XTreme Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've had some fucking horrors......and I'll start with this! It'll take some beating! 1968 Reliant Regal 3/25......which I had in 1971 driving it on a motorcycle licence. And check out the spec......it had a 600cc engine and 25bhp! The G Force distorted my fucking face I can tell you! You got anything as embarrassing as that? Probably not.......but let's see what you got! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Worst car I had was a Daytona Yellow Mk3 Cortina, I felt a twat as I sold my Suzuki TS250ER to buy the Ford and the seller stitched me right up. The head gasket blew after two weeks (he disguised the overheating issue by taking the thermostat out) and the two of the wheels only had 3 wheel nut holding them on. It looked like this but a lot shabbier............ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
