tongue:

But for me it is the exotica that catches my attention, especially the Italian stuff

Biposto sounds ■■■■ when you realise you can carry a gorgeous raven haired on the pillion.

Monoposto conjures up images of a Ducati 916 single seater with desmoquattro or desmodromic engine, which is still the most beautiful motorcycle in the world.

Quattroporte Automatica also sounds too ■■■■ for a four door automatic.

But my favourite wrong name has to be the Wan-kel engined Anadol or Otosan which sounds like something you get from the chemist.

How about the Marina ? it was about the best place for one :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
