What was your 1st car?

[JCplumb]

My first car was an old mini - old 'F' reg whatever year that was, I'm 6'2'' and 14 stone and I had more room in that car than most cars I've had since...

Red Renault Clio 1.2 RL Paris. R298PRG. Had it 8 months and traded it in for a new Silver Clio 1.2 16v BN56VSF. Both great cars. Then went to a Renault Sport Clio 197 HN58UKE. Great car. Loved it. Then Mazda 3 MPS YE59NPK. Very quick. Now just got a Pug 307 HDI. House came first :-(.

Nissan Almera. 1.4, 5 doors, burgundy. P892 YJO. painted the whole (standard) exhaust bright red and fitted a deafening sound system.

A bedford CF van called Gladys. Claimed to be an ex tour van from the Shadows. I won it from my boss on a coin toss, so it cost me nothing - but could have cost me £100 if I had lost the toss.

Painted blue on one side and black on the other to confuse witnesses. 🙂


True story.

Unfortunately I tried to drive it down the gap between our house and the neighbours. Didn't quite work. Sorry about that soil stack Roy! 🙂

i had an ex post office commer like that was red with a yellow panel one side used to cofuse the wife no end when she claimed she had seen it out side such and such pub

!st car was a Green Mini 850, the car I owned for the shortest time was a Black MK5 Zodiac with Red leather seats which I brought one Sat` morning, spent all day washing and polishing it then sold it that night to a guy in the pub for a nice profit, don`t think it was ever registered in my name.

I only passed 2 years ago so my car is a mk 4 astra sxi got it for £400 from a good mate with full mot it sailed through this year too my old man has a array of vans an estates for his firm un sign written that I drive though so although I have only owned one car I drive quite a lot of different vans and estate cars I had been driving 3 week and I wrote one of the vivaro s off into a roller shutter it wasnt up as high as I remembered and it would hve cost too much to sort out and a convertible van isn't really a option
