A Vauxhall VX490 FB Victor, for £50. 4 speed on the floor, ally head, (warped), piston rings somewhere in the crankcase!. Followed by an Austin Cambridge. Fine motor!!. Followed by a Morris Oxford estate. Superb! Painted the front wings with Woolworths Cover-Plus paint!. Took 3 days to dry!!!! 0-60 in one calender month
Those were the days!

C reg light blue Renault 5 called "Pippa"!!!
2000 miles on it when I got it - 10 years later (complete with new head, gearbox and radiator ) she was retired with 95,000 miles on the the clock to my drive as a burglar deterant - 2 years later she went off banger racing and thus to the big ole garage in the sky!!! She was a really fun little car to drive, and very reliable!

first car

First car I had was a 1970 Ford Escort 1.3 I bought in 1992 in Australia,
it had 12500kms on the clock, had been serviced every year and kept in a garage for two years. It cost 5 Aus$ and was given away 6 years later with 27000kms on the clock, this was followed by a Ford Falcon 5.3L and a Holden Commodore 4.2L V8 with 357000kms on the clock, ahh the sound after it had
had a few litres of tractor oil added to it!!

Bet the 4L Landcruiser was a great machine though.

Landcruiser

Yes it was, only got rid a couple of weeks ago, for pennies! Body was falling to bits but the engine was A1, only had a new head 2000 miles ago

[Purpledoris]

Very first car was my mum's Talbot horizon 1.5 Special(!!!) - the first one I owned was a Morris Marina 1.3 Coupe (SNM 851R) which I got when I was 21 - I paid £75 and ran it for a year then his lordship took it up the breakers when the MOT ran out and spent the money down the pub.......Lots of funny stories about THAT car. Followed by a Lancia Delta HF Turbo(B222 JFG),Talbot Samba (great fun in that one too think it was a Y reg -we bought it from a guy in Hemel who'd crashed it into a wall so it had one red and one blue door), a Hyundai Stellar (don't say it), a Vx Viva van, a Mini Estate, aVX victor 101,a Fiat Bravo, and a Skoda Fabia. I think thats all of them!!
