Oh it was in a pug 106 D with cracked windscreen and a drivers door that only opened from inside.

Down hill and in the rain.

Quoting your own posts instead of editing them is an amazing way of boosting your post count. If dancin was about he would be giving me some abuse!

Hillman Imp, 875cc of moped power - It seamed like a good idea at the time. Heater was rubbish but was very good in snow. Binned it into a wall in the peak district chasing a Yamaha 200. Bought a Fiat 131 after that, clearly not learned anything about cars.. ha ha

[Robert Tyrrell]

Plastic Pig 1978. We used to take a mobile disco around in the back plus 4 of us. All to rock gigs; we were all bikers & this was the closest thing to a car that we could get or wanted at the time 🙂 Mine was like this but without the 'Eyelashes'. I learnt a lot about riding a bike from driving this back from parties ......

 

[zeebeedee]

Citreron saxo 1.1i It went like lightening until you filled it full of passengers ;-)

 

[mundi]

1938 Ford 8. Cable brakes (never really worked), side valve engine (8HP). easy to repair used wood to repair the chassis and lots of fibreglass to fill the holes in with. (MOT not then even thought of then). 6Volt system gave headlights like candles.

vauxhall nova 1.2. fit my own stereo and the petrol gauge packed up. had the stereo nicked and it started working again...god knows how..

 

[Millsy 82]

I had a mk2 fiesta. Ripped the normal seats out and put xr2i seats in. Put a stereo in it and a couple of 6x9's in the parcel shelf. What on earth I was thinking!

 

[newcastle phill]

My brother had an xr2i many moons ago.
Always remember when he advertised it he sold it some bloke for the asking price of £4400.
He then called the bloke back and said he wanted £4600 for it as he advertised it too cheap lol....

The bloke still bought it and paid the extra.
I would have told him to *'off lol...🙂

 

[Paulus]

My first car back in '76 was a 1965 Hillman Hunter with a 1750cc engine and a sunshine roof if any of you know what one of those is.

It was a brilliant motor, I can't imagine what the insurance would be on something like this for a youngster nowadays.
