whats the worse car you have ever owned? ??

mine.was probably a hillman imp it cost me 50 quid. so great in some respects, bought it to get me to work and back when i was getting a new turbo fitted to my car. had 2 months mot 2 months tax. about 2 weeks after i got my rs back was still driving it to.work one day spinning the back wheels round a corner. very slowly i might add and a drive shaft popped. so i nursed it to the side of the.road and left it there got taxi home! !! cant beat cheap little.runners lol

and the funny thing was? ? it was parked there for over 12 month before the council removed it. in south harrow

Tbh my mum brought me it lol

Though I must admit it was quite pokey not compaired to a scoob of course but for what it was :thumb:

Had an Austin metro with the hydronic suspension and two of which had no gas in so was lower one side than the other...

My pride and joy when I was 18 was a ford Orion 1.6i EFI with ford 5 spoke alloys was mint!

I crashed it 360 in 3 weeks :)

It was orange as well. A pillar was rotten, used to have to lift the door a bit from outside when I closed it. Then one day it fell off! I had a brown nail of a doily sprint once. Battered to fook it was. Anyway, went Yarmouth in it with the lads when I was 18. Got stuck behind a right old codger for miles on the A47 doing about 35 round the twistys for miles, I remember he was in a red Vauxhall Chevette. We came up to a roundabout and he's sat there for ages not going when he should so I pushed him out with the front of my car, the look on his face was priceless!

1977 Ford Cortina 1.6 auto, would never start at 5am so walked to work everyday. Started first time when I got home. Rust I think Ford invented it. Nice looking car though, worst looking was my Beetle but by far the best car I had, no stopping it. Thirstist Car was the Scoob but best driving car, Most economical my Skoda YES its a SKODA.
