What was the first Vehicle you ever bought?

[Darren Jackson]

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.

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.

To be honest I was given that car to learn in and it was not great, but yeah I do love my cars!!

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

I had a road legal 380 sx few years ago that was pretty daft to be honest but good fun

Austin A35 van

 

[Phil]

Bought a D reg Fiat Panda in 1996 for £800, put a Peco big bore on and handbraked it into some guys garden wall. The wheels locked and I just lost control, it made a right crunch, smash all the front end in. We just pushed it home and scrapped it.

I learned to whistle in a 3 wheeler while being driven round the Isle of Man.
Completely pointless fact I know, just felt the urge to share 😀

 

[JCplumb]

A mini was my first car, had it when I was 18 for about a year. Passed my driving test 6 years later 🙂

I'm 6'2'' and had more head and leg room in that car than anything I've owned since.

 

[Pitty]

Rover 214si k plate. Was absolutely brilliant and so reliable. Loved that car I was 18 at the time and insurance cost me £1500 car only cost £500 lol
