Have a 127. Its claim to fame was that despite being hatchback shaped, it wasn’t actually made as one at first. The hatch came later as an option.

That’s an unusual survivor, they more usually wound up like this:

Advanced viewers might work out why I carefully chose two orange ones for today.

Just a wild guess: orange because of the colour of the rocks in the movie 127 hours. Which was the only orange that popped up on mr Google.

As it happens, the orange I was thinking of was originally from the Netherlands.

How did the trunk door open if not a hatch, though hatch shaped? I assume the second image is the hatch version. I’m intrigued.

Like so. Same shape, just not a hatch.

Oh that makes sense. I was imagining full glass and confusion.

Is it a shame I, as a Dutchguy, can’t figue what your reffering to?

Contrary to what you would maybe expect, we didn’t get that much on the history of the Dutch royals at school. So I didn’t even know the Dutch had done anything relevant in Ireland. Learning something new everyday!

Well, those guys could at least qualify for an Euro or World championship. Which the new generation obviously could not.

The EM felt weird without the Dutch tbh. I would’ve definitely watched that.

It’s a weird relationship between our countries, we can’t go with or without eachother on an Euro Championship.
