British cars that leak oil

And it didn't improve when the foreigners got involved either, Avril's dad had a Honda Legend (built by Rover in the UK, actually quite a good car) that left a stain at the end of his drive that my Landrover would have been proud of.

ahh yes the Varajet carb, yet another reason why fitting the RB Nissan engines was sooo desirable for Holden at that time.

Morris or Austin 1100. You would think the engine was going to leap out ahead of the car when changing gears sometimes.Horrible cars

Morris Marina. So obvious it's a cliche by now. But still very true.
It should have resulted in the UK being sanctioned, and a new UN directive banning the UK from ever making cars ever again.

A lot of the chinese stuff hitting the market now, rust buckets with poor motors and a tendency to fall apart at any speed, oh and they leak.

Chinese cars. The new form of population control.

Bollocks, it's a highly engineered gradual oil change system. By replacing half a litre of oil every 500 miles you ensure a constant supply of fresh oil to the engine, with the added benefit of rust prevention on the subframe and inner guards. Like many genius ideas it failed to catch on, to the detriment of the motor industry.

Name calling! A Clown!I'm crushed.Must have taken you all day to come up with that one.
Seriously though, those cars are a total POS.I would happily own any one of those 70's/80's Eastern-Bloc compressed cardboard cars before I'd own a CRX.

Trabant, followed closely by DKW F2 Junior. Then possibly Wartburg.

Austin Maxi, I owned one and it was hilariously bad. A great idea but terrible execution.

Not to mention bloody dangerous, I pulled a fuel tank out of one of those first generation CRX's and realised after looking at the general construction of the thing underneath that the tank was a structural part of the car.This was the model with the pop up lights and a glass sunroof in it that was most of the roof!
