A knackered black Mini 1000 with rust where the floor should have been, no brakes & different coloured seats!!  When I went to look at it, my mate & I had to give the woman who was selling it a push to get it going, yet I still bought it  (oh, to be 17 again)

It was completely crap but a great laugh & I was a total hooligan in it, in the end the car met an overdue death when I run the engine dry of oil (in hindsight it was like an act of euthanasia)!

There was no mods unless you count bald tyres as slicks, no chance of getting a girl to even look at it & stickers don't stick very well to rust bubbles, but I still thought I was the "the lick" in it

1.A black Golf Mk1 GTi 1.6

2.I stuck a universal 4" back box on which I regretted strait away because it sounded like a tank. Lucky it fell of within a month.

3.I had no stereo in the car the sound of the engine was all I needed ( I learnt to drive in a 1.1 Metro)

4.It was and always will be the nuts except for a 1.8 engine instead of the 1.6(dam oil pumps)

5.I was forever getting pulled in it. I never did anything silly, Just got stoned with my mates.

6.When I bought the car it had Max Power stickers on the side mirrors which came of as soon as I gave the man his money.


I loved that car soo much but in the end it needed far too much engine work to keep so I sold it to one of my mates who stuck a mk2 16V engine in it. He moved away before he ever finished it and I haven?t seen it since. :'( :'( :'(

was a nice little corsa for my first car, pity it was only 60bhp!! it was ditched once i got my full NCB after having 2yrs claim free insurance on it!

[Justins145bhpMK1]

1970 Beetle 1300, my Dad bought it out a field for ?150 and as he worked for VW it soon became an almost new car. Had Porsche indian red paint, Porsche 356 wheels, very low, retrimmed red interior, colour codd engine and the loudest blaupunkt system you ever did hear. Broke my heart selling it  But it was show standard by the time I did!

My first car was a winter runner for when I was doing a lot of riding
bought it 1992

?75
mk2 escort
Cr@ppy brown
1.3l
automatic
plastic seats
headlights were tiewrapped on, so used to swing on winding roads
alternator belt was some tightly wound speaker cable
Heater was broken, so I wired in a 12v hairdrier to demist the windscreen
Parcel shelf was covered in silica gel to prevent the back window icing over in winter
Used to slip out of the automatic gearing on right hand bends, so I had to floor it to get it to lurch back in
covered 20,000 miles in 18 months with it though, and still got ?30 from the scrappy when the exhaust fell off!!

[DadArms]

1982 Renault 5 1.1 GTL DLP 830 Y Silver
A couple of new head gaskets
Nah, didn't have a stereo - we used to have sing songs instead! Made a great mix of Primal Scream's Loaded and Hey Jude! Used to rag it to college, get mushed then rag it to my mates'.
It was rusty as hell, but it had the most comfortable red interior - bit like Lawrence off Changing Rooms car!
No stickers...
