    Morris Austin 1800, i think its called that anyways it has hydro elastic suspension, dad used to sell them, my mate in college after having a drunk chick put him throught the windshield of his 180B (dont ask this guys an idiot) he got one of these things, he let me drive although i dont know why i bothered, i suppose because im young and havent driven many different cars. it had a steering wheel the size of a 44 gallon drum lid and about as thick too, completely gutless auto (colum shift from memory) bench seat, the "hydro-elastic suspension" was a bit lacking in the actual suspension department, there was something wrong with the fuel system or exhaust or something so it had a flaming exhaust! Also a 85 ford falcon, a couple of canadian mates were living in Aus for a few months, this thing was on LPG, had no power steering, bench seat coloum shift, only 2 outta 3 gears worked, the timing was out so it was completetly gutless and they took this thing from canberra right around victoria south australia up through the red centre around into queensland and there it stayed not because it died but becasue one of the crashed into some1 else and they just sold it to a wreckers and bussed it back to canberra,

    those were the good old days. *sigh*

    The 206 HDi is a great car ! The HDi engines are great, I would certainly prefer the 206 over any Opel Omega (especially the 2.5 diesel with the crap 142bhp BMW engine). Drive a Ford Escort once, then you will say that the 206 is heaven

    Hard for me to think of...I haven;t driven that many cars, but I'll tell you the 2k4 Corolla S loaner car we had was a real piece. No balls. Hard suspension. Not very refined in the least; I'd rather have my old Focus than that thing, and it wasn't a terribly inspiring car. At least it rode a little short of harsh and was probably at the end of its shakedown so nothing else would have broken.

    The sh*tiest car ive ever driven has to be my moms 95 Ford Windstar, the steering is to jerky, and the gas is waaaay to sensitive for me. my uncles 72 Lincoln Conntinental is better and its like 15ft long!!! The worst car in the world has to be a mazda 323, we had one as a rental and its the biggest P.O.S u will ever see, the seats sucked, the stering was almost nonexistent, and u had u had to have super human strentgh to shift the bloody thing. the second i saw it i said "oh shit, this is gonna be one crappy ride".
    I dont know who invented speed bumps, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't German.
    Speed doesnt kill, its the suden stop at the end.

    I had never seen this post. I think I'll kill you Rijoh! I have a 206 2.0 HDI. I can only forgive you because you've never driven another car.

    Anyway, tell me: It was your worst drive but it was still great, right?

    He has just turned 18 and the 206 is his lessons vehicle. I told him that it was going to be easy, because you don't need the throttle to get going, just gently release the cliutch. He agreed to that but still hated the car!

    Lucky boy!! My lessons vehicle was a MKI Opel Corsa, with a broken suspension and steering hard as hell!

    I had a Fiat 124, then the car of the year, now only known as the Lada.

    At least it was a RWD, wich meant you could park easily and make very fast u-turns.

    I drove a few times (before i had license) a 128. It was 124's FWD decendent.

    My father and mother had their lessons in an original VW beetle.

    My father had a 128, then a 131, a 131 Supermirafiri (2000 TC) then a Tipo, a Punto a Brava and finally a Stilo (We inherited that car when he died last year). His first car was an 850 Coupe, that came just after I had got my license.

    Wow! Nice first car! Just like mine. It had 2 or 4 backlights?
    He was definitely a Fiat lover. It's shame Fiat has been a deception for Fiat lovers since 20 years ago or so.

    The Supermirafiori was a very fast car very used by the undercover portuguese policeman in the 80's. Understated and ugly! I'd love to own a 131 Abarth.

    We had a first series 1967 coupe, extra was the big rev counter, it really was a hoot to drive.

    in 1967 cost about 60 euro additionally. The standard right hand dial was a bit barren.
