First Car

[Howard]

What was yours?

[XTR]

*deep breath* Renault Megane Coupé 1.6 16V Monaco *ahhh that's it... bloody long name*


First car i drove was a 1927 Austin 7 Nippy, then a 1929 Lagonda, 1933 Austin 10, and various other vintage cars when i was about 11 year old.

Learnt to drive in a Ford Fiesta 1.1 while i was driving my mam's car with L plates, Ford Ka and my dad's Cavalier 1.8.

My first car was a Clio, but that wasn't technically mine. My first car that I own is my Alfa (Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 Twinspark Lusso, as XTR would say)

I learned to drive in a diesel 106... *shudder*

Also have driven a Focus and Alfa 156, only the latter being worth mentioning

I didnt start driving until i was 19 and my first car was a Red Talbot Horizon, one previous owner an old lady who never drove it and hardly any miles on the clock, so thought what a bargain.

But less then 3 months later the gearbox started to fail, found out it would cost about £250 to replace but the car only cost that

Ended up scrapping it, but the engine, interior and bodywork were in perfect working order.

first car i drove was the instructors 1.2(??) corsa, then lots of praccy on me dads 1.8 volvo 440 li, which is nippy enough. then my first car was some form of special edition* volvo 340 gl 1.4

*the special edition is cos its got a sunroof, spoiler and go faster stripes, but i've no idea what special edition it actually was.

blimey....Manual choke? Bet it did

[5lab]

shh. manual chokes are the daddy

[Tumble]

My first car was a Daihatsu F20 (1978) drum brakes all round, manual choke and a 1.6 SU carb petrol motor. Unfortunately, being Japanese, it was a nightmare to insure and I had to chop it in (plus it kept pressurising the crank case and blowing the rocker cover seal Got me a Land Rover Ninety now. It rocks!
