    Worst car i purchased was off another auction site, cost me £501.00 for a 1998 Ford Escort 1300, had full years MOT good condition and I thought worth the money I won the auction.

    Got all the way to Hull to collect the car, I live in Bedfordshire so that was 1 hell of a coach trip to get it. Saw the car was ok I suppose. Stereo didnt work as was claimed. No mention of the rusty wheel arches and home made spray paint to the rear passenger door. But I thought at least its cheap and got mot.
    6 months later things started to go wrong. Hand brake cable, engine needed skimming, valves, breaks & drums, the exhaust was fun it had a hole in it near the engine and would sound like a shot gun, never seen so many people run & hide. heh heh, and all sorts of other stuff. I took the car for many estimates as to costs of repair and the chapest I got was £900.00. I thought damn thats an expensive car. The guy who repaired the car checked into the MOT and found it to be stolen from a garage in HULL, well surprise surprise, just had to be me the mug for buying it.
    Anyway next I know the guy who I purchased the car from was in national papers as his ex fiancee had been murdered.
    Damn im glad i didnt notify DVLA for the false MOT. He may have got hold of me next.

    I still have the car now and plodding along just fine but i do have my suspicions that the car may be called "Christine" from the thriller film about an evil car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A lesson for everyone out there dont matter what the sellers feedback is, make sure you can view the car first and get the AA or RAC to check it over. Coz my car was basically illegal to drive, even though I didnt know at the time. I could have gone to court and been charged etc.
    So if seller refuses to allow you to do these things report them. As I have found out a car is more than a car it can also be a death trap that the seller doesnt want you to know about.

    Renault 5 gt turbo was my worst car and the best one is the current SL55 AMG Mercedes.

    Have also enjoyed cosworth and Audi RS models too.

    I still don't have a car yet, but I'd love to get a car like this:

    I don't really understand what's going on in this clip, but I love this car. Does anyone know what type of car this peppet, Fash, is driving?

    ive got a vauxhall cavalier 2.0ltr auto at the moment and its just done over 85,000 miles and its holding up pretty well. vauxhalls have always been good to me as ive had a fair few. my worst car was a peugot 309.yuk!
