Nug878 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think if i ever changed my car it will be another ford. I'm going for another Ford, and I can see me getting a few more in years to come. It's funny because my Dad absolutely hates Fords. Always has done, even more so when he had a Mk3 Fiesta diesel as a temporary car before he bought his current car on finance. I drove that mk3 and it made a small part of me die ... Buuuuut, my old Focus has converted me I must be honest. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmcdermott Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The only thing with the clio was that the tdc sensor went, thats why it broke down on me twice, got a scare from the bd people saying that the cam bekt had gone, again was only the sensor which was £22!

AndrewL Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I like this thread. My first car was a 98 'R' Peugeot 106 1.1 60bhp. I loved that car, with just me in it it felt really quite rapid - with 5 in going up a hill it did not! Then the head gasket, exhaust and driveshafts went. And the fuel gauge stopped working... and the brakes were terrible. Still loved it. Looked identical to this: Micheal I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "I had my heart set on a Seat before"! Which one do you like? Ibiza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M.K Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 My first car was a Peugeot 107 1.0 68BHP. It would be 3 years old next month :o Was nice for a first car, and it only cost £6,000 brand new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smett72 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 My first car was an R reg Mk2 Escort Ghia 1300 with vinyl roof! It was nearly as old as I was! Sorry don't have any pics, but it was just like this one although in red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
