90s were ok but slow, draughty and uncomfortable. Discos were bearable too. I used to trade-plate them around the country. It was quite rare to get one back with an intact transmission, I always took food and drink and something to read. I am familiar with many lay-bys. They also came with a bewildering selection of anti-theft devices which caused embarrassment at fuel stations.
The turbo lag was bad enough to be dangerous.
I once got lost while driving a Disco, pulling a trailer with another one on. I did a three-point turn on the well-kept (but wet) green in a vilage in Cheshire. I wonder if Punkape had to fill in the ruts.
