    I had a beige Hillman Avenger and a white Vauxhall Chevette. The two worst cars ever made.

    Can't think of any songs mentioning these heaps of rust...

    In the in-tray, lots of work
    But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
    But he's just like everyone, he's got a Ford Cortina
    That just won't run without fuel
    Fill her up, Jacko

    I had both them :D
    The Avenger was a 1500 and tbh was a pretty decent motor.
    The Chevette looke as good when I sold it as when I bought it! Mindst I was pretty handy with the filler and paint in those days! Traded it in at a garage so didn’t feel guilty really !

    According to lyrics.com, there are over 200 references to 'chevette' in popular music.

    Sadly no Hillman Avengers though.

    One morning on my way to work (I'm ashamed to say that I was probably still over the drink limit from the night before) in the Avenger, a car stopped in front of me and I didn't. The car in front was (ironically) a Hillman Hunter. I cracked his reversing light lens whilst the entire metalwork in front of the radiator of the Avenger was a heap of rust on the road.

    My Chevette was only 3 years old when I bought it and both doors were patched up with filler, you didn't sell yours to a dealer in Tinsley by any chance?

    Not guilty, when I had the Chevette I could only dream of a car 3 years old!
