The other day I saw reversing sensors on some small Toyota - Yaris or something I think it was.

I mean, if they need parking sensors on a car that small, then are they sufficiently skilled as a driver? :shock: :shock:

I think they're ugly things, awaiting the day they're pinhole sized

You could try our 406.oc reversing cam mod.

Where did that guy go anyway? :?

I've just gone back to page 1 of this topic, it's great :)

I hated reversing the saloon and I hate reversing my coupe. with such a large distance between the rear windscreen and the boot that you can't see, it's very difficult to know how close you are to stuff.

My estate on the other hand I would park within an inch of a wall every single weekday without ever hitting it.

I wouldn't mind getting an oem spoiler for my coupe for this very reason - it gives you a MUCH better idea of where your arse is, and that allowed me to park my old Laguna with the precision I can't do with my 406 now

You've got me wrong, they can be justified in a car the size of a 406 or Laguna.

But on a Toyota Yaris or Aygo or whatever it was.... :shock:

Indeed I did get you wrong :oops:

You need shooting if you need them on one of those!

Thought it was going to be a very last GTI Hurricane. My neighbours years ago were BX fans i remember him having 3 GTI's with the last one being a Green K plate Hurricane 8)

Sadly it's a TXD, whatever that is.

My last 16 valve was a K reg :( If you want more BX pics there's loads still floating around here, all either dragging on the ground or click click clicking 'cos the accumulator spheres are knackered :roll:

what suprises me though is that this delta is rotten, but my cousin also has an empty shell of one sitting out exposed to the weather for the last 5 years with the b pillar cut out and its still solid, then there is an intergrale its imaculate, but here is a few pictures from the same place, theres plenty of cars just rotting away:
Here is an old bluebird, it was actually my grampas old car and somehow it ended here its got its own garden on the seat:

The whole bunch:

The maestro, amazingly it has all the problems i read in an old what car review:
