jazza Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DazBob Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 Jazza Are you just randomly picking shit cars, or did you own all three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DazBob Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 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? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazza Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Jazza Are you just randomly picking shit cars, or did you own all three? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazza Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 My first car was a Seat Marbella, that was pretty woeful... 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...

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.

no balls Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It wasn't the UTD incident was it? 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.

Members DazBob Posted June 23, 2011 Members Share Posted June 23, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
