    I still want one. Frankly, it's the only pedal vehicle I'd be seen dead
    on. In. Whatever.

    (And yes, it's 2021 and I'm sharing links on Usenet. More people have
    probably watched that video in the last four hours than have read this
    group in the last four years. Six Transits, glorious Mondeo.)

    People still read USENET if they know about it, that is ;)

    I knew this would be the HubNut video as soon as I saw the thread. I've been watching him and his collection of chod for a few years now.

    This is someone whose latest acquisition is a Citroen C5, who's owned a 2CV for well over 20 years (it wasn't his first, either) and has restored a Thundersley Invacar to working order, also has a Yugo Sana and a fire-damaged Oltcit lurking in the back
    of the garage, and has also previously owned a Skoda Felicia and Perodua Nippa. So I wasn't at all surprised what he thought of the Sinclair C5. He even nailed the biggest problem with it - no matter how much Sir Clive called it a "car", it never was,
    and its natural home was in the cycle lanes we still don't have many of in the UK.

    As for "Six Transits, glorious Mondeo", as long as the Mondeo is pov spec, it'll keep hubNut happy. Except that, like his new (19 year old) C5, it has a Triangle Of Doom. And you don't want that!

    Bad times indeed.
