Rolls Canardly

aardvaak

I was talking to someone recently who said they had about 30 years ago a Rolls Canardly.

Does anyone have any details or what it looked like?

iirc, they were something like this:



Rolls down hill, Canardly get up the other side

This takes me back some years, our version was

Rolls down one hill, can hardly get up the other

It's a Lada. But back in the 80s or so, "Rolls Canardly" was a popular dig at any car that was seen as underpowered or generally knackered

This person, is he normally reliable ? as an aside I noted the article about some of the things the Fire Brigade get called out to assist with., HOW DOES ANYONE GET THEIR GENITALS TRAPPED IN AN ELECTRIC TOASTER ?

Rear engined Skodas were often called Rolls Canhardly, often used as a derogatory term for a big heap of rubbish and similar to many of my previous cars from the early sixties.
