Get out of your kitchen and rattle those pots and pans!
Sort out your best heavy metal C.D.s, and prepare to kick some serious backsides, as the ride of your life, (outside the bedroom) is about to start.
“Silver dream machine”
That is a title of a song by David Essex, wrote about 25 years ago, long before this car was even a sparkle in its fathers eyes
But this is sex on the road.
A car to adore
A sight to excite
And all the other clichés in the world.
FACTS.
You don’t want to know these do you?
All right then
The 1.7, is no longer produced, only the 1.6.
This is slightly inferior, but only slightly, and is about 2k cheaper than the 1.7 was.
Available in 5 colours
Radiant Red
Melina Blue
Panther Black
Green (cant remember the name)
Stardust Silver
I like silver, as it is so sporty, but hard to touch up if you dare to scratch it.
Metallic paint cost £250 extra.
Air con £250 extra, if you have one without it, WHY?
The re-sale value of your car without air con is about 500-1000 less.
If the salesman did not tell you this, kick his backside and don’t buy a car there again.
Electric windows standard
Central locking standard
Sun roof optional extra (not advised as it looks crap)
Boot space OK for small shopping trip.
Seats 4, but only 2 Adults comfortably, 2 medium kids at the most in the back.
Fuel consumption, about 8 gallons, 220 miles full tank, so roughly 27 MPG.
Don’t worry what government figures say, I have had 8 Pumas, and they all worked out to this on a trip up to Newcastle, which I made fairly regularly.
Drive.
Wow, stop me and buy one.
This is where you come alive.
Its like driving a go cart!
It handles the road so well, it was made for the Pretty woman quote, “it handles like its on rails”
And it does.
You can be a formula 1 driver,
A poor man on a Ferrari,
You can be anything your imagination lets you be.
You can pick up an R reg Puma for around £7K, and I suggest that you do.
Shot through the heart, and your to blame
Get out the way, Bloody Sunday driver
Toot toot
Yeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa
