Shakin its ass? yuk, and as for the Fiat Frog, my mate owns one. You know how back in the early seventies 96 owners would flash their headlights at each other when they passed each other, as in "oh you own one of these ugly ducklings too" Well Multipla owners are doing it today. Somehow I don't think Fix It Again Tony cars will ever quite match our beloved marque. I take your point with the Japanese quip, but lets be honest Rover wouldn't exist without Honda. >> BTW do you find those silly English flags flying from French and German >> built cars irritating? > > As I'm not English and loathe football louts - YES especially so !

Crikey changing gear was like stirring porridge trying to find lumpy bits!! As for French design, oh dear, as long as you don't mind the Gaelic shrug when your Renault won't start I guess you can put up with it. Remember the 80's Renault ad "Renault build a better car" well here in the UK we're still waiting for them to do just that.
