I used to own one years ago. I have no desire to ever own another. If that was free I still wouldnt want it.

It should be tethered under the sea as a mooring until it rusts away.

all seats fold down to make one big (sort of) flat bed, great for crashing out in after a party, mine used to top 100MPH in 4th then still had fifth to go. A lot of cars back then had trouble getting anywhere near Landcrabbis Vulgarus

Thats almost an improvement.Who would do all that work to create something that stupid!Back to the Maxi - bet it handles really well with those wheels, from memory the offset on the steels is huge and thoses alis wont be anywhere near what it needs to keep thge alignment right.i had a maxi years ago, it ate clutch plates about once a month, would fracture the steel centre.Anyone got any idea why that would happen! as I never worked it out.Lucky they were cheep are easy to change.

youve obviously never owned one or youd know, a mate at the time was proud as when he bought his first V8 (253 Holdunga, we were young lol) & was pi55ed off when he couldnt keep up with Crabby

I learned to drive in the Morris 1800 variant. The old man had some interesting cars, Peugots, Fiats plus Valiants Holdens and Falcons. The crabs were huge inside, and went ok from memory, I do recall the steering collapsing once though and the old man ending up in someones front yard.
I like the flamed crab, but I had a flamed Minor panel van once so may be biased.
