Ok, since going from the recent threads, many of you have owned Nova's and Fords before, so it's time to come clean and tell us what's the worst or chaviest car you've owned?
Personally, I've only ever owned VWs (5 so far), but when I first passed my test, I used to drive my parents 1.4i Astra estate. Plenty of fun had racing round to the cinema at midnight with mates to catch a late movie.
-
only other car i've owned was a 1.4d peugeot 106 mardi gras!?!?! haha it wasnt a bad car tho, took a lot of stick, and now has spinning wheels trims on it!?!?
-
This is a tough one for me to admit, but i use to own a....Ford Mondeo Estate... :embarassed: :sick: lol
My pops convinced me to buy it as he said it was "practical" as i had a dog and horses at the time...i have to admit having an estate was handy at times....but one Monday morning about 9am i was filling it up with petrol and went to pay and the attendant said to me "oh you on the school run this morning then"... :shocked: :shocked: he actually thought because of the estate and the time of the morning, that i was a mum on her way back from dropping her kids off... I was gutted :grin: that very morning i put it up for sale and sold it within 2 days :grin: :laugh:
I went straight out and brought my 205 GTI :wink:
-
I think my worst car has to be a Ford Escort Mk4 XR3i cabriolet. I'd sold my Sierra Cosworth and took it in part exchange :rolleyes: Done the deal in London.... drove it about 30mins of the way home, just got onto the M25 when the gearbox broke and I was left with just first and second gear!! :laugh:
When I did finally get it running again I used to drive it round with the for sale sign in the window, with the roof down.... but it was January and freezing! But I hadn't had a cabriolet before.... and never want one of those again. A truly pants car.
(This was about 7 years ago so don't hold it against me!!)

Only owned VWs so far, 1300, 1800, 2000cc. :cool: All mk2's aswell.
Although i have driven a load of my mates cars, ranging from an old Escort mk3 Estate (Ex Army car) to a rover 214i, to a Honda CRV. Honda wasn't bad. :smiley:

I had a 1980s Mk2 Vauxhall Cavalier Commander. Shocking car, absolute shed :sick:. I was skint at the time. I had to sell a mint BMW E30 too! :cry:
-
first car was an e reg escort was bought for me and my bro as our first 'if you have any crashes its a sh!te car' type car. That got sold when i went to uni as it wouldnt really be practical to keep it where I was living (chapeltown in leeds *shudders*) We then moved to 3 bedroom semi with my ex and two dogs so my dad bought me a lovely l reg 1.6 16V Escort. However, while working i pulled out on someone and had a tiny bump (only one in 5 years driving) was still driveable but on our anniversary trip to chester zoo one junction onto the m62 the car decided to die complete and utterly. Dad said the headgasket went in a very bad place and would cost £200 to fix along with £200 to repair body work from bump and the car only cost £400 from a friend who works at ford garage. It got scrapped.
6 months after my dad suprised me with the mk2 golf i currently drive. Im doing well dontcha think three cars bought for me so far!! :grin: :grin:

My own cars have been Mk1 Golf 1.1, Mk2 Jetta 1.3 and the Mk2 Golf GTi. When I passed my test many a moon ago I used to drive my old mans Morris Ital van, affectionately known as the 'Big Yellow FunBus'!!
-
My first car was a two tone Nissan Micra Collette :sick:

My first car was sharing with my old girl, who had it given to her by my Grandad. It was an F-reg Volvo 370 1.7. So comfy used to think I was awesome with 2peeps in the front 4 in the back lol but i gave that a bump so after I passed my A-levels my old man bought me a p-reg 1.4i Escort in white. It was lush for me and i put some 17's on it and limo black tints all round, used to cruise all night long but I sold that then for a 206xsi on an s-plate. Kitted it right out (so thats the chaviest i spose) but in a tasteful way. Then I sold that and bought a Mk4 Golf 2.0GTI 8v but sold it cos it was too slow. I decided then on a Honda Civic Type R which was awesome but burned a hole in my pocket like u dont wanna know. Then it was another 206xsi slightly modded, followed by a Mk4 Golf GTI T 180 and now I got A Mk4 Golf TDi 130. I bn driving for about 5 years but last year I went through 4 or 5 cars so im trying to keep the TDI as its fast and economical. Would like a TDI Anniversary next, so watch this space lol
