I was going to post this in Bazza's thread about his fucked Escort clutch cable when someone mentioned a Ford Probe but didn't want to hijack his thread when he needed advice..

 

They (Probes) were truly embarrassing cars. not because of their looks particularly, they were a bit poserish but ok but they were called PROBE. every time probe is mentioned the word anal comes into my mind. Did anyone own one?

 

Going back further another shit car was the Austin Princess.... a totally shameful machine.

 

Then there is the daddy of them all the Citroen 2CV

My first car was a Seat Marbella, that was pretty woeful...

Are you just randomly picking shit cars, or did you own all three?

My first car was a 1.2 Nova. I treated it badly. Had it been a pet, the authorities would've taken it off me.

 

However, it never missed a beat. I then part ex'd it for a brand new Fiat Bravo. Worst mistake I ever made. Absolute pile of shit.

 

Since then had:-

 

Audi Coupe

Nissan 200SX

VW Polo

BMW Compact

Subaru Impreza

SEAT Leon (the smart man's Golf , eh NB? )

No I didn't own any of them, They are 3 of my most hated machines though there is another that I hate more that I can't remember the name of yet but will.

 

It was made by Ford and was based on the Granada but had a droopy nose and a boot the size of Brazil

 

I am a car lover but i know what i like and know what I don't

Sounds like a Scorpio?

indeed it was

 

 

i'll take issue with that SJM I had a 205GTI and loved it.

When I lived in London, Maestro bought from a car lot in Acton where it turned out they used to film Minder (seriously! - should have told me summat).

Weirdly it had a Bolton reg; but it was a cunt from day one

By the end it would only go into 3rd or reverse

I didnt mine was an XS or summat

it is pretty terrible Daz.. it looks like a ringer with the front half of a Renault 5 and the back of a Fiat Panda.

 

This is the worst I have owned going by reputation... ( I had 4 and loved them all they were so basic and I never lost any cash on any of them)

 

Bazzas car shame trumps them all.

 

Its been ripped to bits on here previously but I once bought a red Passat at auction without noticing the private plate

It wasn't the UTD incident was it?

Whoa, steady on there mate. That SEAT Marbella has got fuck all to do with me.

 

SEATs in them days were part of the FIAT group, whereas now they are part of the VW/Audi Group (VAG), meaning the sensible man will buy a SEAT ahead of a VW due to the cars being virtually identical underneath but with a higher spec of kit and a lower price tag.

Thing is though, he could leave it unlocked outside his home though as no self respecting Johnny Fowder'd nick it.

That's got to keep the insurance premium down.

A lad I used to work with had a Lada like that one, same colour too, but he had white wheel trims.

 

I'll never forget him giving three of us a lift to play footie and one of said wheel trims made a break for it and overtook us.

Sorry Daz mate, it was snoopjohn who had the Marbella... it was you going on about your Seat that had me thinking it would be you

only had the one car which i've classed as me own and its a beaut.

 

my mates first car was this and he was the first to drive so we decided to go to blackpool inbetweeners style.

it was a right shed, duct tape everywhere on the way home on the motorway the side fuckin window fell out!

 

No crap cars here, I like my wheels

 

Did have a beige b reg citro?n bx though once as a courtesy car.

 

It wouldn't be so bad but I was 19 and at college at the time.

 

The ladies loved it, honest!
