sdkrc Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Is there a car on here that falls into the category of affordable shite that no one here has owned or drive ? With people like @wuvvum I feel that's unlikely but I wonder if it's possible to be the first. I'm not talking about some shitey mk3 Golf Rolling Stones edition but a full car.

I remember getting a lift in one of those when I was about 13/14 years old. A red one. I kind of liked it…… does that count? the owner of that Nubria went on to join the local Labour Party and ran for Labours seat in Stoke on Trent. Luckily we are conservative. Dodged a bullet there.

RayMK Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 @Split_Pin: You can cross off the R12. I've owned a 12TS and a TL back in the 1980s. Also owned a Renault 20 when the 12s died. Split_Pin, sdkrc, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done all of those and many more, and I know @Bobthebeard bought the Sable. Being old, I had most of these when they were worthless and still managed to lose money on most of them!

RayMK Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 "..... affordable shite that no one here has owned or drive(n)" needs a tighter definition. MK1 Escorts were affordable and shite in the 1970s/80s. Veyrons may be regarded as shite by billionaires who can easily afford the odd £800K for a 2nd hand runabout. DKW Junior? Lloyd Arabella?

What about a VW Type 3 Karmann Ghia? A Leyland EA? A Commer Walk-Thru A Renault 15. I’ve owned 2 R15s ( and a 17 Gordini) . A Mk 1 bought for parts for my 17 , it was actually in better condition, but I loved the 17. I sold the wheels and weird chrome 3 spoke trims to my Mum’s neighbour for his R12 estate. A few years later I picked a Mk2 up from Letchworth auction for £60, my Dad had it for his Mrs and ran it fo 3 years until my brother ( then aged 15) crashed it into a ditch. Never owned a Leyland EA, but did have an FG Tipper once which me and a mate started a rubbish clearance company with , disastrously. Not the actual truck but about as shabby. sdkrc, Vantman, Asimo and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to “rent” a Nubira Motability car for a carton of fags off a cab office controller , I was even on the insurance !

Anybody manage to own/drive/look at a Seat Ronda back in the day? A colleague traded-in his Datsun Cherry and bought a brand new Seat Malaga, a booted relation of the Ronda. He proudly gave three of us a drive around one lunchtime - to silence. We could not think of anything complimentary to say. The Cherry was nice.
