Title: best and worst ? Post by: italianxrays on May 02, 2009, 07:57:58 AM ;)
Yet another late taxi shift ( 3.30pm to 4.45am).& recently no internet time, was thinking of some of my past classics. Best was probably the 190 Cosworth & M535 sharknose both 1987 bit heavy but great cars, modern would be my 2003 WRX sold after 30K from new year in her first year too expensive to run handled a dream...... and worst.....Alfa Romeo Arna enough said and current Fiat Multipla, gear stick continually pops out all the time, so embarassing ? Simon I will pm you re Italy......wish I could buy the Sport great price..... Sorry so little time on net these days. Any members miss some of their previous cars or regreted sales ?

And if I don't buck my ideas up there may be another VERY regrettable sale :( Title: Re: best and worst ? Post by: simon131 on May 02, 2009, 08:02:16 PM The worst car I ever owned was a 1985 C-reg red Citroen BX 1.6 petrol I had back in 1995, purchased in a moment of madness ::). Kept blowing the hydraulic pipes off the pressure pump and dumping HLM oil all over the road leaving me stranded miles from home, oil which operated the power steering, brakes and suspension - all on the same system :o ::)
Best car I ever sold (excluding any 131) was my 1998 Volvo S70 T5 CD manual. A real wolf in sheeps clothing and certainly not a Grandad's car! I sold it because I knew I'd end up not seeing my kids grow up, and would probably take others with me :-\ It was the quickest car I've ever owned and I loved it. ;D I PX'd it for my 2000 V-reg BMW 528i Sport Auto in 2004, which I also regret selling - but at least I should get first dibs when my brother sells it ;D 131 I most regret having to sell was my 2000TC Supermirafiori XPE 613 Y. Sold in 1991 to make way for a 1989 Tipo 1.6 DGT SX 5-door, but the 131 was totally shot, bodily and mechanically. Thing is it was the car that Wendy (my wife) and I did all our courting in ;) and we both cried when, after returning from a friends wedding, my Dad handed me the cash he got for it. :'( (I did know someone was coming to view it, but I never really thought it would be gone :-\). Car I most regret having to part with was my black 131 Sport, JPD 969V. Scrapped after the wife drove it into a parked Maestro ::) Every 131 I've owned since hasn't come up to the mark, although I'm warming to the Abarth ;D :D ;) Title: Re: best and worst ?
