What’s the most stupid car you ever owned?

@Frederic I restored a silver Opel GT 7-8 years ago. I’ve seen plenty in magazines but it’s the only one I’ve seen in real life. I loved how the headlights flip round in a circle rather than just pop up and down. Very cool car. I must check and see if I still have photos of the build. 

Manta is a cool car too but rust got most of them so you don’t see many now. They aren’t worth as much as Escorts so there are less people restoring them. The 400 was the dogs danglies with the flared arches. Still a lot of people rallying them in Ireland.

Corsa was called Nova in UK/Ireland until the mid 90s. When the Corsa B came out, the name changed from Nova to Corsa. I have had a lot of both. Nearly got killed in one. Was parked nicely at the side of the road and a truck decided to reverse through the windscreen then over the roof. Said he never felt a thing. 

Ive had a few kadettes/astras over the years too. Always had bad luck with them too. 

First car was a Mk3 Cavalier when I was 10/11, used to race it around the fields at home until the engine blew up.

Favourite GM I had has to be a 2 door Chevette saloon. Someone I knew was scrapping a shell so I built it over a month just for fun. Was super ratty but manual, rwd, welded diff, what’s not to love? That ended up in the bottom of a culvert. I remember asking the scrap man to come and pick it up. He came and looked and said how the hell am I supposed to get that out of there?

Im a true blue ford guy but I’ve had an unhealthy amount of Opel/Vauxhall’s.
