You had two of them?

1980 or 81 ford cortina 4.1 6cyl my father had as a company car. It broke down( as in needing towing) 18 times in 18 months living in Sutherland he worked in Wollongong for a housing company, before we moved here and we went to school in Wollongong . He lost 1st and 3rd gear halfway home so was grinding gears all the lights. Oil seal blew 2-3 times covering windscreen in oil at 110kph. Stop or cook engine. Radiator blew about 2 k's from home got towed by mum , electrical issues like alternator and fuel pump . This was a brand new car and absolute POS .
Mechanic said it was worst put together car he had ever seen

Aah! the good old TC 4.1 Cortina,had one of those come through a stop sign (from my left) at Mascot in 76 and wrote off my BMW R60 and Sidecar with my new girlfriend and her daughter totalled the DJP chair and broke her ankle in a couple of places,rolled the Cortina the middle aged woman not displaying "P" plate pleaded "No Understand English" I had owned the outfit 8 days I was lucky it was insured, the ankle only gives the "Management" trouble on cold winter days.

TC was earlier, the TE was about 78 and TF 80 or 81, i had a 2ltr auto TC that i couldnt kill. The 6cyl was pretty hard on the chassis and brakes of the Corty but they were quick.

For me the worst would have to be the 1990 2.4 auto DC hilux my dad bought as a work vehicle, gutless thirsty twitchy ****box it was - should have kept the Mitsi L300 van that he put a 2ltr sigma motor in.

All I can remember was the 4.1 badge on the lower front guard as I went over the top of it to land VERY hard on the road after it passed and rolled, dark red thing it was, her insurance wrote it off, it was also insured in his name and they repaired it (Waltons), it caught fire several months later in his yard
