[warren t claim]

Although most of my past, and indeed current significant other have all been very tolerant of my somewhat unusual taste in transport I really can't remember any of them actually owning shite cars themselves. Most of them have owned pretty mundane female friendly cars like Fiestas, Metros and the usual French offerings. The only ones that we would call shite were things like Protons and Maestros that at the time were more shit than shite.

 

So what's the most shite car your other halves have ever owned? Have you ever been swept off your feet by a young lady with a Beige Talbot Horizon? Been besotted by a Nymph with an Austin Maxi?

 

ALA. Discression assured!

[M'coli]

The wife had a 309GR when I met her, with about 90,000 on the clock - sold on at 140,000.

 

The thread title reminded me of The Trampies' song "Ice Queen":

I saw you in town yesterday

You were sitting in your car

Well it could have been an Austin A40 Girl

But of course it was a Jaguar

They're never old enough to drive.

For some reason I can't find a woman to live with me in the Vanette

[Negative Creep]

Hmmm good thinking, after all I already have a pump for the airbed...............

[VWPowered]

2 x 2 door Vauxhall Nova's

1 x Mini automatic (late 70's vintage)

 

rest a la Hirst.

[Pillock]

One of my ex's drag races an 11 second 1959 Beetle..... in fact I got my VW thing from her. The rest have just seen cars as a mode of transport, sadly....

[Rod/b]

I met my wife when she was preparing to drive a Lada Riva estate across europe with a couple of friends on a banger rally.

[carlo]

I've always bought Mrs Carlo shite so she's had no option but to drive it. She's had:

 

Citroen Visa (no 2nd gear)

Renault 9 GTL (overheated)

Renault 12 (fuel leak)

Citroen GSA (rust and more rust)

Peugeot 305 GTX (gorgeous, even she agreed on that one)

[dollywobbler]

When I met my wife, she owned a Citroen AX. It had clearly never been washed and the headlamps fell out when you went over bumps. I forced a modern Rover 414 'bubble' on her but she rebelled and flogged it to buy a Mini - in City povo spec obviously. She previously owned an MG Metro, which she killed by failing to check the engine oil level...

 

My previous girlfriend came to my attention when she bought a beige Maestro. Sadly, she was nuts - which she proved by replacing it with a Fiat Punto which somehow needed a new clutch, new brake discs, new pads, new shoes and new drums at a miserable 31,000 miles.

[HillmanImp]

I gave my ex a Hillman Imp to tootle around in. She had it for several years after we split up but sold it to a student to do up instead of me just to piss me off I think.

 

Its never been on the road since.

 

Saying that, the amount of time its taken me to do my one, it probably would not have been done if I had bought it too.

[Mr Lobster]

Mrs L had a nice '99 Suzuki Alto but that got sold 18 months back and she uses the Toledo now. Shes firmly into the concept of running older stuff now, if I suggested going out and buying a new car on finance (not that I will obviously) there would be major trouble!

 

Ex Mrs L was considerably different. Wanted a new car every couple of years - spunked £21k (of her money fortunately) on a new Megane CC in 2004 just before we split up. Thank god we did.

[Station]

An old girlfriend had a 70's Celica, I've got a pic somewhere.

[messerschmitt owner]

when I met her she had a Lada,

 

her car history from there goes like this:

 

Lada Riva - white

Vauxhall PA Cresta - grey and silver

Lada Riva - blue

Vauxhall Cresta PA - yellow and white

Toyota Hiace Devon - white

Seat Toledo - grey

Fiat 126 x3 - all white

Fiat Punto Cabriolet - green

Toyota Hiace Devon - white

Vx Astra Convertible - maroon - which is probably the most shite of the above!

 

before we were going out, she had a

1942 Willys Jeep - green obviously!! - she could borrow from her dad

1957 E Series Wyvern - blue

Skoda Estelle - red

Lada Riva - beige

[mnde]

One previous girlfriend drove a light metallic blue Rover 213 on a C plate... (in 1996) and that was before I'd passed my test so she used to come and pick me up

 

My most recent ex drove a Rover 100 Kensington. I ribbed her by calling it a Metro. She'd laugh and say "It's not a Metro, it's a Rover!". I even took a Polaroid of a slightly older one in the same colour that said Metro on the back, and gave it to her with the caption "Rover?" just to take the Michael

Previous partner (The one before my wife!) owned Austin Maxi, Austin Metro, Dacia Duster.

 

Current one used to own a Renault Fuego.

[whitevanman]

The current Ms WVM had a Y reg Mk3 Escort...XR3i look alike...it was a piece of shit, gave it to her ex and got her a Mk1 Fiesta, then a Mk5 Cortina, then she had my Sierra of me...now she gets whatever I can find thats V cheap as she kills cars with a frightning regularity none of the others ever had cars..........

[Cavcraft]

My missus can't drive but a cracking old boy at her last job gave her a really mint 23,000 miles Chevette.

Women being whet they are she had about 4 half arsed attempts at learning to drive in it before giving up.

 

I then got her a nice Cav Mk3 2.0GLi auto to learn in. She did really well for a weeks then jacked it in

[Pete-M]

My ex g/fs have tended to own average shite. One had a brown Nova 1.2L, followed by an SR, which was replaced by a new AX 1.0.

 

Another had a Mk2 Fiesta Ghia, which made way for an ex-cab Mk3 Cav. Not my choice, obviously.

 

One used to just drive top spec Fiestas. Last one she had was a 1.6 Ghia X.. That went well.

she's pnly 5ft 2", but likes cheap old barges, with all the toys............just as well really!

[trigger]

Mrs. Trigger had a M reg Cora 1.5D Merit when i met her but she didn't have a drivers licene, She sold it soon after passing her test for a Ka.

 

My girlfriend before her about 10 years ago has a F reg Nova 1.0 in Terracotta, It was a mint old thing that her nan had gave her, She drive to and from London every day in it.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

The first, and only other Ms_Bol started her driving career in a Harvest Gold Marina 1.3 coupe, (with drums on the front I might add), then progressed on to a SEAT Ibiza 1.5 SXi, then a Nissan 100Nx, then we split up so she probably started getting some decent motors instead of shite. Do I win £5?

[The Moog]

Missus Moogy is developing the taste. She has got a K11 Micra with added rust!

 

She is well into my new 323 gti and thinks modern cars have no personality..

An old girlfriend had a 70's Celica, I've got a pic somewhere.

Girlfriends? We'll be here all day if it's to include GFs FFS. My GF list is as long as my shite list!

I'm starting to flinch slightly when I see that Capri picture.

[trigger]

Have you even got any photos of the ex-GF's Norm?
