so lets turn this into 'the worst car you've ever owned' thread - that'll stop the nob waving

all you bimmer/merc lads, just repost the same pictures

as for me - it was my classic red 1978 Morris Marina 1.8 Super Deluxe - 1970's styling on 1940's Morris Minor running gear

I had the marvellous 1.3 coupe version of this pile of shit as a company car in 1978, in hearing aid beige. Prior to that was a Fiat 127, the first ever hatchback, I believe, and was nippy and practical, the only problem being you could sit at night listening to it rust.

Current car not the best but had it for 5 years and not let me down yet.

Bought a red Montego off a neighbour when i was 18.Thought i could fix it up and make a bit of cash.Until i drove it and it had no 2nd gear!!!

My Sister was a Police officer and back in the day, GMP bought Montego's as traffic cars. Within a few months a memo was sent to all officers instructing them not to drive Montego's at more than 60mph as it was considered too dangerous

The Montego MG turbo was quick in its day, 0-60 in 7 seconds or so

Are you a hairdresser, or just a flash wanker?

friend of mine had one as his first company car, 6 weeks later it seized solid on the way back from Cornwall. The oil had disappeared not from a leak but rubbish tolerances in the antique engine.
The morris minor was known for front wheels dropping off, the marina inherited the exact same design. ycnmiu

I had one of those. They gave it a powerful engine but didn't upgrade the brakes or suspension. Bit scary.
