I got my Dad to rent the Ferrari 348 for one day back in 2000, I was grinning like a cheshire cat afterwards till I realised the €450 I put towards it was now gone... I never thought you could go 100mph on Griffith avenue till that day!

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 |

Lukeduke, I owned a Mitsubishi FTO mivec, I sold it after 4 months, Not quick, uncomfortable and expensive to run. I did make £400 on it though but it was certainly my most dissapointing car

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'd always wanted a 750iL and when I got it, I was soooo disappointed: creamy V12 power, superb handling, every mod con -- utterly superb car, and I cry whenever I see one because I miss mine so much.
Errr ... |

I'm guessing that the ferrari you're all talkin about is the same one! It was a rental car from a company in Ballsbridge/Donnybrook, Turns out a friend of mine now works for the guy who owned the company and he still has the car. Definatly not in good shape anymore!
It's been crashed more times than a touring car! One of them being one of the guys that I used to work with in the car valeting co. A bit of understeer and staight into a lampost |

A few guys have fitted Lotus V8 twin turbo engines into their DeLoreans.
Now that would be interesting. Edited by flyingalexf68 |

[QUOTE=Mick525i]The Engine was from the Renault Alpine V6. /QUOTE] 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.... |

So I discovered the other day thanks to a really rubbish show about the supposed Top 30 Movie cars on sky2. Can anyone guess what the winner was??? (It wasn't the Delorean).

Worst/most disappointing car I have ever owned was a Triumph Dolomite Sprint...
(it was a few years back, mind)... It was a death trap, expensive and horrible to drive and be in... The (notorious) head gasket problem did rear its' head, but the worst part of that job was that it is nigh on impossible to remove/undo the exhaust to manifold nuts with the engine in situ... But, apart from that and a few other mechanical design woes, the car had fairly evil on-limit handling...even with decent tyres, shocks, springs, etc... The cabin was cramped and designed with the ergonomics of a 19th century sailing boat and the seats were so poor, especially for a suppossed performance car, that it was never possible to exploit any possible handling... Had a few others that were pretty poor, too...Fiat Uno 70s Race car was a total flop...Hateful handling and just unexciting performance on the track.... |
