A fawn VW Beetle 1971, 1.6L. T'was slow as feck but I loved it....

BMW 2002 tii. Fooked that off quick smart - cost a fortune in fuel. Replaced it with a sedate Mark III Cortina 1300.

Triumph Herald 1260

 

nobody asked what year you got it

Ford Fiesta. Yellow 1.1. T-Reg. Bucket seats. All the sport-type trimmings.

Was a mess really. Got stolen (thank fook).

 

did me proud going to Tranmere once - with a leak in the back - there was a puddle about 6 inches deep - so my passengers had to lift their feet up onto the seat!!

One of these beauties!

Did you only get your first car when you where 30?? :yahoo:

 

Mine was a W reg Mini, decked out in a kind of leopard skin interior that would have done Bet Gilroy proud!!!

 

Sold it two years later and it had rusted to buggery! Thats British Leyland for you!

Bright Red VW Beetle 72 plate. I passed my test only to find my boyfriend had bought it me (spoilt bitch!). It only cost him about ?300 but was in perfect nick. It had 25,000 genuine miles on the clock, was owned by a spinster school teacher who had left it in the garage for years. Bonus when I found out I didn't have to tax it.

 

Seen it since in Westhoughton painted a horrible metallic purple. I have great memories (not mammories) of this car. My first outing was to the three pigeons at hunger hill on a sunday when i accidentally switched the windscreen wipers on, on a red hot day and could not, for the life of me, work out how to switch the buggers off. I used to love the american style wagon wheel size steering wheel!

 

Another time I drove 6 miles without taking the handbrake off :blink: , thankfully I have changed and can now park on a sixpence!

 

I could not get used to the Beetle community waving at me manically just because I was driving the same car - weird.

 

Fond memories anyhoo!

Well, I bet you've not even heard of it.... never mind seen one

 

Wartburg Knight.................two stroke

A blinged up to the eyeballs fanny magnet Morris Marina, with a vinyl roof - YBN 87OV.

 

That's when I found out that you can't polish a turd.

You'd be wrong pal. Knew it well. A few around Tonge Moor area and the old codger next door had one. Weird sounding fookers them Wartburgs.

A Datsun 100A in that yucky mustard colour :)
