Thread Name: BS: British Cars!
Subject: RE: BS: British Cars!
I once owned a 66 Vauxhall Viva that was a fun little car to drive. It only had about 50 horses but it stuck to the road like glue and would leave those VW bugs in the dust. I traded it for a sibling car, a new 69 Envoy Epic. That was the worst piece of shit that I ever owned! It burned exhaust valves and blew head gaskets like you wouldn't believe and started knocking (wrist pin) before 30,000 miles. It would cross-fire if it would start at all in damp weather and I used about a can of ignition spraw a month. In the end I traded the damn thing in on a Datsun.
