your first car?

[poxon 5,861]

My first legal car was a lowered pug 309 gti rep registered as a 1.3 bloody great car used to go well for only being 1.3 I’ve had loads of cars over the years a good few before I passed my test and many after

Hands down the greatest lamping wagon of all time , the escort 75 van 

Are you even a lurcher man if you’ve never had one ? At one time in Carlisle you would genuinely see a dozen a time fuelling up along Scotland road in a Friday night with lads sat outside taking shit . It was like the worst version of fast and furious you’ve ever seen 

I had one great van bought it for £75 quid as it was leaking oil as fast as the bloke was putting it in got it home crawled underneath it and he had a hole in the sump were he had rode over the curb I stuck a self tapper with a tap washer in the hole and drove it for a few years got hit in it wrote off got 2k payout bought it back for a oner put a new wing on it and flogged it for £400 plus it ran sweet on veg oil that was 17p a litre at the time before the gov twigged so a nice little van and a nice little earner

First car was a Ford 100E, I think it was a 1959 model. A rust bucket, but as has been said, things like an MOT were “optional extras”, like wing mirrors and radios, back then ! LOL !

As for dog motors, Morris 1000 van, a few Viva vans, a Simca 1100 van, an ex police Maestro, but when I went abroad I moved a bit more up market; Subaru AWD Estate;

Range Rover;

And when I came home I got a Hyundai Santa Fe;

Cheers.

It was quality having a car like that at 18, for some reason I got it into my head I wanted a BMW, sold the xr2 and bought one, I instantly regretted it

And here's me thinking that parking on the pavement is a product of the current ignorant/selfish mindset of people. How is someone pushing a pram or wheelchair meant to safely get past that? At that time it was only BMW drivers though

Charts thats a blast from the past. Before I had a car my mate had a 100E an ex police car it had a metal disc in the middle. of the roof where the old light was mounted. Before that had had the old upright one. I remember going rabbiting up on Dartmoor one day with four of us. If we came to a steep hill two of us had to get out and push then he would go on and we would have to meet at the top of the hill, it only had three gears. I think I'm right that the wipers worked of the exhaust and were hopeless.

Cheers Arry

I think the one before the 100E was the 95E popular, nicknamed “the sit up and beg”. I had one of those aswell but the 100E was the first one sort of legal ! LOL !

I remember the wipers working off a vacuum system from the engine intake, the faster the engine revved, the faster the wipers went !

Cheers.

I knew it was something like that. If it was pissing down and you were going down hill and not using the engine much the wiper couldn't keep up Lol.

it seems, that a lot of us had some older cars ranging back from late 50`s through to the 90`s but we wished we still had them....why is that?....

is it because it was our first car...or, the freedom you had to go places...or, the value at todays prices....or, just for the memories....

Id say, nostalgia, it rakes us back to our younger days, when times seemed easier and we were just after the lips between the hips lol, except for pardus, rumour has it purple aki took out a stalking order against him
