Funny new book - "CrapCars"
If you need a laugh, find a copy of Richard Porter's "CrapCars"
(Bloomsbury 2005, ISBN 1-58234-638-0) which is a list of the 50 worst
cars of the last half century. Very opinionated and occasionally wrong
headed but often dead on and funny. He lists such milestones as #34 the
Maserati Biturbo ("If this car was sold without a steering wheel it
could barely have been less erratic") and #2 the Yugo ("When Yugoslavia
descended into war, at least someone had the presence of mind to bomb
the Yugo factory"). His winner? 1974 Mustang II - or Sports Pinto as
people called it at the time.
