"Which slovenly Midlander built this?!"

You'll love the "Requiem to Longbridge"!

And be sure to watch Part 2.

Top Gear is great. Just watched an episode this week where the tried to make amphibious vehicles. A toyota pickup with a 225 Yamaha outboard mounted on the tailgate, a volkswagon camper van house boat, and a triumph herald sail boat. The triumph won!

While I am sure it is not to hard to find a "slovenly Midlander" those tests had to have been rigged. No way the Sprint could have passed MOT with brakes so badly out of adjustment. Doors DON'T fall off of cars unless someone played with the bolts to make sure it falls off.
Still quite funny, and I still would like a Dolomite Sprint.
