There are loads of threads on the great and good of the cars owned by PHers, but I thought it would be funny to see the other end of the scale.
Let's see some photos of the rubbish stuff that PHers drive.
I'll start with my current car, an '09 Honda Jazz CVT!
My previous car wasn't that great either, 79k miles, auto, always broke down:

A car that hasn't moved for 14 months due to being broken down is pretty bad.

My 110k mile 2003 Ford KA run about will take a lot to beat. It's mostly rust, but still fun to drive.

Maybe one of the old school Micra owners will...

I think I had the worst! K11 Micra...Pretty much (to me) the antichrist to a petrolhead. Slow, wallowly, crap on fuel, unreliable, looked st, unsafe and incredibly uncool.


Still, that didn't stop me turning up to PH meets in it though wink

A Micra is that uncool its cool.

My first two cars were K11 Micras, loved 'em.
They do cope with anything you can throw at them and never ever break!
My first car, an '02 K11 1.0 did 60k with not a single issue beyond routine servicing and a puncture.

It's not an old car by any means, but the current run around is below and I have enjoyed getting some stick over it.

Pug 208 1.6 e-HDI (Allure trim)


It does what it needs to do and I've had mostly good experiences with Pug at least.

How about a 2004 Renault Clio 1.2 16v with over 150,000 miles.

Reliable, yes. I am so bored with it after over seven years.

Next year it is going and I promise to get something more PH !smile

What you didn't realise is that when you were nipping up to 60 on the NSL, the queue behind you was doing 40...feckin' micras!

I wish I'd taken a picture of it but I bought a Volvo 440 as a snotter to get me to and from the airport a few years ago.

It was proper crud, faded dark blue paint and I've no idea what teh inside was covered with but it stank.

Eventually realised that the MOT had expired a month after it actually had so gave it away as it would never have passed another MOT what with the door hanging off one hinge and the high quality repair I did to the exhaust when the tail box exploded...



...It didn't once let me down though!

It was replaced at very short notice with a Laguna that was a bit prettier but disasterously unreliable.
