Lest we not forget, Lucas, Prince of Darkness.I'm not sure that meets the criterion for 'weird car-related post' ... simply looks like arson to me: which is political, not onboard misbehaviour... (unless one allows the inevitable hundreds of jokes about French car electrical systems reliability!)

Sorry for being slow but as I see it the common element in all of this is your Missus. Nothing untoward happened when you drove both cars. Ban your wife from driving both cars and inform your insurance company. The money saved you can put towards a nice frock for the wife as way of consolation.
Not any more, apparently.You're not married are you ?
Not the best combination imo. Rather like the Alfa Romeo Arna. "Hey I know Luigi, Hayatomi, I have it sorted! We can put that unorthodox Italian engine that's been around since the days of the AlfaSud into that bland Japanese hatch that nobody wants to buy, it will sell like hot cakes!"Reminds me of what a colleague said of the original Nissan Leaf - "It's a Japanese design with French electrics rather than the other way round"
One of the better things about the Alfasud was that boxer engine. It was a hoot to drive, the car just needed better brakes, electrics and structural steel.I just hope that somewhere in a parallel universe there is an AlfaSud that's been properly assembled and painted before having a slightly warmed-up Japanese 1600 4-pot dropped in, and that this creation is that universe's answer to the 205 GTi. A place of beauty and wonder where the dread words "Austin Metro" do not have car enthusiasts waking screaming at 3am.

Reminds me of the old adage that Heaven would have French food and British cops, and Hell would have British food and French cops.
What would you know about vitamin B6; as far as I know, it isn’t found in booze.i thought B6 was a vitamin

Maybe in the 70s.
Yes, I had an Alfa 33 with the 1.5 version of that engine. Crap car overall, but the engine was great. Revved like a bike engine, handled very neatly. Until it went bang on the A1 10 miles north of Scotch Corner. I fancy another Alfa. All I need is to check my breakdown insurance and review the tool and spares bag.One of the better things about the Alfasud was that boxer engine.
