The worst car I ever bought was a mk1, just awful, rotten, unreliable, overheated, no power.
Had to get two doors and a bonnet to get through its mot - and this was in 1995!
Mind you I only paid £150 for it and when the clutch went I had it towed to the garage and traded it in for £300.
I like to see them about but I'm scarred by ownership experience. Ahhhh
