Dreaded previous owner.  This is the person who incorrecltly fixed everything 
with wrong parts, made the strangist modifications, rewired the car in all white
wire without looking at the wire diagram (push horn button for left turn signal,
press brights for insturment panel lights, ec).  In the case of my TR3 its the 
person who wire brushed over the rust holes, put fiberglass over them then 
painted the car. selling it to me right afterwards.  For my Land Rover the 
Dreaded previous owner was the person who didn't know to put oil anywhere but 
the engine.  He ran it untill the rear diff went out, then drove it on front 
wheel drive untill the transfer case ran out of oil.  Of course now I did get 
the Land Rover very cheaply because of that.

Its that person, real or imaginary that you blame for all the wrong things, or 
lack of proper maintnence on before you got the car.
