Most reliable/abused car you ever owned/couldnt kill!

<< < (9/9)

Range Rover Blues:
Erm, every MkII Escort I've owned.

I could run one on a shoestring (or as we called it, a student grant), part were easy to get and cheap, 3 spaaners fit nealry the whole car and every time I've blown on up it kept going and got me home/where I was going.

I exploded my 1600 on the M1 and it got me to work in Hull, 60 miles away and only 10 minutes late.  One pipston burned through, onother one full of oil as a result and it kept going 'till I hit the first traffic light.

Fingers crossed I don't blow up my latest one.

drove all the way from Sheffield to Aviemore for a snowboarding holiday fully laden with me and 3 mates. kept running out of water cos i was young and didnt know how to fill her properly. Followed the snowplough in the last 20 or so miles(10 inch of snow in aviemore and we were camping!!).
never blew the head gasket, filled it properly the following day after reading the manual. never failed to start and had 2 settings on the heater, hot and volcano!!lol
