Shit First (or second) Cars

What was yours?

I'm looking at a Hyundai atm.

Even in it's sales description it admits to having a 'spot of rust'.

MOT and taxed for 10 months tho = good on the wallet of El Cunch.

Gonna name it 'the honeywagon'.

My first was a C Reg Mk 2 Astra. The cassette player did not work and the sunroof leaked (so the car smelt of mould). It cost £800 and I had it for 4 years.

My second was a L Reg Corsa which was quite decent for the time.

Mine was Ford Anglia, 1958. Cost 35 quid and I loved it but having a fumble in the backseat was a nightmare!

my first was this, cost £75. repared wood and de-fungied, sold £750!

then this for £100. every panel was a different colour, got pulled by police EVERY time i drove it!

Now i only drive vans : LDV for me

First car was a purple Morris Marina. Built like a Panzer Tank and as fast as one.

Second was an Talbot Horizon

Our first was a VW Beetle. But not just any Beetle! It had a 1600 engine that was tuned by a good friend who was a Beetle mechanic and totally in love with them. It was shit hot! We then decided that we wanted something a bit newer and tidier looking. So we got a much 'nicer' Beetle. Only then did we realise what we had lost ....

Ist car was a Mk 3 Cortina which was a bit ropey, bodywork wise but never let me down.
2nd was a Chrysler 180 which was a granada consul type car which had twin webber carbs as standard and for a 'sofa' type car was pretty quick.

My first car was a 1968 mark two mini not really that shit . Restored it and tuned the engine what a larf . It drove like a gocart . Only cost 500 quid from this right dodgy farmer.oh ar me lover.

Lulz at the abundance of aged people on this thread, going by the vehicles in question.

Adding up the price of petrol, insurance, tax and vehicle...I think I might have to get a bike. Would that make me a massive geezer or a cheapskate? I can't even decide.

Started off with a mk1 escort, lent it to my sister who crashed it but luckily it was repairable but the worst car I owned was a triumph tr7 it had the pop up headlights but only one of them would go up and down.

When I read the title I didn't see the cars and thought it was a shit first or second competition to tie in with your rugby thread? Mine took 24 seconds.

First car was a rather excellent BMW 318i. After that it was pretty much Company cars all the way, of varying degrees of quality.

Fiat 127 fast as feck downhill.

Bond minicar, dodgem like 3 wheeler, absolutely awful, next was a Commer van, good

First motor was a Mk2 1600 sport Escort.

I became obliged to buy it for £400 from a mate, after I hit a wall test driving it out by Yelverton Rock.

Vauxhall chevvette, it was a rebadged german car so it was really ok. Changing the headlamp bulbs was a bit of a pain though!

1st car was an Austin Allegro 1100 in the obligatory diarrhea brown colour, a truely awful car but had some great times in it

My first car was a brand new cherry red Peugeot 205 diesel. Probably still the best car I've ever had.

My first a NSU
