Cheeky sods.

Mine was the best car I've ever bought (not withstanding the new one, which it's too early to tell).

Post by: Varche on 25 January 2011, 14:21:59: I needed a tow car and test drove a Rover P5 that had a BMC diesel engine conversion. Didn't buy it as it :-
stank of diesel
had no brake servo fitted
had two batteries in the boot and the bloke still had to jump start it.

Settled on a Wolsey 16/60 instead! ;D ;D

Post by: bluey on 25 January 2011, 16:00:44: I walked away from a FIAT Uno once. It just felt dangerously unsafe to drive. I had the same sensation with a Beetle too, but that thing really was an utter nail.

An "an unsatisfactory drive", apparently. Whatever that is. ::)

Sounds like the journo doesn't know his @rse from his elbow, TBH. Just employed to generate search-engine-fodder.

Post by: Dishevelled Den on 25 January 2011, 16:57:00: With reference to the thread title I only discovered, when it was too late, the Renault 18 (bought for my wife) - was a poorly made, underwhelming car that I wish I'd never clapped eyes on never mind bought.
