I think that every time I'm behind one of them!
I just have the urge to overtake so I don't have to look at it

There used to be an old Panda 4x4 at an off-road site near East Grinstead, as I recall it had no low box so everything had to be tackled at excessive speed; I don't think it was a comfortable ride!

mind a guy making a anus style kit car based on the panda but it was costing him to much to really make a profit so gave it up shame cos it looked quite good

Had three old style 4x4 Pandas over the years. Absolutely fantastic off road, I kid you not. Drove in circles around a Range Rover which had become well and truly stuck in some soft ground. When it was eventually pulled out by a tractor I drove the Panda over the same ground and out the other side. Just like a quad bike with a roof really. They really are that good. Just to confirm I have a little bit of experience on 4x4s, over the years I have owned 1 LJ80, 3 SJs, 1 series 3 Landrover ( never again) 1 Daihatsu F50, 5 Subaru's, 1 Bedford CF 4x4 and probably a few more I can't bring to mind.
I feel I must add that although I rate the old Panda's highly when fitted with the correct tyres, a Suzuki SJ would out perform in every department.

I quite like those Panda's, but that "road rat" thing - vehicles don't come much more ugly than that thing!
