Back in the 80's as a young apprentice it quickly became evident that transport was essential in this game. Lugging tools around on a bus was not much fun...So as soon as I turned 17 I applied for my provisional licence and took up driving lessons. Passed first time wohoo & for my 18th birthday, I had saved up £55 and purchased my first car. It was Datsun Cherry 100A. cost me £350 to insure it! It had a tendency to overheating. but it was MINE & my pride & joy.

What was the first vehicle you ever bought?
 
Vauxhall nova sr. Got it stolen, was used by joyriders for two weeks and the police got it back for me. It was a great car.
 
Also had a mk2 escort which my mate rolled and that was the end of that. I bought the mk2 for next to nothing, they are worth alot now.

Great cars I had one and the same colour too
 
Morris 1000 with trafficators(pop out indicators) the young out there may have to Google that lol paid £ 15 for it .....still remember no plate 611 HOD...happy days regards Turnpin:)
 
To be honest I was given that car to learn in and it was not great, but yeah I do love my cars!!
 
I used to be. But then lost interest. My cousin in well into them. He restored a fiesta XR2 an escort RS Mexico, owned a Sierra cosworth and restored a mk2 cortina which I think he still has in the garage.

Mine was the Yamaha DT125. Liquid cooled I recall.
Really would have preferred the Honda 4 stroke equivalent and it has a nicer noise

ugh, I never really bonded with any of my 4 strokes.. currently have a KTM300 2 stroke crosser, awesome and terrifying in equal measure

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
