1978 Austin princess. When it caught fire while waiting in traffic and the fire brigade had to come put it out i was actually glad to see it die.

None really,they all have their good points, not even the XJS Jaguar that seemed to cost me about $1000 a month in obscure repairs for the time I owned it; but it was a fine car and I loved driving it for the few days a month it was out of the hands of the mechanics.I even liked the little Austin 1300 automatic I owned until my sister in law fried it by driving it around for a week with the handbrake full on.And I really liked an Alfa 90 gold cloverleaf (I think it was a 3litre V6) I had for a couple of years although it constantly spat freezing water over my leg from the aircon - unfixable - among many other entertaining problems.But it went like a rocket, when it went.

Fiat Uno.That thing broke something every time I drove it, plus any time you drove through a puddle, it would have a five minute nap.Closely followed by a Subaru Leone wagon, where the roof actually fell off - rust, snapped on all the pillars on one side, and started flapping.

Fiat Uno, gave you leg cramps with the rediculous pedal position, then the head blew at 35,000 km.

1938 Ford V8 (never finished), about 5 t buckets (never finished them either), 2004 VW passat W8 (still have it) 1926 T coupe (still have that too) 1937 Chev sedan with 350 & glide (trans died next day), 1937 Nash sedan (the unfinished money pit and still not yet finished)
I also regret all the Jappas I have bought over the years. Should have just bought a nice, finished hot rod sedan & driven it for the past 20 years. It was a red 34 Ford four door from Tokoroa. Dammit, I was really dumb that week.

1980 pre HE XJS. Easily the worst car I have ever owned.

None, personally. Have owned a few down the years, from all 3 Aussie marques, to brit, euro and jappa-knees, and never really been let down. The old HQ wagon stripped its fibre timing gears once, but that's the only prob I can recall.
maybe it is as simple as maintenance, or not buying a cheap boy racer-type that has been thrashed.
