What was your first vehicle ...?

<< < (11/16) > >>

Evilgoat:
1984 Volvo 340GLE All my mates had tiddly little 1.0l cars and I had a HOOOGE 1.7L engine

Shame the car also weighed twice as much as my mates cars.

Ben:
My first car was actually the 1980 2CV6 I learnt to drive in, and then was given a year or so later. Think "For Your Eyes Only", but right hand drive, and less dents on the bonnet :D

I'd owned a couple of cars of my own (mini, Chevette) before getting my hands on it again, but it was great to get the yellow peril back after the Chevette was scrapped.

Probably got some photos somewhere of when Mum had the 2cv before I got hold of it but they're early 80's, so I'll spare her the embarrassment of her fabulous perm being all over the internet  :oops:

Cheers

Ben

y reg mk 1 fiesta - i loved that car strated first time and went anywhere, but alas like most 18 year olds i wrote it off, driving back from scotland at the end of a work placement for my degree - id worked till 4 in the morning then got in the car at 6 and started driving home and alas fell asleep somewhere around peterborough,
the upside was the guy i hit had no insurance so i didnt claim on that one and plus by the time i arrived home daddy dearest had aquired a d reg 309 which was a big plus cos i could get my fishing tackle in with no worries

god i love my dad, however he may have been a little selfish in his descision as the nature of my degree involved really early mornings and late nights plus the fact it was a 70 mile round trip to college and random timings so i think he did it for the sake of his sanity  :lol:

chris.hunt22:
I had 2!!  A 1983 Escort 1.3L with full XR3 kit and wheels (sad I know) and my 1971 VW beetle 1200 which was lowered, had dragstar wheels, 1960's wings and headlights, 1641cc engine with twin 40 weber carbs, metallic dark purple/red, and yes I do miss it, had it for 8 years but got offered £2K for it with no MOT, no tax, engine barely running (exchange 1200 lump as my 1641 ceased up!!), I couldn't say no to that kind of money, plus it meant I could buy the Porsche :twisted:
