Your First Ever Car!

Featured Replies

Do you remember the thrill of getting your very own first car?

I thought it would be an interesting thread to see what everyone's first car was and pics if you have them!

My first car of my very own.....

When I got a better car, I couldn't bear to sell her so she is still sat on a friends farm. Didn't want anyone else with a pink car on the island!

Anyway, was a Fiesta 1.4CVH petrol freestyle... Gotta love carbs!! spent ages tweaking them! lol musty have gained 1 maybe 2 bhp!!

Arrr it's sad when you think of it not being around anymore :( That's why mine is still sat there and hasn't been scrapped, even when I have been really short of cash!

This was mine: dsc00089ga.jpg

My first car was a completly standard 1997 Toyota Starlet 1.3 non turbo 3 door, had 42,000miles on the clock when i bought it for 1,500 euro in 2005 i spent over 5,000euro modifying it then sold it on, but ive saw it twice this year so she's still on the road although i wouldnt drive it now the way i had it styled is no longer to my taste lmao Picture005-1.jpg16062009439-1.jpgSteeringwheel-1.jpg09052009395-1.jpg13072009478.jpg09052009395.jpgPicture008.jpg13072009479.jpg

Then what happened to my car :( image005fn.jpg

My first ever car is my fezzy! After my dad suddenly past away 3 years ago when it was coming round for me to start driving a year later, with the money he had left me i was flicking through dealer sites to see if anything caught my eye and when i saw "Oscar" i fell in love. My mum phoned the dealer straight away to see if they still had it and if they did could we take it out for a test drive. Although I knew from the beginning it would have to be a fiesta, as my brother and sister both had when they were learning and my dad had owned many classic fiestas so it was kind of a tradition to own one.. ^_^

The first picture i ever saw of my baby :wub: He'll be 4 on his birthday this year! :D

My very first 'car' was an NSU Prinz 4L, the same as the one in the pic. Same colour as well. The reg. was PSP 345J. It had an air cooled 600c.c. 2 cylinder engine. I bought it from my maths teacher for £25 when I was 16! Now I know why maths was not my best subject! :lol:post-26406-0-40378100-1339105393_thumb.j

first car was a Triumph Stag v8, went like hell and so did the fuel! but when your young and single it did not seem to matter so much.

First car was a Fiesta Popular E138GRF... was very basic, a world away from my current Fester

First one was a triumph 2000TC.

Nice wood interior and rotten door skins.

My first car was a seat Ibiza 1.6 sport and only seem to keep my cars a year so gone through a fair few lol xx

Some of you guys are showing your age here ^_^

I don't have any pictures but mine was a Mk3 Fiesta. Called it Skippy cause it was just that....a skip! Did a fair old chunk of mileage in it though and couldn't fault it. My mum even had it after me for a year!

Those old fiestas were like little tanks weren't they. Lasted forever :)

Still have my first car, a mk1.5 focus (2004) 1.6L

My first car was a 1953 Standard Vanguard
