Who let the frogs out?

[rainydays]

I love that colour.
I put my summer tires on my RS and my dealer had the same one in the showroom. They even had a cycle rack at the rear with a nice mountain bike!
I would only get it in Froggy Green that one. Reminds me of my first Focus which was a 1.4 Froggy Green Zetec.

I’d rather have the R/C car.

It’s a f****ng SUV – If an ST update of the original Puma was released it would be a desirable little car.

@JohnD: You mean the nineties model:

 

 

Well, I agree with you. But that one had the face of a toad. A rework on the body might be appropriate 😉

There one for sale at moment with 84k on clock, 14k. Think that’s a good deal tbh.

It’s on classiccar but not sure if sold now.

But that one had the face of a toad.

Ha,ha……….but at least it didn’t have the colour of a toad!

A little front end make – over, updated drivetrain and 250bhp   What a cracking little car that would be!

The 1981 1.6 Escort Ghia was a nice car indeed. Strangely enough, this one featured a frog on the bonnet:

 

This car belonged to the late Princess Diana and is being auctioned. Anybody knows something about that particular mascot and its meaning? 🤔

@Frenk, an update for you 😺👍

In a personal touch, the car also had a sweet detail: a silver frog mascot – a copy of a wedding gift to Diana from her sister, Lady Sarah Spencer. The frog symbolised the fairy tale story of the girl who would kiss a frog and turn him into a prince.

nearly 40,000 miles on Fanny.  No regrets.  I’ve said it before – as an NHS frontline nurse the last year and a bit has taught me more than ever to live for the day: I don’t want to die with a barely used Fanny!

[frenk]

@bobcat: O, such a simple explanation. How cute. And it fits the topic – in a bizarre way 😀

Cheers bobcat 👍😎
