'72 Ford Capri 3.0e (modified - bored out to 3.1, stage 3 heads, carb, cams, springs, shocks and more, loved that car).
BMW 318i (can't remember the year, was the older squarer shape)
'98 Daewoo Lanos
2000 Daewoo Nubira (don't know what was going on in my head for these two!)
'96 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Sport
'96 Peugeot 406 2.1 GLX Estate

They should of stuck to making microwaves and vhs players.

Shelby · « **Reply #4 on:** 24 May 2011, 14:37:17 »

To be fair, the Lanos was to all intents and purposes a Vauxhall with a different badge, even sharing very similar parts.

The Nubira was a year old when I got it and wasn't actually that bad a car on the whole, didn't really have any problems with it until I go posted to Wales (was in the Army at the time) and family stayed in Lincoln.

Doing that 600 mile round trip every week just killed it. Head gasket went, tracking constantly going out (got through nearly 3 pairs of front tyres in a year!), front bearings went, aircon packed up, front pipe of the exhaust broke, well the welded joint onto the bracket to the manifold broke, had it replaced for a new one, a few weeks later same thing happend, had it replaced under warranty, a month or so later it went again.

Last time it went was on the M5 after I finished in Wales, heading home. Got the AA out how put a couple screws in the pipe and then wired it up over the manifold and it stayed like that for 6 months until I got shot of the car.

A short list for 15 years of driving...

D plate Fiesta 1.1 last seen on its side on a forecourt!

G plate Golf 1.3
K plate Cavalier 1.8 GLS which I loved but couldn't find out what was wrong with it.

W plate Omega 2.2. A lovely car, just not a V6!

S plate Omega 3.0 MV6 which is rivaling my Cav as my fave car. A rust bucket which really ought to go!

I thought the Doloposhite Sprint was a complete bundle of fun! Strange to think that our sedate old miggies could now out-perform it in just about every department.

Mind you one thing they had that the Omega can’t match is a vinyl roof.

Those 1.6 Zetecs were spectacularly slow for a 16v engine.

How they managed to go from the 1.6 8v CVH to that and make the car slower in the process I really don't understand.

no, this was the 8v cvh! early mk5 pre smiley grill. never driven a 1600 zetec tbh to compare, but it was much slower then any 1.6 cvh id had in mk3/mk4 escorts/onions.
later on i had a onion 1.8 ghia si, and that actualy went alright, i think the 130ps onions were pretty rare. one of the only fords i enjoyed owning, i had bad luck with the rest lol

Ahh, OK. I think the Zetec was even less powerful on paper than the CVH.

1.8 with 130 cams was OK (or 2.0 cams from a Mondeo. Same cams IIRC

).
