This was were it all started for me some good laughs to be had in this generally with 5 or 6 people squeezed into it :-D
Lasted 4 months and the headgasket went on it got my money back from the garage I bought it from http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/17/e2e8ase3.jpg
Lets see what you started in folks
89' mk3 fiesta 1.0 with a 4 speed box
My first car in 1998. This was the product of years of toil as a paper boy and butcher's assistant.
It was a 1.4 Ryder and although it only had a 4 speed gearbox, it had a rev counter and metallic paint. And it was a Golf.... That meant a lot at that age back then!
It put in 5 years and 60k miles of service and to this day is still the most reliable car I've ever owned.

A nicer photo of it, think I'd discovered Autoglym at this stage by the looks of things...

EDIT:
Six years after I last saw it, I was delighted to spot my old Golf again in 2009...
Now showing 104k, it appeared to be in very good shape for its advancing years. It was good to be reunited again!

It was scrapped in 2012, according to the DVLA.
1982 Audi 80 1.6 saloon , 4 speed manual ,what a beast !!!

My first was a 1995 Opel Corsa. Had it for two years and it was pretty faultless. I sold it to a local farmer after and I think he still has it

The farmer wasnt living at the top of the hill by shanahan hurleys? Could swear he had one identical but could have been a 97 i thinkQuote:

Soul robbing 1.4 xsara complete with fibre glass body kit chromed alloys Lexus lights fart cannon. Cost 2000€ Cost 2010 to insure. Spent about 4k doing it up including full respray. Sounds like a waste of money but we were all at in back in the Max power days. Don't think jap was cool at the time it was so long ago. Funny looking back at the evolution of car trends. Wonder what we will all be at in 5 years? Portable carcoons you can drive in lol
1984 1.0l Opel Corsa. The heater fan never worked so I was constantly wiping the inside of the windscreen in damp weather in order to see where I was going, the radio got mad interference from the distributor so the higher the engine reved, the louder the interference got; got worse when I fitted an interference suppressor!!
But it got me off the motorbike as a daily mode if transport which was better in the winter. Cost me £700 to buy and £1100 to insure in 1995.
Must see if I have a picture of it somewhere in the attic.
My first car was a mk4 Golf 1.4 Jazz Blue. Loved it but only had it for 6 months. Passed my test in it then sold it and bought my first bmw:shy:

Attachment 707
Morto :blush: (Still at 21 y.o. it was transport for £1200 tpft!)
It's not the actual car but it was the very same
No fair!! That's a cool car!! :p
fiat - squeakycento
To give its dues I transported about 15 stone of decorative seats from rush to balbriggan in it :cool:
I still cant figure out how the exhaust fell off !!! That was my first and last experience with gun gum - OH and the learning experience when picking up the exhaust that they get fking HOT!!!
My my haven't we all come along way :D :D :D,
No pictures I'm afraid but mine was a 1989 Peugeot 205 1.0L van in shiny red with a chrome finish tail pipe and hub caps....lol :)
1985 Saab 900i 4-door. Safe, heavy, thirsty, slow, understeery, mad. I loved it! :cool:
I would think this was about 1990 my 1302.
