lazza Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 My first car was a Hillman Imp Stilleto, which I bought when I was seveenteen. It was gold with a black vinal roof. It cost me £300, and £700 to insure because it was a 999cc twincarb SPORTS :blink: coupe!! It was my pride and joy, and I spent a small fortune on bits and pieces for it, like; A stereo radio cassette player Two sets of Hi Fi speakers, which I crammed in behind the front seats, An 8 band graphic equalizer, A furry steering wheel cover, with matching terracota fur for the dashboard :*) Six spotlights which could only be flicked on when I was doing over 50mph, otherwise the battery drained in seconds, and the engine died. Oh and a set of car seat covers to match the fur on the dashbord. B) Pity I didn't spend any money on a basic mechanics course really, and learned to put some water in the engine, it would have probably not have overheated & seized up After that I had a Hillman Avenger, which had to always be parked facing downhill, because the starter motor was knackered. Then a mk3 Cortina estate, which ran for ever, despite getting reversed into ditches & trundling over fields with five lads & all their fishing gear in it. In my early 20's, I got into American muscle cars, and had various Trans Ams & Mustangs. Then after the children were born I had to cut back on the fuel money, and had 2.8 Granada's & Senators. Now........ Well I've got a 400 Diesel Rover, and a LWB Fronterra, which you need to wipe your feet in before you get out. How things change!

Gemma Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 My first car was a little red Peugeot 205 which I put in a ditch shortly after passing my test, and finally wrote off. I also managed to write off a brand new Vauxhall omega in the process. :blink: B) I then got a little blue B reg Fiesta which I cristened Malcolm. He was a bit tatty but was actually a great little car. Got me from a to b and didn't give me any grief. Didn't do too much damage to this one, other than hitting a gatepost. After selling Malcolm I got a brand new purple Clio (V reg). Had this a year, went in to the back of one bloke and crumpled the bonnet. I got it fixed but took the car to London and it was Stolen. It was retrieved two months later from Stanstead airport. But by this time I'd replaced it with a Metro (which later got broken in to and smashed up in Oxford, so I practically gave it away). So I took the money, and paid a deposit on a new Black Clio Sport which is the car I have now. Still in one piece (touch wood). As you can see I don't have a good track record. Believe it or not I'm not actually a bad driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
