Are any cars so rubbish they're cool?

[morgrp]

Followed a mock Del Boy 3 wheeler the other day for a few miles on the way to work and both me and my mate in the car deemed it to be both hilarious but at the same time quite cool. By that rationale, are any cars so terrible they have become cool?

Nissan Figaro springs to mind, ultra camp and ultra crap in my opinion with its miserable little 1.0 engine and autobox - but I can't help thinking they are amazingly cool little cars. Same with Citroen 2CVs in my opinion

Talbot Rancho. So cool it hurts.

Fiat seicento sporting.

About as slow as a manatee with downs syndrome, but great fun!

Bugger, you have owned one and therefore know better than I. However as a non- owner, and until I drive one, I think they are cool.

But, I also think a Morris Ital is cool.

I'll turn the lights off as I leave.

I think that's for the best.

On the subject of BL cars, surely this is cool?

A car with a crap 80's talking dash and twin webbers MUST be cool in my opinion:

Based on what? What you heard down the pub or read on a forum?
It was a car for it's time. Made for the US market, that went & handled well. Early ones had issues but later ones were much better. They are actually very comfortable.
