Sarcasm has come out trumps for a seventh year running at the annual 'Lowest Form of Wit' awards show, beating off competition from irony, mockery and knock-knock jokes.

Thanks D, fairly early brochure, could be one to add to the collection. I will keep an eye on that one, less than 3 hours, quite surprising how many of these things pop up on ebay.

What was the one you drove? A van or motorcaravan or what?

Oh dear, my reply was meant to be on BobbyG's Jeep thread. Perhaps a mod could move it?

When I passed my test my dad saw in his infinite wisdom the benefit of getting one of these- a caravanette - with the 4/99 diesel to add insult to injury. So slow it was dangerous.

Yes the diesel is painfully slow by all accounts, the one diesel survivor I have read about is also an auto, now there's a recipe for a traffic jam.

The more common 1725 Hunter petrol engine is no ball of fire but it certainly doesn't hold up traffic and is happy at 60-70 on the motorway.
