These are really nice cars - but anyone got a parents car they really wouldn't want to be seen in

Hmmm, well my dad drives a K reg 309 diesel with 167k on the clock with the original clutch. He has just got 65mpg out of the thing, his idea of a laugh is to see how many mpg he can get out of the crate. Apart from the obvious horrificness of the thing there is actually no rust/dents anywhere on it, its actually in good nick. It also sounds exactly like a tractor.

My mum drives a J-reg Cavalier 140k, again original clutch. Rust on the arches, strange squeaks and generally concerning knocking noises as it goes down the road. Its even worse than the pug.

LOL, and I bet I know the only one you've driven!

Dad - Rover 820i
Mum - Rover 214i Mk3
Step Dad - Skoda Superb 1.9 TDi

Not ashamed of any. Step dad is getting a Saab 9-3 as his next company car, dad is getting an MG ZT 190 next.

My mum COULD have bought a 200Vi but went for a damn 8v 1.4

 

[Rilot]

My dad drives a 1996 Nissan Micra 1.0 (And can't find the indicators)
My dad rides a 1980 MZ Simpson 50cc (with gardening gloves and a 1980 open face helmet that's been dropped more times than I care to remember )
My mum drives a 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.2 (And forgets to change gear)

My step-dad had a couple of good cars. A Rover P6 3500S and a Rover SD1 2600 SE.

I'm the only one with any petrol-head genes in my family. It was a sad day when my first car was more powerful and faster than any car my dad had ever owned.

 

[PeterNem]

Mum drives a Maxda RX8
Dad rides a Ducati 916
I drive a Mondeo Mk3
Brother drives a Toyota Corolla
Gran (lives with us) drives a 55 plate Fiesta (not pictured)

 

[Lopéz]

Mum drives this, a Limited Edition 205 Gti (1.9)
Neil.

A genuine Limited Edition if it has full leather. Makes a change, every man and his dog with a Miami/Sorrento 205 GTi calls it a "Limited Edition" when it's blatantly untrue! The LE ones all had full leather and PAS amongst other things. Looks like a non-sunroof model too? Nice car.

My dad has always had very strange taste in cars and drives this heap:

I am embarassed to be seen in it and I'd be suprised if anyone can guess what it is.

My mum failed her test four times in two different countries after having had a total of 430 lessons in twnety years. She has quite rightly decided to give up learning. (She's not actually allowed to take another test in Switzerland until she has a psychological examanation as it's the law if you fail too often)

 

[t_aitch]

Mum drivers a 1989 Toyota Corina I 1.8
Dad drives a Chrysler PT Cruiser (Lives in the US)

Would be more embarrassed to be in my dads car than my mums tbh.

I drive a 1999 ford festa.

Ahaha we have a winner!

 

[D4VE]

An awful Toyota Carina E.
He was asked if he was a taxi the other day by some people who genuinely wanted one - was damn embarressing. Should be enough for him to sell it, but he has no interest in cars.
Sadly its very reliable, if it wasnt he'd get a new car.

Still, I hardly ever travel in it anyway as I dont live with my parents and have my own car.

My dad still drives a 1990 Vauxhall Senator 24v 3.0. Lovely car (although showing its age a bit now), but I'd couldn't be seen in it because I wouldn't possibly ever get insurance on it
