I meant idiots tipping it over at night when it was parked up,lol.Never had a problem when driving though.Many years ago, a former colleague came to work late cursing because someone had done that to his wife's proper fiat 500.Must admit I am always tempted to walk down the street flipping all the cars parked on the pavement over onto the road- good job I don't eat weetabixI want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

This popped up in my youtube clickbait feedHe shows you an underside view later on, the electric motor drives via a rubber band- reminds me very much of a C5. The comments are quite amusing too, about the sturdiness of the build- clearly they've never looked under a Proper CarJust reinforces to me that it is massively, massively overpriced @ £8000 (£400 for a couple of stickers and some bits of orange plastic
) But I suppose the response is "If Citroen can sell all they can make at that price, why reduce it to a more realistic one?"
I'd order one today if it were £4000.Since I live in a cave, I was shocked to see that the poverty spec. Dacia has gone from £7995 two years ago to £12995 today, so maybe It is me that has the problem

The Dacia Sandero is the UK's cheapest new car @ £12,595. Crazy isn't it? I also remember when they were £7995.
It does seem that you are correct:

£13k for the cheapest new car - I need some help with my maths!0 -
The Dacia website lists it at £12995 today. (£13645 if you want any colour but poverty white) It now has a radio.The spare wheel is an extra £300 (£120 if you buy an aftermarket one with tools)They are blaming the B-word, C-word and W-word (all of which happened since I went into my cave- I think I'll stay in it
)
