Panda in McDonalds Ad

[EmSpem]

Yup saw this ad t'other day thought it was cool - yup it defo is M reg it would prob b one of the last ones registered cos they didn't stop doing them till after the first cinqs came out on L (actually I'm sure I've seen a K reg cinq but that could have been a dream)! oh well mayb they stopped doing them wen the first cinqy sportings came out and that would make it right to be an M

You could buy a new old Panda in Italy until this year believe it or not.

actually I'm sure I've seen a K reg cinq but that could have been a dream!

Not dreaming, there are a few K reg 899's knocking about.

I read that Uno's and Pandas are still on sale in places far and wide like Brazil, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Argentina. Meanwhile in China you can still buy Morris Minors!

 

[Alex]

Hmmm I never saw a morris minor in china... shed loads of VWs though. They still make the mk1 beetle in Brazil, and you can get 'em well cheap... so I hear. Someone near where I live has a 51 reg beetle from brazil.

Hmm having looked it up I can't find any Morris Minors in China, but you can get a Morris Oxford (First Produced 1948) in India! (Sold as a Hindustan Ambassador) Amazing!

A recent issue of Practical Classics showed some of the old cars that they still make new in the third world. I must dig it out.

 

[Dr_Pepper]

I'd be interested.

 

[Scorg]

china is interesting, its where all the old BL/ARG production lines went, so you can still get Moris marina/Itel's, Meastro's and montego's

 

[MikeWhitcombe]

Ital's, Maestro's and Montego's what?

 

[EmSpem]

Not dreaming, there are a few K reg 899's knocking about.

Knew I wasn't dreaming really - just said it in case someone tried to disagree with me - u know me I don't like conflict

 

[Scorg]

Ital's, Maestro's and Montego's what?

are still being made

 

[MikeWhitcombe]

Ital's, Maestro's and Montego's what are still being made???

Mr Pedantic

 

[MikeWhitcombe]

Mr. Pedantic, and not really - it does my head in when people can't get it right... it's not difficult - and besides, everyone has their pet hates, you included.

 

[Steven]

In that case can you correct the error in your signature?

This Is Cinqmeister's Signature.
He doesn't know how to use the new forum yet,
So it isn't very interesting :'(

 

[MikeWhitcombe]

Where's the error? Or are you referring to the emoticon?

 

[The Negotiator]

Mr. Pedantic, and not really

Point proven If we get into the details of it Mr Name is an allowed method of addressing somebody with written text, just like starting a new line with a line space is allowed for text these days.

 

[MikeWhitcombe]

How do I know you were addressing me? Plus that's not really irritating because it doesn't alter the meaning in any way.

 

[The Negotiator]

Ending a paragraph with a comma OR carrying on with a capital letter, whichever way you look at it is an error. If you want to urge perfectionism with written text you first must master it.
