The 2CV while I wouldn't own one. Isn't really that embarrassing.

Now imagine a 6ft tall, 20+ stone bloke. Driving around in a yellow Fiat Cinquecento sporting. With a front seat that had broken requiring me to drive it home with my legs up near my ears as it was stuck forward.

It was not a fun drive. Basically it was exactly like a scene from the inbetweeners. Only I was fat as well.

Probably my most embarrasing... It was shite! I'm pretty sure I used to brap it around everywhere due to its very loud Baileys dumpvalve lol.
 
I had a rover 45 - paid 130 quid for it... Put 50k on it in 18 months. Never laid a spanner on it apart from using a baked bean tin to repair a 'slight' blow in the exhaust.
It was a shed. Everyone I know took the piss by calling it Gilbert...
The drivers window didn't work without falling off the runners.
There was more rust then bodywork. But for some reason it kept going lol.

I passed my first test in one of them!!

My instructor had a wooden leg and used to whack it with his walking stick when I wasn't paying attention!

Can't get any worse than an old Rover or Corsa IMO. Everything else is at least a little bit cool because of its age or rarity.

Renault 21 savanna, pretty embarrassing to drive but for £250 it was mint and had only done 40k best vehicle for surfing though and the ride was smooth, soaked up bumps better than my Landy!! Came to its demise when I ripped the whole side off driving a bit to fast through a narrowing in the road with a bus coming the other way, she still drove straight but looked even worse!

My steering wheel vibrated so much at 60mph it phased out of our space time continuum,
but when I got it to 80mph it went back to normal.

The first time my headcase best mate got in the car he screamed 'F*CKING SLOW DOWN MAN'!
Because the car was rattling that much, I told him I wasn't even doing 30 and he said,
'You've got to get rid of this car mate'! lol

Fpmsl! My mate had a 1.4 sport metro or something! It was during the modding years. This thing had so much stuff stuck to it, it would go over 45mph! Mental thing!

A good friend had a mk1/2 Polo fox! That was embarrassing! Struggle to think of any redeeming features barring the smell of soap bar!

Not a car I've owned, but on the first day of Sixth form my dad dropped me off in this. Not even the same on the left and right side, different shapes etc.
