Most Disappointing car....

That makes it sounds far more exotic than the engine from the Renault 30/Peugeot 604/Volvo 264! 

My brother had a bit of a thing for the 30 and 604 in the '80's, around the time that we got the £2 gallon of juice, a scandalous petrol price which meant that it was hard to give them away.  There are still a few tucked away in a shed he own's....

I could go on for the day. So many cars, so little money.   I have an itch for a DeLorean that just won't go away. I know it's a crap car, has a rubbish Renault engine (from the Fuego I think) and was built by old women with Uzi machine guns under their beds. I know it will be rubbish to drive and that people will laugh at me when it's broken down at the side of the road.  But just to have a stranger ask me to show them the Flux Capacitor will be enough to make it worthwhile.

The Engine was from the Renault Alpine V6.

Errr ...

I should know better than to get involved in threads like this.

Thats because I feel my blood pressure rising at the mere thought of the worst car I ever owned. 

I could fill reams of paper with its faults, its breakdowns, its absolutely superiority at being the worst motoring garbage I have ever had the misfortune to own.

Instead though, to save me from probably cardiac arrest, I shall just say it was an 02 plated Jaguar 2.5 V6 SE.

I feel ill.

i rented the ferrari 348 from the company in ballsbridge back in 1995, few of my friends drove it too and we were all left gobsmacked  at how good it was to drive,and sounded sooo good,but put it this way i had it from 11am till 4/5 then my bro till 7then 3/4 friends till midnite then back to me till about 6am then back to my bro ,and i went all over the place including Newry, Naas ,Shankill,Navan but the best blast was in the Sallysgap Rounwood Blessington area.....and that was just me,so i can imagine the abuse it had before you guys got it

BTW the worst car i had was an opel calibra turbo...bought her when she was 4months old,god she was crap....but looked good

Bloody valetors. You're only supposed to clean the car, not thrash it down the road. I'd do the same given the opportunity though.

Ferris Buelers Day Off anyone....
