Simoman 110 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 My first car was an Austin Montego 1.6L when I was 18 It cost me £1,200 and another £1,000 for third party insurance. It lasted me 4 years and took me from Nottingham to Chelmsford every weekend to visit my girlfriend, now wife when she was at University. It eventually caught fire due to an oil leak on the A610 on the way to deliver it to the new owner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Leveller Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I had a 1978 Fiat 128 3p Berlinetta like this one but it was metallic blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mad al 146 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Good thread, I haven't got any pics, but my first car was a Ford Prefect , the one with the "air" wipers...........the more you pressed the throttle, the slower they'd go and vice versa , anyway I remember being up in the hills with quite a steep decent so no throttle etc and the feckin things flew off in the middle of a gale :laugh: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I did have my sisters old Metro once, a 1 litre powerhouse with only 4 gears It didn't help that it had "the metro touch" on the rear windscreen, whats that all about....Sad thing was she gave it me and bought a sporty version... Leveller, don't try and be all cool, I bet your first car was really a Fiat 126........... Here you go Ricky, not mine but I had Blue....for a boy :kiss: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Infact I've had some good...some very bad Austin Montego, good...for a while Mini Metro, not good for the ladies when your 21 years old Ford Sierra Sapphire (very nice) Rover Metro, the 1.4 GS with leather and electrics, for posh old ladies Vauxhall Astra Estate, economic but slower than Geoff Capes in a bear trap Renault Laguna Estate, very nice Nissan Navara, excellent Been through those in 16 years since I got my first at 18...

jasper65 6 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 My first car was a old K plate MK1 Escort, it was a very sexy Light Blue . the second Motor in the picture was a MK3 Cortina 2.0 GT, The third was My Pride and joy at the time and a prime Fanny Magnet, Capri 2.0 S, and another quick picture of a Escort RS Turbo Custom 91 Spec I owned in 93, another Fanny Magnet for its time ... For some reason during this era I had a thing about Fannies .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
