My First Car (inspired by Tikay)

[pokerfan]

I was 28 when I passed my test and had some money in the bank so thought I would buy a mini one as my 1st car, paid £9k for it and I know I was ripped of, anyway I called its my little go kart and I loved it but it lost its life on the m62 early one morning while it raining, I still miss the little chap plus I left my city shirt in the boot

Every cloud n all that .

hey, i won't have a word said against the talbot samba, our family car for several years

1L Nissan Micra FTW

my second car, i did about 60,000 miles in it over 3 years and it never broke down, parked it up one night in town and some twats put the rear and front windscreens through which made it a write off. Loved that car.

My local garage gave these out as couresy cars as they were so reliable.

This was a little blue "F" reg one.  We had it in the family from new and was incredible.  Broke down for first time after 80,000 and never had any problems with it really.

When I first started driving it cost me £12 to fill from empty to full (Obv most of the forum can beat this but still very little to nowadays)

I had a white one of these, inherited from mum when I passed my test in '85.

It was awful but it was transport.

I ended up putting it through a hedge whilst driving like a Pr**k. But that's another story.

I had the same in the Metallic blue as my 3rd car, was really impressed with it, until I rolled it on the M25 at 7pm in the rain on a Bank Holiday Monday.

Babies made mine disappear  

When my first came along, Emily, we bought this:

Then we had the twins, Megan and Sophie and we had to upgrade to this 7 seater car which we currently have:



This is the interior:



The quality this is, the 2 middle seat swivel round to face the back like this:

My first car was a clapped out old mini that my grandad gave me. I never got to drive it, but it did cause me a lot of trouble. That's a long story, and not one for the forum, but sadly I have nothing but bad memories from that car that never even left my garage

The first car I owned that I actually got to drive was several years later when I was 21 - another old banger - austin maestro I think.  A few months later I bought my first (and only) brand new car, a lovely metallic green VW Polo.

Fiat 127, used to break down every week, usually seriously, rust everywhere including the roof that I filled in with bubblegum. wide wheels, bucket seats, sporty backbox and expensive stereo stuck into the dash with tape cos the hole was too big for it

I had one of these too as my first car, didn't break down much though and I used it loads.  Used to go to gigs all across the country when I was younger, and the fiat took us everywhere.   We even used to sleep in her, not very comfortable, but it did the job.

My first Car too and in yellow. Cost me £450 lasted four years and I traded it for £50. Cheapest driving year on year ever.

i never passed my test until 95, and went out to buy a golf the same day. except the equivalent golf was about 600 quid dearer than the jetta (F reg) . i couldnt really see the point in that so i took the jetta, and loved it. it had a 1.6 litre engine, and i put a pioneer stereo in it. i drove 20K miles in 11 months in it and never even had to put air in the tyres. as i was moving to holland, i sold it to my cousin for 100quid less than i had paid for it. not bad depreciation at 0.5p per mile.

when i moved to holland i got a company car of a 2 litre nissan primera. This thing was seriously quick, but i had an argument in the works car park with the back wall, and that was the end of that.

For my punishment i got a 2.0 T spark Alfa romeo 155. this thing was awesome, and was great fun to drive. i nearly turned down moving to my next job because i wanted to keep the car !


more to come....
