Your first car ??

Suzuki SJ413 Upgrade of the 410.

 

2" lift and mud terrains, would go anywhere but no where fast and when it rained hard you got wet feet.

I cant beleive no one else had a Mk1 Fiesta 1.1 great litle car, if it needed any parts just pop down the scrappy and help yourself for a small fee, there were thousands sold. Cheapest car to run for an 18 year old in 1992:001_smile:

then a rover 200

when driving back from a mates house at bout 2am i went to flick my full beams on but as i pulled my hand away i accidently turned all my lights off, i was going a little bit too fast aswell, i got the lights back on just in time to see the 10ft deep ditch i was heading towards. rolled twice down the ditch and also smashed my phone in the process, had to walk for about an hour to get to a pay phone!!

 

then a mk1 caddy pickup which i loved but it just fell to pieces, litterally!

 

now a 'semi rat look' mk3 golf that i cant drive through town cos i had it lowered and i struggle to get over the speed bumps!!! D'uh!!!

[TheTreeWiseMen]

950cc Ford Fiesta, reg plate was TLU 510R......which would make it a 1977.

[Charlieh]

D reg peugeot 205 1.1l which within 6months had cooked the engine due to a 10p o ring failing, engine repair cost more than the car was worth but had the head skimmed, carb fettled with and it was a beast, could smoke my mums rover 216gsi easily but didnt have the street cred i needed, so progressed to a peugeot 106xs special edition job, it had a 1.4l 8v engine, low geared box, and i fitted pipercross induction kit, which made it sound like an f1 car, it weighed the grand total of 690kg and was the fastest accelerating car i have ever owned, i crashed it into a tractor head on, on a slippy back road, but just got it sorted and loved it, i want another one. It would eat my mk3 golf gti for breakfast, less said about the golf the better,

Brown Datsun 210. Automatic. With orange tartan seats.

 

I didn't modify it, lower it, lift or improve it. I think I changed one of the windscreen wipers once.
