According to yahoo the moke is in the top ten worst cars ever made

"Mini Moke: Urban myth says the Mini Moke was somehow a rugged and much-loved utilitarian variant of the classic original. How that's happened is a mystery. It was only put on sale because the army kept rejecting the front-wheel drive car as a serious off roader. Those stupid enough to buy one faced the genuine threat of actually falling out at roundabouts."

Have a look - clicky

What a load of fools.

I saw this last night and wondered how long it would be until it got drug up on here. At least they put it at 10 there where some much worse cars in front of it but I'm not sure I agree the De Lorean is the 4th worst car ever.

actualy, what they say is correct, it was rejected by the army, they simply didnt want it i can understand why when you compair it to a landy, look at the difference in ground clearance and aproach angles, cant really compair, rubbish for the job it was designed for but still quite cool in a querky way i think.

who the hell came up with that actually? putting the XJ220 on there is a stupid idea and its hardly the worst car ever because it was released in a recession, idiots!

I know it didn't meet the requirements of the army but, one of the worst cars ever made?. The quote about people falling out on roundabouts did make me chuckle though

[1293sleeper]

Heard this on the local radio this morning whist gardening, ex-owners were phoning in for most of the cars stating they were much better than the modern ones they own now!

[Pitcrew6464]

Thats crappy Yahoo for you they are going under anyway so the moke that they call the worst car will out live them muuuhaaaaahaaahahahahahaha

[Littlegizmos]

well i have been off road in my moke a few time and it is great fun. and i have never fallen out going around any corners . but i have been stuck in the odd river )

[Pitcrew6464]

[leaky]

WHAT! They have a delorean in the top ten. Thats one of the only cars I would swap my mini for.

Calm down Jon

At least they know OF the Mini moke, its the only thing i can commend them on

[Ethel]

I don't think the Moke was ever intended as true off roader, just a Mini for sunnier climes. It was the Mini's rally success that raised false expectations. Even cheaper than a Mini 'n a flat pack to keep shipping costs down, far better than a tuktuk or 2CV - the nearest competition.

Cant believe they put the LM002 on the list! That car is amazing!

[skaterava]

The Lada doesn't deserve to be #1, and the XJ220 and LM002 shouldn't even be on the list.
