What was your first car?

[Man of Harveys]

Seeing how there's always a bit of young driver chat on here and I'm a recent qualifier myself - what was your first car?

Mine was a rusty but surprisingly nifty old Ford Fiesta. And it came with an Albion sticker on the back, so it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, it consumed more engine oil than petrol so it had to go. But, like someone's first woman, the memories will always be fresh as a daisy.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Peugout 106, still got it. I call it 'The Shitmobile'.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Mini 850cc,big steering wheel,and gearstick,maroon got to know Sussex very well in it.

 

[JJ McClure]

Fiat Uno, pretty nippy little motor just a bit unreliable, although better than the astra that I had afterwards which stalled whenever you took it out of gear.

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

Jamican Yellow Vauxhall Chevette.....cool!

 

[Scotty Mac]

ford fiesta as well - they really are beasts

 

[Superphil]

Simca 1100, red, with rusty bits.

 

[Faldo]

My mums snot green Renault 5. Despite it being the ugliest car ever built, it was actually not a bad car (until some blind old man tried to cut it in half with his Volvo).

 

[Rangdo]

A red Austin (not Rover) Metro.

Austin A40 quality vintage car, red leather seats and split rear windscreen

[Lammy]

I was crap! bought it new, these things failed;

1) speedo zeroed
2) It cut out

-- after warrenty ran out --

3) clutch failed 30,000 miles
4) exahust failed 30,000 miles
5) indicator switch failed
6) power streering chamber leaked and needed replacing.

This is the only pic I can find on the net (not my family)

M reg escort. I have had it 3 years now, always starts first time and can still do over 400 miles on a full tank. Only problem I have with it is the windscreen freezes on BOTH sides!

So was mine, as was my second. My first was an R reg which I then sold to my brother for £350. Three weeks later, the engine blew up.

 

[Easy 10]

Shared my dads Toyota Corolla, before splashing out on a white Mini Metro. Painted the front spoiler with gritty black drainpipe paint, stuck a rear-windscreen 'Metro' sticker across the top of the window, and thought it looked the BIZ.

 

[Starry]

A little yellow mini. I loved that car and was sad when it finally gave up the ghost.

Simca 1100, red, with rusty bits.

My first was also a Simca 1100, except mine was bright pink, which inevitably led to no end of :safeway comments from everyone who saw it...

Mark 2 Cortina. White with a black vinyl roof and Capital Radio sun visor.

Finally blew it up on the M4.
