8) whats the biggest pile of s...e you have ever driven....yes you can include someone elses marina.
probably an avenger i had years ago..vsx276m....wonder if it still exists??

[martinmarina]

heh easy for me A Lada 1200 not the Riva the first one the fookin instrument cluster was in Russki

0-60 with a hurricane behind you going downhill ,about 14MPG just nasty , God even the memory of it makes me shudder

[furzey]

As much as i love them it would have to be my old '73 1200 Beetle which i had when i was 18, pretty gutless and had an awful tendency to wander in cross winds - scary at about 70. Apart from that probs a mk3 fester which was a bloody good car for the money but the steering was shite

[ClaytonSpeed]

That fiesta was a legend mate!


The worst car i've driven was probs an old mk3 I had once that was rotten to the core! It was a death trap!

[~Sam~]

Smokey Joe not even get a mention then Furze? I think that would be my worst car becase even though I didnt ever own or drive it I was misfortunate enough to be in the car behind it and almost choked to death on the great clouds of blue smoke it was bellowing out!

[furzey]

Nope Smokey Joe was a legendary car - proper old grandad fun car, quite quick for what it was, nice to drive, and idiots up your back end soon backed off when i asphycsiated them with a few revs :twisted: Bloody brilliant for 190 quid !!

[ClaytonSpeed]

189.89 Furze! There was 11p change stuck to the bonnet!

[furzey]

i do apologise,. i had forgotten that "modification"

[~Sam~]

Well £189.89 as you got 11p cash back with it!!

edit: Damn it I'm thinking the same as Ben!!

Now that one is easy Larry, the biggest pile of sh*te i ever drove was an FSO Polonez, i only drove it round the block at the old Fiat dealership where i used to work, and within a five minute trip i managed to break off the winow winder, the indicator stalk and the gearknob came off in my hand

J4 Van I bought from a guy in the pub in 1982 for £25 to move house with.
It was like driving a boat and had to stop and bleed the clutch ever so often
Did the job though!

[Al Williams]

The Escort 1.8 diesel van I had for two weeks and sold to buy the Sun tor!

[ado28]

Surprisingly I can’t fault my Escort van and I’m not a Ford lover. The beast just keeps on going and it’s very economical on fuel, even when towing Marina’s all over the country! It needs the wishbones and brake disks done now, not looking forward to doing the repair as I’m told the wishbones can be a pig and I have no Oxy

[Al Williams]

Couldn't fault the economy and handines of the van at all really.

It was just the most unengaging, slow vehicle I have driven.

The 1300 dolly was quicker!

The gear change was sloppy and the front bumper fell off due to the bonding coming away from what remained of the steel reinforcing behind!!!

I tie wrapped it back on and sold it for profit!

[Muskydo]

Oh no your all wrong here the Worst car ever has to the DAF 33 I borrowed my next door neighbors about 10 years ago for trip to Gatwick,about 120 miles from home,took 6 hours non stop one way.Variablematic transmission (rubber bqnds)made sure you didn't exceed ANY speed limits,and you had to plan a long way in advance any thing other than going in straight line. :x :x
