I like it!!
One of the projects I want to do is a Panda 4x4 with an Uno turbo engine in it.

Having owned a couple of Pandas, this is very appealing

I have a Fiat 1600 twin cam engine in bits in the shed, I wonder if that would fit.

I once saw a Fiat Panda with a rover V8 fitted

(it used to compete at harewood hill during early 90s)

Iv seen one of them on the road!!

The 4X4's are supposed to be very good and going off road..

An old 4x4 panda can tackle a steeper slope than a landrover! (because it's so light).

Must admit i would love to get hold of a mint condition Panda 4x4 sisley...

Just had a look on eBay...

20,000 genuine miles and it even comes with the front nudge bars...

The wife would kill me!

My first car was a panda 750.. weighed less than me! Needless to say, I have many nostalgic memories of great drives, near misses (and back seat antics - wouldn't fancy trying that now!), which I'm sure cloud my judgement of just how terrible it really was...

I've been thinking for ages it would be great to stick a bike engine (or 2!) in one.

Never had a car since with a back seat that can be converted into a hammock 'for carrying delicate objects'. Don't know how I cope without it.

Eeeeh them were t' days

I was a bit more up-market... my first car was a Panda 1000 Super... It had low profiles and everything....

I am contemplating trading in my landy for a panda At least then my missus could park it.

Always fancied one of these. Saw a few of them when I lived in Southern Belgium. Neat and quite capable.

It's the VW Golf Country, with the 4x4 syncro stuff on it.

But try finding a decent one in this country!!

This one's in Canada
