PMS 4250 Playa 1.0

PMS 4250 Playa

Drive, drive, drive your car, gently down the road...

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, while you blow your load!

Or something along those lines, anyway.

What is there to say about this car? That it uses a pushrod engine, in 2012? Yes. So what? That it has leaf spring suspension? And? Ladder chassis? All-steel bodywork? A low-quality Flat 4 engine that barely makes 5000RPM without valve float? Trashy turbo, and primitive mechanical fuel injection?

All true. This thing is as raw and cheap and low-tech, as anything you can imagine. Utterly non-competitive, polluting, fuel-guzzling, a roadfaring deathtrap on wheels. Looking at this car's specifications, you'd think it would fall apart after one kilometer on the road.

But it's SO fun to drive!! And for some reason that escapes me, tough as all hell, surviving jumps that routinely kill 20x times more expensive cars. And there's nothing like it on the road! Be a Playa! Drive a PMS!
