Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 some great cars on these lists ... and ummm arrgghh some not so great ones ... I honestly think my shameful Hyundi Pony is one of the worst cars so far, unless anyone has any other ideas? Which is your ****est car that you have ever owned ? (not the one that was the most trouble) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Aston Martin DBS 6 vantage Total respect for that one ! Dont get carried away with ideas of grandure! It was about 10 years old and had had a hard life, so was a bit scruffy. Nevertheless, it made a great noise when pressing on, and on one corner in particular on the Stone/Uttoxeter Road I could always get the backend to hang out quite controlled in second gear! It was a novel experience with such a wide and heavy car. And the induction roar from the 3 twin choke Webbers had to be heard to be believed, if you gave it full throttle and reasonable revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
