i remember being ferried around in the back of the old merc 250d in the rearmost seats, we thought going backwards was fanstastic, and you could wave at the people behind you. As a child getting in and out of the boot was ok especially as the mercedes had a button to open the boot and it lifted itself, but an adult or me now would just bang my head on the roof.

One thing though is that if you mounted lcd screens on the bootlid they at least would serve a purpose unlike the ones on pimp my ride who put lcd monitors on the inside of the bootlid on a saloon.

All the 21 Savanna (or Nevada) 7 seaters I saw had them all facing the front. The Laguna had rear facing seats in some of them.

From http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/re ... ction=good :
Option of seven forward-facing seats with reasonable luggage space behind. Diesels are economical, but diesel range was complicated: 67 bhp 2,068cc non-turbo from Jan-Sept 1989; 65 bhp 1,870cc non-turbo from Sept '89-Oct 95; 88 bhp 2,068cc turbo from Jan '89-Oct '90 and then again from Nov '93-Oct '95.

Definitely rear facing. A 1988 car. Either the spec for that year, or unofficial seats out of something like a 505.

All other pictures of a 21 Savanna / Nevada "7 places" have forward facing seats. But I know they were rear facing, back to back rear seats, climbing in and out of the boot and facing the rear window!

Is this a prototype 21? http://imageshack.us/photos/Renault/231 ... e1ei6.jpg/

Yep sold the 21 out there, I think as the Medallion?

BL had wanted them to partner with them, but at the time they wanted to sell the Renault 9 as a Triumph, but wouldn't let Renault sell it in the UK (as they did for the Honda Ballade mk1)

Not quite a car, but this ad probably works best if you read it in a Belfast accent :D

i dont mind the bannana its ok, but id prefer discopols old sig that was a distraction.

A dell TAR, thats definatley an antrim way to pronounce tower, sort of like the way some parts around here say Wan instead of One. But its not a bad deal though
here is more unusual spelling, but even in armagh we dont pronounce it like this:

I believe the correct spelling for that is KDF-wagen?

And you lot - leave my moving banana alone!
