My old Viva HB
That's when cars were built with a 4 year rust warranty - they guaranteed they fall apart after 4 years....My 1965 Morris 1100, what a f***ing rot box.

(cringes with embarrassment) both the Metros. What the hell went wrong with the British motor industry?
I remember my dad having a Viva - It's not one that sticks in the memory.....
Scarily, I heard adverts on the Radio for new Vauxhall Viva's recently...
Yeah I did too, you've just reminded me to search online for a pic
I think most of us have bought a car at some time that we've regretted for some reason. None of us go out to buy a pup, but still we get caught sometime...for different reasons....
Only had one metro - an MG. That was good for its day, until Gail shortened by several feet. That's another story....
Forgot about my wifes Pugs 306's. She wrote off 2 of them in 6 weeks and made it a set of 3 three months later.
Not going to buy another Pug, and no, she don't drive either of my cars

What - she disliked them so much she wrote them off. I hope she walked away from each of those!Forgot about my wifes Pugs 306's. She wrote off 2 of them in 6 weeks and made it a set of 3 three months later.

Gail had a 405 - It saved our lives! I bought a 3L V6. Super car.

Yep. Divorced/repossessed/skint. No excuse, really. And one was indeed an MG version. Could well have been recycled into a fridge near you, so beware all white goods.You mean you bought ANOTHER one?

First one she was stationary in a queue of traffic and a bus ran into the back of the car. The car bent in the middle, it looked like a camel
We got another one and she was taking our boys to play football. She spun on a bend on a narrow lane, went up a bank and flipped over. Our boys got out and called me. They were only about a mile from home so I rushed to them. She was still in the drivers seat held in by her seat belt. Anyway, fire brigade came and cut the top off to get her out.
So ..... we bought another one and only a few weeks later she drove up to the midlands to see her sister and was stationary again when a lorry hit her from behind and bent this car too
The next car I got her was a Volvo 440. I looked around for a half track but couldn't get one in our price range
Do you always go out separately?First one she was stationary in a queue of traffic and a bus ran into the back of the car. The car bent in the middle, it looked like a camel

I think I would
Lets just say I'm a nervous passenger and leave it at thatDo you always go out separately?

Every company car I've ever had, and I'd line the whole sorry lot up for them (except my 120d because that was awesome!). Should make for quite a spectacle with the amount I had...
Only ever had one company car - a vauxhall astra 1.7D. They did away with the scheme after that thankfully. Thats when I got the 3L V6 405.
Can I put the Astra on the top of the pile?
