Borzoi

A six year old Toyota Carina E, with about 90K on the clock. Terrific car, the only time it let me down was when the original battery died at around 105K. Nearly wrote it off the first time I drove it!

The first car I drove was a hand me down 1995 ford fiesta from my brother. I shared it with my younger brother for 6 months, but then I started having to commute to work, so I got myself a 1997 polo 4 door. I sold that a month ago and now I have a 1999 vw Bora 1.6 comfortline, so thats 3 cars I've had in one year I do drive alot though.

Got rid of it 20 months after getting it. Disaster of a car, never ever again. Hopefully picking up a 98 Lancer in August.

Until then I'm on my Moped.

PaddyFagan

I had a 98 clio (Mark II), bought her at three months old - ex demo.

I kept her for five years, only one problem - cracked fuel line, not a big deal expect for the muppets in the garage who didn't put it back together right! (Ended up in the fast lane of the M50, going 70 mph when the engine cutout!)

Picking up my fourth car today, 1.6 FSI Golf Plus - spot the guy with the young kid!

The first car I learned to drive in was my dad's 1988 Nissan Bluebird 1.8. It was dog slow, had the aerodynamics and style of a stone but it was the bee's knees to me at the time.

My first car that I owned was a 1991 Nissan Sunny 1.4 with 90k on the clock. Grand little car. The car cost me £3,500 and the insurance was £2,000 TPFT :eek: .

I had the Sunny for 12 months, the only issues I had with it were that both front wheels needed new bareings and there was a problem with the heater. It would only blow cold air which was a slight problem in the cold winter mornings. The problem was with the leaver that switched the fan from cold to hot air. I carried a pair of pliers in the glove box to force the leaver from cold to hot in the winter.

We had two new Hillman Avengers when I was a kid, so I'm going to guess at around 1972 or thereabouts. By the way, it was Jinksy in Pixie, Dixie and Mr. Jinks that used to say "I hate all meeces to pieces!"

The first car I owned was a Citroen AX GT. Bought it from a mate, it was his first car as well. He'd christened it Hector and the name stuck, although none of my cars since have had names that stuck. We were together about two years when the head gasket went and I thought it was time to turn Japanese.

First Car I owned : 1992 1.4 Ford Escort. Bought in 1999. Had it for about 2 years. It was an ok enough car. Solid, comfortable and fairly reliable.

First car I was insured on : My parents 1987 Toyota Carina. They bought it in 1992. Was an ex-squad car. I always liked that car.

What I learned to drive on : A 20 year old 1965 Fordson Super Dexta (That's a tractor for all ye Palers...) when I was 8 years old.
