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!
