[daubers]

what was the first car you ever owned.

mine was an old mk2 escort,cost 150.

[Aidan]

Subaru Mini Jumbo, '86, red, had it 8 yrs. Died in action coming from my inlaws , 120 miles away.

[childofthe80's]

Mine was an old Ford Tempo...88' I think...It was a hand me down from my dad
It's name was "Old Blue"

[scotia]

my first car was a vauxhall astra 1989 - white 2 door 1.3 class........the heating didint work, it used 2 freez up on the inside, the starter motor connection was loose so it used 2 cut out at lights the odd time!! oh such fun........ppl dont have first cars like that these days........shame really

[Aidan]

My last car, in its last days, used to cut out if stopped at all - and I have to take three right turns on the first half-mile of my trip to work, when the engine is at its coldest....

first cars

don't laugh but when i passed my test back in 88, i had a 1979 old banger called a vauxhall viva,remember them? so uncool but i didn't care! Used to pootle about in it quite happlily, it used to really rattle if I tried to go over 50 in it. On my way back from a day out in blackpool with my sister back in 89 I decided it would be fun to race a guy down the m6, probably not the wisest move, but i'm still alive!

my first car was a red F reg Orion 1.4 she cost me £250. she went really well and only ever let me down twice.she had plenty of poke! she`s gone now to the great scrapyard in the sky,sob.

A navy blue Ford Fiesta held together with rust and much loved... then the headlights fell off and the rest seemed to follow. I got £10 scrap for it though!

[tanas]

An A reg red fiat uno

[wingman]

Can't remember what year it was but I had an Austin 1100, it was an ex-Police car and had two marks on the roof where the sign used to be bolted on!

[Jamo]

My dad's old VW Polo. Gold in colour, he gave it to me as my first car. Pretty embarrassing as my dad had a thing for getting old brass ornaments and gluing them to the bonnet (Rolls Royce style). So, I started college in a Polo with a brass aeroplane stuck on the bonnet. Needless to say, I parked quite a way down the road.

[Ecky Thump]

An E-Reg Vauxhall Nova, dark blue. I went just about everywhere in that car!

[nottrikk]

My first car was a brown mini clubman. It would have been extremely cool except for the colour. I always wanted one ever since I saw the Italian Job on the TV as a nipper. I wanted to paint it either red, white or blue, but my parents sold it when I went to university to pay for a Citroen 2CV for me as I mentioned once in passing that I thought they looked cute and quirky. I never really forgave them for that little indiscretion. How much cooler is a mini to a 2CV? I ask you!

[Dean]

I may be showing my age here, but my first car was a Ford cortina mk 2 reg no MRH 383F. (1968)

It was blue mink metallic , 1300cc and had a "pudding stirrer" gear stick.
I can remember fitting a long 'whip' radio aerial and a cassette player. (note not a radio/cassette!)
Unless my my memory is playing tricks, at the time it was a real passion wagon!
