R19 cabbys look crap with the roofs up - which it will be for 355 days of the year. It'll leak and the rear windows will mist up and if you roll it theres no anti roll bar, so you'll be deed!

Bev's cabby is nice aye, those chrome alloys would have to go, get a nice set of Ph2's on there the way the Renault gods intended. Chromed if need be!

cabby's are great, if you look after the roof and window they don't leak or mist. and i have the roof down through out the year great feeling ragging or just cruising without a roof over you
The dying if you roll it is a bit of a downer though, oh well!

Tell me about it

Sucks so much power I try not to turn it on.

Nice in traffic jams though. Or on the motor-way. + Fuel

Get the wife in the car you have to run it.

Its been changed over from R12 gas to the new stuff, not designed for it.

Wifes 206 20l 16v has a lot more torque low down, better with the AC.

Really need a V8.

Thats why the windscreen is strengthened to take the impact of a roll,

Enough of all this cabby dissing guys, my poor car will be getting a complex,
