What Was Your First Car

[Joe G]

Mine was a 1.1 fiesta, Which ended up in a field after 4 weeks. I suppose you learn from your mistakes lol

[ScottyRB320]

First car was an XR4x4i in White..............

I passed my test in the Army at Leconsfield when i was 17 and it was my old mans car.

Fair play to him he charged me top whack for it and made me pay every bloody penny.

I remember my insurance was £2800 third party only and on a squaddies wage that was murder.

I never went out much i just paid the car up, paid the insurance monthly and just about had enough dosh left for petrol and beer.

I used to look forward to getting sent to s**** holes like Bosnia or Northern Ireland to get extra cash to pay it off......

Regards

My first cars name was a bit of a contradiction, it said it was a Rapid but was far from it.

It was a Skoda Rapid 135 Ric (Rapid,injection,coupe)... much like the one below

mine was a mk1 golf c,1100 cc 3dr in blue with black hammerite bottom half -i retrimmed the interior,big spots on the front, mk2 gti steering wheel, kenwood stereo and lancia delta alloys -loved that wee car. mind you when replacing it my top criteria were a footrest and a rev counter -o for the simple days lol

[Maxxed_Ross]

I had a brand new MG ZR about a week after the Mk2 version was launched

and how it looked just before I sold it

I still miss it, was a fantastic little car considering how basic it was. Handled like it was on rails and the exhaust system I put on it sounded fantastic at full tilt

M Reg Honda Civic Glacier

Had it a week and some old dude wrote it off by smashing into the back of me at 40 mph at a junction, he was trying to tune his radio in.

first thing i said to him when i got out the car was "ive just f%£$ing hoovered it!

[G.Mac]

my first car was my old dears astra inastate 1.6L (F595nnk i think), then came down to earth when I bought my own car, a Renault 5 1.1 Prima s**** box) H69XSR) rolled it when the drivers tyre blew out going round a corner. When Police turned up and saw the car they thought the driver was dead but alas I was standing at the side of the road with only a couple of shards of glass stuck in the top of my head from when I took my seatbelt off and fell onto the roof.

thank goodness the car behind me was full of over 80's who informed the police that I wasnt speeding!!!!
