I had a couple of company ones in the late 70s. They were crap but not quite as crap as the Viva.

I've had 14 cars and the Chevette has to be THE worst one I have had - absolute pants!!

god when i think back all those years
the chevette had a hole in the petrol tank , but prices wasnt so bad then :o
when you did a sharp left turn the fuel gauge would suddenly go down dramatically as the fuel leaked out.
Also there was a way of starting them , remember these were manual choke days:eek:
They use to flood dead easy :(
The viva , yes david utter crap , not one of Lutons finest exports, my mums CANARY YELLOW one just used to die for no reason then start back up again , what a saga , you would never think of that happening nowadays.

There was a real knack to getting them started on a damp morning. Living in Rossendale at 800 feet above sea level there weren't many mornings that weren't damp :rolleyes:. I also had a canary yellow Viva. What a heap of junk. I got mine up to 100mph on the clock coming down the M62 towards Rochdale once and I'm still shaking 30 years later :eek:.

yeah it was something like ignition key in , press the clutch twice , but the real key was not pressing the accelarator to far , if it wasnt in the exact spot it WOULD NOT start full stop
100mph , david its a wonder you ever recovered , it must have been shaking you to bits
