Caught fire in a jam in the morning rush hour in east London.

on reflection that car had character , never broke down on me or cost me any money bar the gas.

i had a mondeo v6 , that was the most costly piece of sh1t i ever had the misfortune to own.

bought an old escort estate from a dealer who had to jump start it and board up a broken window on it for £50. only lasted 7 hours but i was moving from glasgow to leicester at the time and it was cheaper than hiring a van.

An MG metro. Made my old Escourt feel like a Rolls Royce in comparison, and that was a heap of junk. Really crude to drive and unreliable, had enough of it and took out a loan to buy a BMW and been German ever since.

I was just going to mention the Allegro Estate (the hearse) and the Austin Princess.

So ugly they couldn't get past first base. But they were, I dare say, shoddily built

Lighten up fella! I don't ever recall chatting with you on here, but if I did it would appear as if I upset you. It wasn't intentional. Let it go :)

Worst car I've ever driven was a 2006 VW polo. Awful car - luckily only a hire car. Worst car I've owned was a fiat tipo. Coincidentally, it was also my favourite car.

my ex wife had a fiat 127 in her youth, the throttle cable snapped one morning and she asked me to**it

being useless i tied a piece of string on to the linkage and ran it thru the bulkhead so she could pull the string to accelerate

my own disaster was a tvr tuscan which i bought new, in 3 years it had 3 engine rebuilds, gearbox, clutch, suspension twice, electrical failures numerous times, cracked wheels twice, lock failures, immob failure, leaks, steering rack fault, list was fecking endless

i worked out that it cost me about 10k per yr for the time i owned it and it was under warranty for the first yr!
