Most embarrassing car you've owned?

[v15ben]

A change from the pictures of nice cars, interesting projects and amazing cars, how about the most embarrassing car you've ever owned?

I was out with a mate the other day and he reminded me of a previous car of mine when we lived in Korea.
Imagine 4 lads driving about in this:

Had it for nearly a year, treated it like crap and managed to sell it for almost what I paid!

So what has been your most embarrassing car then?
Up to you what embarrassing means!

 

[Ray Gin]

Clio 182.

Shots fired.

 

[McGherkin]

Clios.

 

[DaveDreads]

Clio 172, faggoty little woman's car.

 

[Addicted]

Ford KA while my 306 had fully died. Oh, and I owned a Corsa B for about 2 weeks, never even drove it!

 

[MicKPM]

I believe it would be an H plate Mk1 Nissan Micra in Gold with matching beige bumpers and fetching brown velour interior.

My bike has wider tyres

 

[Bluebeard]

Anything mk1 corsa. My god they are s**t cars. And the problem is, when you drive them, people think you think you look cool!!

f**king dreadful cars, dreadful image and definitely the most embarrassing car I've driven.

 

[Kane.]

Opel corsa

 

[Gavin.]

Clio 182.

Shots fired.

Mate, you owned a Saxo :tongueclosed:

 

[Adamm.]

Only ever owned saxo vtr's and clio sports so has to be the second vtr I had. Silver and slammed with black vts rims lol.

 

[Cliotoby]

I once had a Micra (new shape - circa 2010) diesel as a courtesy car which I had been driving about in for a month while the clio got fixed. My god I was so embarrassed to begin with. I absolutely rinsed the thing and gave it death and the thing is it actually handled quite well in fact I enjoyed driving it at times.

I used to dream about owning a GSI when I was 16 (1995).

I presume it didn't drive as nicely as it looked?

Correct. They drive just as s**t as a 1.0.

I can't think if any redeeming features... s**t s**t cars.

I loved my red top corsa. Had leather seats, funky white wheels (speed lines or something) and was rapid. (I was 18).

All of what you just typed means nothing to me.
They're still shite..

 

[Herr Flick]

Meh.
Mine was an asained out white old vectra dual fuel thing. f**king hated owning it.

 

[Advikaz]

The Corsa VXR company car(s) I had.

F*cking dreadful.

 

[deadmau5]

I had a Panda 100hp. It was either embarrassing or cool depending on who you asked.

Was that a Corsa A or B HANS?The ignorance level on here is incredable.I don`t know what a Red Top is??????Daniel,you should be ashamed.
HANS,did you run it on throttle bodies or was it a straight LET transplant.

 

[JakeyCUK]

I wrote off a car 2 months after buying it and was only tpft. We had a spare car that was ready for scrapping so I potted about in that for 8 months while I saved for another. It was a 1998 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0l in a royal green type colour. Both front doors had been replaced with pink ones off a scrapped Corsa with the intention of getting them resprayed which never happened. The lights flashed when you indicated, the handbrake cable snapped the first week of my using it. It had flower etchings all over the body where my mum had put flower stickers on it and removed them. The boot used to pop open when driving and the exhaust had separated at the back box so it made sure to turn heads. Punishment for crashing my car I guess!

 

[STEVE.M]

Opel corsa

Opel Corsa A is a Nova,add modified Red Top with 200 bhp+ and Clio`s are history performance wise.
Maestro turbo`s were good too,rust buckets though,shame that all that`s left of them is the 11mm nut you used to adjust the boost with.

Where did I say I didn't know what a red top is?? :S

Ive owned several cars with red tops in.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I had a brown Mazda 626 for a few months when the cambelt on my mondeo went.

Now that was embarrassing at 18 years old!

A Clio with 200bhp+ would leave a standard clio for dust too. What's your point?!

 

[Chi]

At the time probably one of these although I'd love one now

Here I think.

Where did I say I didn't know what a red top is??

I`ve owned several cars with red tops in.

Where they fun ?

 

[..Jack..]

Not had anything embarrassing but people kept thinking I was 70 because I drove a Skoda Fabia 1.2

 

[Herr Flick]

STEVE.M WTF?

 

[STEVE.M]

Wow that`s a poor man`s Datsun Mustang/Capri.180B based ?

 

[Tim.]

A Talbot Samba 'Style'.

974cc, 4sp, no headrests, on a C-plate.

Had the girls gushing... not.

 

[Cub.]

[Bluebeard]

Here I think.

I was joking with Rich. He (Since i've known him) has had RS6's, Range Rovers, STI imprezas... I was a little taken back that he had a Corsa.

They were not fun no. I had a mk2 Astra Which was pretty good! The Corsa

I'd love an MI16'd one of them!! Could make people look utterly stupid at the traffic lights!

 

[STEVE.M]

STEVE.M WTF?

STEVE.M WTF?

Vauxhall marketed the Corsa A in the UK as the Nova.

Dont even ask why I have that pic on file

Lol.
Everyone had to have a first car that was s**t. I paid £300 for it with a fucked head gasket. I was quite proud of myself with that car. I 'literally' blew up the engine.

 

[Spinksy]

This tbh

[Typhoon]

My first car was awful.

Holes absolutely everywhere, couldn't even fit a second passenger in, let alone any shopping.

Everytime you tried to break you used to end up losing some of the rubber from the bottom of your shoes.

No electrics, no PAS, nothing.

The thing didn't lock! The amount of times I'd go out to it in the morning and someone else was just sat in there.

The paintwork was heavily weather damaged.

Was glad when I got rid of it to be honest.

Here is the last picture of it;

 

[Addicted]

Haha. God I had one of them too. Doing backwards rolls were hilarious.

 

[Coby.]

Only had 3 cars so guess it'd be my first car.

Corsa B 1.2 LS.

In light metallic blue with fetching interior, I loved that bloody car at the time.

Not my car but this colour.

Lexus Lights
Lowered on Apex springs
Peco Big Bore 4 exhaust
Best part was Compomotive MO alloys.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

2CV
