lol.. I've had way too many shitters, including a mini-based fishpond that was dragged out of a hedge... but I digress...
The one car I really regret buying was a Fiesta mk2 1.4s.

I painted myself into a corner by catching a train to southampton then a taxi to some farm in the middle of nowhere.
I almost had to buy it just so I could get home.
Drove home with no tax, test, etc..etc.. and thick black smoke billowing out the pipe all the way home.
