Whats the slowest thing you have been in!?

Peugeot 306 1.4 or my gf's 1.4 Polo, its a close one. My mums 1.0 Micra automatic feels quicker than both :eek:

... or my old Hyundai Pony when it lost compression in one of the cylinders. Sounded like a VW Beetle :o

As a passenger. Hmmm, probably my Grandads old Skoda. The one with the engine in the back. Estelle was it :confused:
 
Rofl, all of these are positively grey hounds in comparision to my mom's 2cv;
602 cc, and 26 bhp. 0-60 was over 30seconds, and with a headwind i don't think it even got to 60.

A veritable speedster, young Fox, :D

The slowest thing I've ever driven was also a Leyland, but thankfully I can't remember the model name!

Two little skinny wheels with no brakes at the front, and two huge knobbly tyres at the back, stopping the 3-point linkage dragging on the ground.

Yes, it WAS a tractor :p

Triple mowers on the rear linkage, and some moron had weighed in the counterweights off the front as scrap. Made handling at it's top speed of 18 mph, interesting, to say the least. I didn't think tractors should wheelie on the throttle :eek:

For myself, probably a Ford Sierra 2.3 Diesel Estate and passenger, probably a 1L micra 3 up, one person being a fat man! :o

An old Massey Ferguson, and as a passenger in a knackered Fiat Panda which could barely top 30mph.
 
The Transit hi-top box van we had at work. Had to thrash it to get it up to the speedlimit, and that was empty. Load it up with fruit machines and it really crawled. Oh, and caught the wind too, that was fun.
 
Miniature railway

Slowest driven: My MK1 Escort when the gear box exploded and I was left with the stick in my hand and a whopping hole in the floor, although technically I was coasting
 
Friends Triumph Toledo, 4 up, running on a number of cylinders less than the normal 4. At absolute maximum thrust on the M25, downhill, it got to an indicated 50 :p
 
As passanger, a Beford Rascal based camper - hole in the floor and any kind of corner and you'd be risking going onto two wheels and it was rather worrying if it was windy. Went up to about 70 odd. As a driver, probably a Fiesta 1.8D
 
My friend's Corsa I think.

Either that or the Matiz we had as a hire.....OH god, no, it was that god-damned Vitara again :D Small petrol engine + autobox + 150,000 rough miles as a hirecar in the heat = ****heap :D
 
1982 LWB landrover with a 2.25 litre petrol engine with only two working cylinders. It sounded like a traction engine, and performance was pretty similar, but it carried on solidering on until we could stop and change the head gasket for one that didn't have a half inch hole between cylinders 2 and 3.

For supposedly fully working cars, a 1ltr metro, drove like a tank. That was broken. And on fire.
