It a 6 pot Honda. Not their finest hour.

I wish my current six pot bmw was the NSX engine.

Oh go on. Do it! It's only a grand. You could be on the road getting "maximum respect" in no time at all. You'll get nearly £190 from the scrappy. It's 1860kg and they pay ten quid cash per 100kg.

Just looking at Autotrader for no real reason , and came across this beauty

Fill the fuel tank and engine with water and he'll get another tenner.

The scrappy is a wily beast. He's seen all the tricks in the book. Besides, they tend to have very large unpleasant dogs that they can summon with even the faintest of whistles.

True. Best not to upset them. That's where the Mafia dispose of their victims.

Wasn't there an early Bond film in which somebody met the same fate in a car compactor?

Yep, and Pulp Fiction amongst others.

And rather ineptly the "master criminal" had the car and victim crushed and then sent the cubed car to be melted down to get his gold out. I'd have simply retrieved the gold from the boot before crushing the car and saved myself a job. It would also saved having to transport the rather incriminating crushed car with a body inside it until my gold had been recovered. If I ever become a criminal mastermind you'd better watch out

 

[Drago]

Profpointy - the sensible master criminal.

Previa's been to the moon - ? leggy

Previa's are great to drive especially when they have auto boxes.

Use to have one as a company car when I worked at a Toyota dealership and drove quite a few customers one's as well .

The turbo was an Integrale motor with the boost turned down. Very easy to restore it to Integrale tune, whereupon it would kick the 8.32 in the knackers. 8.32 is a lovely rarity though, only 6 or 8 ever registered here.

Or how about the 155 Q4? Full 4WD integrale drive train as well to go with that engine
