Ah.. well.. now, when you have your horse warmed up, you can "strut" about -*groan*- and show off your paces. Then when the hunt gets underway, both of you will naturally "brace" yourselves -*double groan*- before each jump...

There is a short video in existence of me hunting with the Clares near Ballynacally last December. Fortunately, this has not ended up on the Net. Also, the post-hunt drinking and singing was something which the local Garda would have been interested in...

It's not a Christmas card. It's a view of an Irish hunt (the Clares) in progress.... courtesy of my good friends at the Clare Equestrian Centre, Ennis, Co. Clare!

Answer is.........


PEUGEOT 205!

Still in production in a far flung Pug factory somewhere. It marked the end of Peugeot as a manufacturer of really good solid cars (i.e the fabulous old 504) and as maker of sh*te bought by fog light obsessed w**kers.

Wouldn't surprise me if they're all running about in Nissans nowadays.

My money's on either the Uno, the Shogun or (gulp!) the Maestro....

There was some sort of deal with the Bulgarians whereby the entire assembly line for the Maestro and Montego would be shipped out to them. What on earth happened to that?

There's no such thing as a rust free 6 Series! Karmann invented rust and then sold the patents to the Italians.... I had a Cortina 1600GT in 1984, a 1970 on a J, last of the Mark 2's. RUST!!!!!!!!!
It's also the 21st birthday of:

Austin Maestro
Mercedes Benz 190
Mitsubishi Shogun
Renault 11
Vauxhall Nova
Fiat Uno
Peugeot 205
Alfa 33
Nissan Micra
Citroen BX

....and the M635CSi

Some landmark cars there...............but which one is still in production in it's original form?
