No you dont. It just helps one know when you've replied.

 

Sometimes I dont think you like me

 

Dont answer that

I tend not to use the quote button as it just makes quote pyramids. Usually it's obvious who I'm replying to.

Actually I think the Zed has probably been the most reliable car I've ever bought. Touches wood. My desk. Not knob.

Haha brilliant. I agree, I have had 4 years of relatively cheap motoring.

 

To be honest the worst car I ever owned was my 2002 Celica 190. It was almost impossible to keep it in 'Lift' (Toyota's VTEC) when changing from 2nd to 3rd.

I've never owned a poor car.

 

Why did that not surprise me

Well someone on here has to have good taste

Ok Dan not having a go at you but "never owned a poor (cr*p) car" & "have good taste"? May I remind you of the following below....

 

 

Ford Focus 1.8 TDdi,

...are you sure?.

(I know it was your first car so definitely a cut above what I had still. )

 

 

 

Worst car I owned purely for the amount of things that went wrong on it & the money it cost me was my 1996 JDM Subaru Impreza WRX.

• Engine blew (one month after I bought it) ~ oil pump failure leading to big end failure. (Rebuilt engine to better than OEM spec £4.5K)
  
• Gearbox failed ~ most parts internally replaced.
  
• Rear diff broke.
  
• Front diff needed adjusting ~ then broke afterwards.
  
• Gearbox failed again ~ rebuilt completely apart from parts from last build which were ok.
  
• Various sensors replaced in the engine bay ~ can't remember them all.
  
• Engine blown again after 12K miles covered since rebuild ~ this time put a piston crank arm through the block.
  
• Sold the POS as a non-runner to a Subaru specialist who used it for parts & the shell.

The mk1 Focus is a design classic!

 

Bah, philistines.

I think you've got a stalker Dan.

Definitely a better design than my 1988 MK1 Nissan Micra that I had as my first car I'll give you that.

So have you,

 

....just been stalking you on your R33 thread again.

Heh, one of the lads at work had one of those as his first car, in purple. We used to call it the Hungry Hippo

[Flex]

We saw 2 micras the other day, old ones, they just keep on going!

[GMballistic]

Very apt considering the aerodynamics of the Micra I'd say Dan.

Austin Maestro....needed a car quick and cheap....so called mate said his dad was selling one paid £300 for it...think it used its value in oil in the 6 months that i had it.

 

steering was iffy, gearbox was iffy.

 

just a nasty car

[Lexx]

Pug 406 coupe 2.2 HDi.

 

FIrst generation DPF system fitted to it. Caused no end of woe. Not to mention the vacuum swirl valves made of chocolate.

 

Hateful thing.

Austin Princess,it just started to fall apart. I've had some bad cars in my time but that was the worse.

[Hell presidente]

Saxo VTS, was tuned and running coilovers so went like f#@k for what it was but everything broke. Bloody French cars!

[ZEUS]

Mk1 Audi TT followed by Mk2 Audi TT both piles of unreliable crap.

[Justthejedi]

MG Maestro 1600cc which was an absolute dog. Could never get the twin weber carburettors to balance, hot restarts was just a joke and very embarrasing, cylinder head cracked, gear linkage just fell off so couldn't get any gears.....and then I crashed into the back of somebody at a round-about which cost me a fortune to fix.

[HaydnH]

Mk1 MR2 SuperCharger tuned to 190bhp... absolutely great car... but my brother rolled it in to a ditch the first time he borrowed it within a year of me owning it so I wish I'd never had it.
