What was your first vehicle?

[David Riding]

landy and ifor livestock trailer, used to jam in brash and it would take ages to get it out.

[John Hancock]

mine was a Mini Cooper, bored out to 1380cc.....went like buggery!

[kipperfeet]

MK1 vw caddy pickup. ran on the sniff an oily rag and i never put a spanner to it. Had 278,000 on the clock when i sold it and it's the worst thing i ever did - sell it that is.

 

Missed it so much i bought another recently just for fun. Surprising what you can get in the back and did 50mpg easy.

Cheers for the replies everyone - went to a van dealership yesterday and they have advised me to get a vaxual astravan and then use it with a trailer. Will be the most economical vehicle to get as im still travelling 50mile round trip to college 2/3days a week.

Hi everyone- as the title says I was wondering what vehicles you had when you first started out.

 

Im looking at getting my first vehicle for general garden/tree work that is economical and cheap to insure (im only 18!)

 

Any thoughts would be welcome!

fiat panda 4x4 (b reg) excellent view of the road......................through the holes in the floor

I'm hanging my head in shame, mine was a Mini Metro 980cc it was a heap of s*it and its 0-60 time was a couple of days. But at that time i was the dogs or so i thought.

funny enough i never pulled in it:confused1:

Citroen C15D van, loads of room

 

Then a tired but tough as nails Vauxhall (Isuzu) 4x4 pickup- lower slung than most, and gutless for towing but a sweet truck. The Vauxhall and Chevvy's are still around, a good way to get a cheap Japanese truck

Series III diesel Land Rover 109,soooo slow I keep expecting to get stuck behind me in traffic 26 years on.

[Pro Gard]

Isuzu trooper with Ifor williams P6e trailer ford mondeo as back up lol.

 

Used to fold down the seats, pole saw in diagonally, saws etc all jamned in. The trailer had side extensions and a home made ladder rack and Id load it up with well over a ton, loaded in then mashed up with a saw then racheted down lol.

 

That was until the whole axle asembly snaped off and parted company at 40 mph and I upgraded lol!! i sold the trailer for exactly what I paid for it.

 

These days I have a ford transit mk6, nissan navara and a Ifor LM trailer.
