What was your first car...?

[Meowster]

What was your first car and/or what would you like to be your first car?

I have no idea about cars. Help me out here.

[m0ds]

Nissan Micra was the first car I had the pleasure to drive. It was my mums. I was part insured on it!
Speed: 7/10 .... Handling: 8/10 ..... Comfort: 5/10 ....... Turn-circle: 9/10 ..... Fuel efficiency: 8/10 (37)

The first car that was actually MINE and ALL MINE was a 94 Ford Fiesta! Great little car from ebay
Speed: 6/10 .... Handling: 7/10 ..... Comfort: 8/10 ....... Turn-circle: 8/10 ..... Fuel efficiency: 8/10 (37)

In the last few days I've got my new car. Its a 93 Vauxhall Corsa, as the fiesta died. This car is also phat
Speed: 6/10 .... Handling: 7/10 ..... Comfort: 7/10 ....... Turn-circle: 7/10 Fuel efficiency: 7/10 (34)

So yeah. I wish my first car had been a Ford XR2... :p or a Jeep Cherokee.

We can all dream.

edit: hmmm! scores indicate my current car is crapper than my last 2 lol

Citroen ZX

I broke it practising reversing round corners to the point where if you stopped, you had to wait for the engine to completely cool down before it would start again.

I would love for this to be my first car.. My dad had the very same and I've fallen in love with it as well..

I don't have a driving licence and don't plan on getting it any time soon because I really don't miss having a car. And I can't drive. But if I *did*, I'd like to own a Mini Cooper. I think it has style.

That said, my first car was built of wood and it drove down the hill

[voh]

No driver's license, no car.

I'd like to get a Mini Cooper, Opel Calibra (yeah, I'm a sucker for that one) or whatever's less than 500 euros and road legal.

Til then? Public transport + bike huzzah!

First car: Fiat Cinquicento 1994
Current car: Ford Focus S-reg 1998
Next car: Vauxhall Zafira... probably about 2002 model and diesel

Surely the most important thing for a woman buying a car is not the make, but the colour

My first and only "car" is a light blue 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon with Mercedes Benz logos on it.

I have only had one car, it is an old Renault Clio, white. He is called MC Gouldsworthy, Member of Parilament.

I love him.

[Tuomas]

Citroen Visa, wine red, '86, 1,12litres engine. Got it's lock hammered in yesterday, broken inside, mutilated and robbed, and is going to be demolished later. A good ride though, it's a sad thing.

I had an '89 Rover 200. It kept breaking down. Eventually one of its head gaskets joined my goldfish in the next life, and I had to have it taken to the scrap yard and given a suitable cremation.

High quality British manufacturing never disappoints.

i'd really love to get an old Chevrolet Astro or any other old american van with nice leather seats and a sofabed in the back.

94 Nissan Maxima  2001-2006

93 Ford F-150        2007- ????




this truck has an interesting story behind it.    I bought it from a close friend of Terry Kiser, the actor who plays Bernie from Weekend At Bernie's.    I told the truck's owner how big a fan I was of the movie so she had Bernie call me.   He actually told me the synopsis to Weekend At Bernie's 3  which he is trying to produce.   Hence, this is the Weekend At Bernies Truck.

Actual size shown. It cost me a number of marbles, including my favourite steely.

[Erenan]

Doesn't actual size kind of depend on resolution settings and monitor size?

[LimpingFish]

Probably. I'm not that worried.

[Erenan]

I am. I'm shivering all over.
