Shite You CAN'T STAND!

[freebird]

I cant say I hate anything in particular unless, of course, its being driven by this man....

Old duffer with a flat cap, generally accompanied by little old lady with a yorkie on her lap, paws on the dashboard looking out of the windscreen.

Car is usually a Rover 400, owned from new and in immaculate condition BUT they can be found driving any other make or model everywhere..........at 20 MPH.

[PaykanHunter]

I keep looking at this, and thinking Why? Why? Why?... I mean the Italians are supposed to be born with a "Sense of Style", and they came up with this?!...

 

[boobydoo]

Never liked these. From the hideous grey bumpers and dumpy,blob-like styling to the saucer shaped, vile wheel trims and creaky cliff-like dash.

 

Just nasty.

I sort of like it.

[PaykanHunter]

I sort of like it.

Aaaaarrrrrrggggggg!!!!!.....

[M'coli]

These fucking horrendous piles of ugly useless lumps of ugly fucking shit make me barf

 

I'm softening my stance on these - they keep the Nissan plant in the north-east in business, and that can only be a good thing really.

[eddyramrod]

If you look up "disgusting" in the dictionary, there's a pic of a Juke.... Well there certainly should be!

 

Meanwhile, taking the bait, and don't say you weren't warned...

This is the archetype, it's having to stand in for literally everything else that wears the same badge.

 

Same thing happening here. In each case I've picked the vilest model I can find to represent the whole family.

 

I know people love these, but none of those people are me!

 

Same applies here, I had one of these once. Once was enough.

 

Yes, the Mk2 as well. I must be an oddball...

 

People love Golfs too, my stepson is on his third now, I despair...

 

Yes, and Beetles. I must be so messed-up...

 

And back to the oval for this one. Not fit to lick the tyremarks of a Mk5 Cortina...

 

All these universally-loved names, and here I am dismissing them with no more than a sneer. Who is this man? Just someone who buys cars at the end of their life, usually, and/or gets grossly underpaid to drive commercials, or at least used to. Feel free to discuss, but don't go all Jehova's Witness on me and try to convince me of the merits of any of the above. These are my opinions and they fit me, I'm quite comfortable with them. I see no need to change.

Anything with interior door handles like this:

 

Instant turn off. There's something about them which crosses the line between cheap and cheerful and just plain bleak. If the handle was solid, I wouldn't mind them.

Agree with you 100%! It is Revolting!

[PaykanHunter]

But what BMW has done here is crime against humanity!.... What the HELL they were thinking really?!... I am ready to give up on them, very sad.

 

[PaykanHunter]

I went to Italy in 2001.

Can you guess what the taxi from the airport was?

Anyhow, they were everywhere and worked really well. I like them.

OK, it might be a clever package from inside, but from outside OMG!....

[eddyramrod]

I went to Italy in 2001.

Can you guess what the taxi from the airport was?

 

I went to Italy in 2002, and didn't use taxis at all, I always have a rental car waiting. On that trip it was a Punto, which was perfectly acceptable and therefore doesn't belong in this thread...

 

Actually it does, as it was silver, precisely the wrong colour to paint any car.

[PaykanHunter]

I think I just vomited in my mouth!...

 

[myglaren]

These fucking horrendous piles of ugly useless lumps of ugly fucking shit make me barf

 

 

Several of these have appeared on my street recently, all driven by tossers who couldn't park to save their lives.

Only outdone by a Chevrolet monstrosity the name of which escapes me at the moment. A kind of distorted brick on wheels.

[Felly Magic]

Anything with a BMW badge is a pile of donkeyshite now, and don't get me going about the GerMini, and all its vile offspring.

[PaykanHunter]

Agree! So I will get going here...

 

This "THING"! and apparently people in the Advert also thought it was so awful that they passed out!

 

[eddyramrod]

the GerMini, and all its vile offspring.

 

Humblest apologies, I forgot all about those! Couldn't agree more.

[scooters]

 

 

 

 

 

That's better.

 

 

heathen!

[PaykanHunter]

heathen!

What?!!!... How could the Mini be in that list?!... I don't get it!...

[Polystratus]

MINI Countryman - started seeing these and less said the better, now these

 

At one time was fairly netural about them but thanks to certain 'If it's not an MGB it's not a classic' idiots on the former Prac Classics forum, and the likes of Classic Monthly magazine 'OMG Everyone should own one and it's the ultimate classic to own' bilge' just can't stand them (apologies to anyone who owns one/likes them)

[dieselnutjob]

I would rather see any of that lot than a (double) pair of BMW headlamps filling my rear view mirror.

[dollywobbler]

Seems to be quite a bit of modern stuff in here. That's not shite! When it comes to actual, 100% ol' shite, I can't say there's anything I can't stand really. That's kind of the point of this place. If people hate it, I therefore love it. Even Metros. Even though the Metro I owned was about as reliable as a politician's promise.

But our disgust for new car Shite only reinforces our love for "true" older Shite, doesn't it?...

[PaykanHunter]

These Bloody PRIDES!!!... Every single Paykan was replaced with one of these, the entire Landscape of Iran is full of them now!

 

[ashmicro]

Hateful and badly designed. No redeeming features at all IMO. Proof that GM hates people.

 

 

 

Mogadon on wheels:

 

 

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzz. As bleak as a wet weekend in Ballycastle

 

 

 

Shit. Just Shit. Nasty injection moulded dash, and crap looking white backlighting. So boring it doesn't even have a colour.

 

 

 

and of course, these. Overrated crap. Issigonis was mental.

 

[Cavcraft]

Ford Ka, the 'original' one. Incredibly ugly, rusty, nasty, rattly pile of unadulterated wank. Every single one of them should be crushed immediately.

[Rusty Pelican]

As a commercial success you just cant knock these , loads of people love them , Chris Evans has just bought one FFS .

However as a car they are leaky , noisy , rusty , uncomfortable , engine is a boat anchor and they are just hateful, Had one once ,

never again .

[DSdriver]

Mainly because my geography teacher had one. He was useless and did nothing to spur my latent interest in maps, charts and navigation which I discovered later.

Also, it is a nondescript blob with no redeeming features.

I bet most of you don't even remember what it is.

[M'coli]

Re the Issigonis Mini: I disagree about the commercial success, they never made much profit for BMC despite the vast numbers sold!

[nottinghamphil]

ANY vehicle by Volkswagen, Audi or BMW.

 

The biggest pile of shite has to be the VW camper ( Bay window or T25 ) , Overpriced scene crap.
