Re: Your dream marina
One good thing about that car is you won't damage it by running up the back of another car, the down side is your head comes off when you nut the rear bumper!

Re: Your dream marina
I seem to recall that there used to be a Hillman Imp that was the lowest car in the world at one time which was similar to the flatmobile, can't remember what it was called tho

Re: Your dream marina
I quite fancy putting the perkins prima engine (Montego, Maestro etc 2.0TD) into one. Would make a nice, fairly powerful (in a car as light as a Marina), economic daily driver.

Re: Your dream marina
Hi Paul
Nice to see you have come round to my way of thinking. I am not a Trekkie so had to check out your Marina. Nice model, good bodywork, older than me but will make an exception in this instance.

Re: Your dream marina
 
 My dream Marina would probably be a rusty blaze TC saloon with a roof rack, or maybe a Citron yellow coupe with a black vinyl roof.
However, I don't ever plan on selling my current one so really my dream is for that to be tax exempt!
