Had to extensively road test a Porsche Boxster for various intermittant faults - its the most rattley car I have driven for a long time[/quote]


Your not kidding MIke I once owned a Boxster S and as mad as it may seem to some I much prefer the mini.

I agree with you on the MG ZR thing, I had a 120bhp ZR before the Mini and I hated it with a passion, rattling interior, sloppy gearbox and the worst clutch I've ever experienced. I should have learnt my lesson though as I had a Rover 25 before the MG !

As for worst car I have ever drove, definitly the City Rover I had as a courtesy car, what an absolute pile of XXXX that was!

not really a good chat up line tho is it "do you wanna come for a spin in my mum's boxster"

i drive my girlfriends fiat punto to take the dogs the park. it sounds like a £6 hair dryer out of tesco, you fear for your life driving around corners and 0-60 has a time of the 12th of never.
but i wont have a bad word said against puntos because my first car was a punto and never let me down

i also drove a mg 160 and my god what a heap of ****!!

Note to everyone - drive carefully in the fog, cos you might end up having to drive a Mirca as a courtesy car like me, if you crash your MINI! Not too bad to drive. Well, it is wheels....but everyone stares........ For all the wrong reasons!

Having a Micra as a courtesy car has traumatised me for life! Woeful machine.

Also I have the dis-pleasure of recently driving a 1.1 Toyota Yaris with the semi-working, sorry automatic, gear box, a Chrysler Neon [it does have comfy seats] and a Vauxhall Corsa [not the new one]. All belong to parents. The good news is I think I have talked my step-dad into buying and Alpha Romeo 147. Just hope he gets a good one and not a Monday am, Friday pm model.

I had the dubious pleasure of owning a 1988 Mk 1 Fiat Uno as my first car . I got it free as an MOT failure and managed to coax it back into health. I look back now with rose-tinted spectacles because it was my first car, but it really wasn't great! It had a lowly 1 litre engine putting out a poxy 45 horsepower, its tyres were skinnier than my bicycle and it started to take off at 70mph
My brother had it for a while after I got my MINI and driving it made me realise just how lucky I am and how much I love my Cooper
MmmmmmMINI power!
