This is a difficult one ... like everyone else, it seems, I've driven a fair few horrors. Was it the rented Morris 1100 on Malta, which made me observe the island's speed limit by running out of oil pressure at 50 mph in top? Was it the horrible old FE Victor I bought from a friend, with six weeks' MOT left on it (and no chance of passing ever again), which owed me absolutely nothing because it came with a full tank, six months' tax (most of which I could claim back when I scrapped it) and a virtually unused pair of £50+ shoes which I found in the boot? Was it the Commer Walk-Through van with a Diesel engine, whose maximum speeds in the gears were 5, 15, 25 and 45 mph, and which I was expected to drive on motorways? It wasn't, certainly, the Polski-Fiat I rented in Poland, which was awful by Western standards but no worse than any other 125p (crossply tyres were a bad idea in the wet, though), and it wasn't the E93A Ford Popular I once drove for three miles with a flat front tyre without knowing ... I'll probably remember a few more later, as well.
