I think it’s easier to list all my cars than pick one ugly one lol
Vauxhall Viva (about 20 years old i think, would be about 40 now) – lent a mate £100 at the races and he gave me this car back instead lol
MG Metro – shitty car with an MG badge.
Opel Manta – Finaly I get a nice car, I loved this one.
Vauxhall astra – £600 off my sister, old and knackered but reliable. Some Sunderland fans rolled it onto it’s roof after the Boro boys beat them. Thankfully the insurance classed it as stolen ’cause it was moved from it’s orignal spot (only had 3rd party fire/theft insurance)
VW polo – this was rough (£400 from the astra insurance – drank the other £200 lol), but got me to the nightshifts at the casino so done it’s job.
Ford Orion ghia – had a bit of power until UK banned leaded fuel and then it might as well have been a 1.6 instead of 1.6i
Citreon Xsara estate – old mans car, but great for shifting stuff in the big boot – wouldn’t mind the new Jag estate, that looks classy and practical.
Toyota Corolla Verso – great family car. If you only need the 6th/7th seat occasionaly I would suggest you look at this instead of the bigger cars like Ford Galaxy & Renault Espace.
Toyota MR2 Turbo – Fireworks, lightning bolts, the works – I’m in love :inlove:
Well, at the time I thought it was the ugliest thing on earth, and it had a lot of dents and was in bad care when I got it, but today I would drool over it and happily spend the money to restore the beast.
It was a Dodge Dart convertible, with a push button transmission, and power top.
The top had a leak right above the driver’s seat, and I could be seen driving along with an umbrella .
It was bright red and huge, a 1964.
It was my first car and soon replaced with a 68 Cadillac. I have owned a string of 68 Caddies since – I love those things. At the present I don’t own one but that may change soon.

Just 2 of them, but that is damn annoying. I had a mustang convertible where it would leak on my left leg…. and get this… for some reason, it also leaked on my foot that needed to be on the gas pedal. I tried putting a plastic grocery bag around my foot, but didn’t really feel safe that way. I took long trips in it too, so I’d sometimes just wind up with a wet foot for 10 or 12 hours.
Besides that, I liked the car overall. It was a 4 cylyinder, so I was constantly telling people “No, it’s not a 5.0.”
