anywebsite Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 My ex mate still running around in it. He says thanks No problem, thanks to him for shifting it & giving me £30 for it, the police wanted to charge me some stupid amount to have it moved. Would've been more than the car was worth for me to fix it after it got smashed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I bought a new Ford Tempo for my wife back in 83. Piece of junk. I was glad to get rid of it 7 years later. It's still on the road today. The only Ford Tempo left I'll bet Coudn't have been that bad then as its now 28 years old and for a Ford that is nothing short of a miracle. I suggest you get it back, it will be worth a fortune:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasThatWise Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 S reg Vauxhall Vectra from new (I know), in garage 7 times in 2 years, mechanics were useless, customer service guy was a nobhead (ex rover), handed it back after 2 years under hp agreement as it was worth less than I owed for it and the engine management light was coming on yet again.

Had to dismiss most of my driving technique and adapt to driving what felt like a lump of concrete on wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrogo Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hundi Lantra First one I had failed its test on shockers. Had the work done and retested. Within a few days after the retest the auto gear box wouldnt engage when I was trying to leave the carpark on Bradfield Road. Ended up causing a traffic jam and had to be pushed back into the carpark by two Hillsborough skinheads. To top it off, I went and bought a second Hundi Lantra because it had leather seats. owned it for two years. A garage did me a service and didnt screw the oil filter on properly so it peed oil on the works carpark, 6pm middle of winter, on breakdown cover , Shortley after the engine caught fire just as I got through the traffic lights on Holme lane. Yet again, I ended up been pushed into Hawley's Carpark by two Hillsborough skinheads. The best car I owned was a BMW 520i. Absolutely loved that car. Before I got shut I'de put decent alloys on it, had it resprayed and new all weather tires. Basically spent more money on it than the car was worth. Daft boy! In the end it was costing me £50 per week in petrol just to do 130 miles, and it was due a test in 7 weeks. Put it on ebay and got one bidder that didn't show. Ended up scrapping it and cashing in the tax disc. I still have tears about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
