Arse End of the Universe, Cumbria |
Our family business is a Ford Franchise so I had all sorts of cars to learn to drive in, it was whatever was available from fiestas to cortinas so I don't remember the first car I had, but the first one I had after I passed my test (and kept for a while) was a wee, white, converted Fiesta van, registration GBV 71W (I called it Gilbert, it had a dodgy starter motor and often cut out at junctions leading me to spring the bonnet, leap out of the car with the hammer I kept in the backseat and tap the starter motor so it'd go again)
The first car I owned (or semi-owned) was the c-Max I bought on lease 3 years ago, having had cars provided by the firm up until then  |

A pontiac firebird....
Not really but one of the security question on a website I go on is What is the first car you owned so I will dream now and say a pontiac. When I was younger that would be the car I would have wanted.
Saves me giving my security answer on a forum lol... |

"black 1275 Gt Mini god I loved that car "
I had a brown and gold one of those, one of the very last ones ever made (after several other Mini's). completely gutted it, resprayed it (engine out), partial rewire to fit quad spots on the front, twin fogs on the rear and even a boot light- as well as the double security of a switched coil and a switched electric fuel pump- so unless you dropped lucky with the right switches you could only steal it with a hoist.
I rebuilt the engine with a high lift cam and high compression head and twin inch and half twin SU carbs- ported out to a twin branch exhaust- it was back in the seat fast before i pimped the engine!
Then i added Cooper wheels and interior so it looked awesome......then i moved house and left it in my parents garage for 2 years and bought a Jag to play with instead, so i sold it unfinished for about £1500- about 6 months before the new Mini came out and the prices of originals rocketed. if i'd finished and kept it for a couple of years it would have easily made £3k+  |

Mini...the old model. Was a mini advantage....the only difference I could make out was it had tennis ball detailing on the seats and bodywork.
It was a heap to be honest, full of rust and dents, welded allover the place, I fixed the damp distributor with a marigold glove and some zip ties as it would missfire on wet days lol.
Yet I loved that car, I fitted a Panasonic blue shock stereo an amp and managed somehow to fit two 180watt watt jbl 6x9 speakers in the back shelf after the guy in the car audio shop said I couldn't and I thought I was the dogs, driving about with the dulcet tones of cypress hill and the like rattling the little boot lid almost off.....it was 998cc and I drove it like I was Colin mcrae! Brilliant little thing, loved it and still miss it fifteen odd years later..... |

"black 1275 Gt Mini god I loved that car"
That was my third car absolutely fantastic car so much fun tuned to the max. Went like stink well at least it felt like it.
Got 110 out of it on the m3 scary as fuck noisy and unreliable.
Till I totally smashed it up 
Would have another in a heartbeat.
The minis of today are not even close to being a mini it's a joke they are huge and lack soul.
Something older cars had. |

Too right!! Its nice to see real Minis being so well regarded on here. I've had a fair few and still have one. Nothing has come close to handling as well as a real Mini! |

Worst pile of shit was a Austin maxi 1700 lasted 30 mins and blew up under the Chiswick bypass, just got out and left it in the bus stop.
Must have been there a month before it was taken away..
Back when the logbooks where easy.never sent it off |

Vauxhall astra 1.3 slx two tone in gold and bronze (beige interior).
Was a heap, bug ragged the ass off it for 2 years before I crashed it overtaking in the snow !! (Writing it off-oops).
Had a 6 speaker system in it and a rubber spoiler on the boot lid that would fall off when you had to jump start it (often had to). But it served me well in my surfing trips and nights out...and was quicker than my both of my mate's vw polo and seat ibiza, so it made me happy! !
Now drive a vw lwb van (T4) for my business, and love it. |

I started off on motorbikes. Embarrassingly a Honda CG125 
First car wasn't much better a Peugeot 205 LOOK in patchy white with a whopping great big 1124cc engine. That was very very slow as by that point in time I'd owned a Hayabusa which was stupidly fast  |

Also a VW Beetle. Loved it and it was so easy to maintain I could service it (ooh er) myself
Now? I've got an Audi TT and haven't got a clue how it works.
Progress ... |

Had my old mans Rover 414 for a year to get some no claims bonus when I first passed my test. Then bought my first car, a beautiful white mk2 Golf Gti, cost nearly as much as the car was worth to insure it though |

1979 T Reg White Mk IV Cortina. I loved it but it came to a sad demise as it was written off by my girlfriend on Christmas Day, when she hit black ice. She thankfully was fine but the lampost she hit with my car wrapped around it weren't. 
The most irritating thing was I'd only insured it third party fire and theft and was still paying off the loan. Should have known better, after all who'd want to steal a burning motor |
