The Austin Allegro (or Allrustin All-agro) was ahead of it's time. It had hydro elastic suspension which gave it an extremely comfortable ride. It rusted badly, that's all.

I agree about the Allegro. Mine died when the inner wings and front subframe collapsed after hitting a kerb at about 10mph. (not looking where I was going) Terminal rust. Still managed to drive it to the scrappie though. Oh, and the boot floor ended up on the drive when I put a suitcase in there. Still, it was very comfy and handled pretty well despite the square steering wheel.

Im not totally certain why but English roads are coated in a certain material which makes cars rust alot faster.

Yep. Salt is put down in the winter, and just eats the cars.

Ah, the quadratic steering wheel, another fine BL invention. They were smoking some good Sh#t in the 70's.

I had a Chevy Vega GT for a couple of months, then the engine went south

[monza gorilla 1]

Didn't they do a Cosworth Vega in the 70s?

If this is a engine problem then its the 2nd Ferrari engine failure for this GP weekend. Not a great reliability record heading into 2007.
