snowdude 44 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 My first was a crappy old green fiat ???????, followed by a slightly less crappy green Mini metro and then a nearly new rover GTI turbo 2000, now that was a nice car, and was good for a 150mph. This is not including all the motorbikes I had! Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 ford transit converted campervan. piece of crap it was. bought it for 1100quid, paid 600quid on repairs that did nothing to fix the numerous problems, and sold it a year later for 2000 punds. not a bad result then.

JA2340 16 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 First car was a Citroen ID19, 25mph per 1000rpm in top gear, redlined at 4500 rpm. Magic machine! adjustable suspension and all! Then, Toyota Corolla 1200. Now, Nissan Navara d/c ute Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 A 1979 Skoda. The engine was in the back and the boot was in the front. Great for filling up with car audio as there was a good sized space behind the back seats for subs and room under the back seats for amps. Mine was yellow but otherwise pretty similar to the one in the pic. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The first car that I was financially liable for was our 1954 FJ Holden (that Papa and I bought together when we were engaged) - long gone and a sad story of us prepaying for a full rebuild and the fellow going out of business blah blah. I am NOT THAT OLD mind you - it was a 'classic' when we bought it. The drum brakes were an extra special treat!! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 2CV! And a pea green one!! Excellent. My first ride was a Mini. Link to post Share on other sites

The Bently suspension is still based on this Citroen. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah, nice ride, only trouble was that the oil hose for the suspension went directly over the tiop of the battery. Had a short that melted the hose, result, lots of oil all over the battery = fire in the hole! Las t I saw of it was on the back of a tilt tray covered in foam. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Originally Posted By: spook that citroen is rad JA! as is the skoda. i've always wanted a citroen 2CV Surely that color was just a joke just to make owners of 2CVs look like they have a (double) sense of humor?

JA2340 16 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Actually have seen one of these in my driveway. A client has one - red. Their colour choices were pretty primary! Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 A green coloured 1969 Toyota Corolla 2-door Coupe past-down from a friend to my Sister, then from her to me, then from me to my Brother, then from him to his son, then from his son to a friend, then into a crusher! Estimated it lasted for about 25+ years with only one engine rebuild. Damn solid little car with no complicated garbage under the bonnet. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 an old 1987 Mazda RX-7 that I loved but needed too much work done on it. Those rotary engines are sweet. Would love to go test drive one of those RX-8s Link to post Share on other sites
