Reliant Robin for me as well, although I was getting towed in it at the time. The bets bit was when the rope snapped and I was left coasting down a dual carriageway with no steering!

Also tried the capri, it was a white one and I had it for a morning while I decided whether to buy it or not. Needless to say I didn't. I couldn't live with myself if I had. blush.gif

I was very proud of this at the time, although many might think it was embarassing...

Just how much crap has been bolted onto that car yelrotflmao.gif

I guess that the local car "accessories" shop saw you coming blush.gif

Anyway my worst is probably a Mk 1 Corsa. I've driven much cheaper and "crappier" cars (Renault 5 1.0l, Micra Mk 1 & 2, AX 1.4D, Colt 1.3 etc etc etc) but nothing could be close the the Corsa - at least the others acknowledged their status as cheap transport.

No one claims that a Micra is a performance car but the number of people who (honestly) think that their Corsa is "something special" (bit like the driver) is amazing.

Quick drop the suspension, stick on stupidly big wheels and fold the seats flat to "help" the handling FIREdevil.gif

without a doubt the Austin Montego Vanden Plas that I drove aged 20. The (metal) sunroof flew out of it's mountings at 70mph on the motorway, was run over by a lorry and I had to suffer the shame of parking on the hard shoulder to walk back to where it lay.

A hammer and some custom-made brackets got the little bugger back in no problem Flush.gif

I've not really driven many embarising cars, probably my ex's Rover 214Si (bubble shape) or the Seat Cordoba 1.9D (non-turbo) I learn't to drive in.

The 214 was amusing if just for the fact that the front and rear suspension settings felt like they'd been tuned by two people who'd never met.

I didn't drive it but before I started learning to drive my mum had a Hyundai Accent for a second car. I always insisted to be dropped off round the corner from school

I once had to drive a Smart Roadster. The car is not embarrassing at all (infact it was a great little thing), however put me in it and people pointed and laughed as I drove down the street.

Imagine the scene from the Incredibles where Mr Incredible is driving his very small car.
