Was there ever a thread about what was your first car?
Should be nice to read what it was(i still own mine),shall post a pic,so you can guess(R5 obviously,but what model)
I'll show you mine,you'll show me yours:hilarious
It's under restoration(by my father)as we speak.;)
Hope you'll enjoy this topic.
my 1st car i could legally drive after passing my test was a 1972 mk1 1600 gtxlr capri.....dark metallic green,black vinyl roof. sadly i dont own it anymore, now got a 1973 mk1 lol
thats a Renault 5 Gordini Turbo. I nearly had one for my first car, but i couldn't get a quote from the insurance company as he was laughing too much (think it might of been a bit steep)
my first car, 13 speakers & sold for 300% profit after 2 years
how i sold it
how i got it, the previois owner sold it as she thought it had got no chance of getting thru an MOT. A few bulbs & a new boot floor & went straight thru
Capri's,Mini's and gordini's now we're getting somewhere:smileypul Btw when i bought the 5 it didn't run,but i wanted it soooooooo bad. It's a 1982 model with bright orange velours interior:pimp2:
that 5 is a rare little beast now mate. cant b many left.

As i say i couldn't get insurance so it was a no deal anyway, sure mine had wider arches than that

Well mines was an unusual one for a first car. I had a 1985 Renault 25 2.2 GTX. Crazy high insurance at 17, a serious thirst for petrol and well, being a renault it broke down a lot. It did have a snazzy talking computer though. :B_thumb:

Nice one,a lugage hauler:cool:(i like those oldies:o,can't help myself)
Mine was a 1977 mk1 Cavalier 1.6L 4 door in Jade green metallic on an 'R' plate. Fond memories but over-shadowed by the screaming yellow SD1 V8 that replaced it. Thought I was the dogs b******s. 18 and a Rover V8 when all my mates were in Fiestas or mk2 Escorts. Insured under my mother obviously.........happy days.
