This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."

Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.

What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

I brought my car, the classic ford fiesta from 1989 (a very good year for cars) for 20 Benson and Hedges.


I have now had it for 14 months-the longest time I have ever had the same car , and it has just sailed past its MOT.


The most expensive car I ever had cost me my uber fast Nissan in p/ex plus 550 of the queens English pounds and lasted all of three months.

after this time the radiator sprung a leak the expansion tank cracked and the head gasket went taking the engine with it, all at once...whilst i was driving..on a busy dual carriageway...Trapping me in the wilds of Norfolk.

cheap tat? worse Cheap FRENCH tat!

never buy a Renault Clio, instead of a temperature gauge it has a "engine fucked" warning light on the dashbord.

French cars
£350 for citroen ax diseasel from a relative with a long story and It tends to overheat they all do, year of happy motoring topping up the rad then summer again and it was getting mad the rad was screwed so i bit the bullet and bought a new one, took it to a rad specialist and he couldnt work out why it was over heating. slowly it got worse and one day it it turned into a kettle and that same red light came on, waited, filled it up, limped home still loads of steam, so ai rad fushed it, then it shot all the coolant out in 30 seconds, scrappies, French cooling systems are mad, they are full of airtraps.
