first car

[thedweeb]

Well I was clearing the attic out last week and came across my very first car Reg doc's, what a blast from the past!!! It was a 1974 mark 1 escort,oh what fond memories Anyway I thought it would past a bit of time if we all posted what our first car was and why. So mine was a blue Mk 1 which belonged to a friend of the family...My mother bought it for me for passing my test, Bless her.

MG Montego given to me by my parents when mum got her shiny new BMW, E36 I think (L reg)

Insurance was massive and I think I kept it for about 9 months as I wanted even more power and a bit more street cred !

It was a nice enough present though

I wont list what I drove a si'm embarrassed but I had 6 cars in less than 3 years and at least 3 of em got crashed infact 1 of em was written off,bought off the insurance then written off again And I had a Montego Estate and I loved it although at 20 I did get some grief from mates

First car for me was also an Escort, a Mk II 1.3L with Ghia Alloys cut out the middle section of the bumpers and put a huge set of spot lights on it However Ari Vatanen, I was not, and with in 8 months it was stuffed into a tree after a silly sideways moment fond memories indeed.

Renault Clio 1.4 RT with a missing N/S mirror! Great little car with some great memories! Plenty of pranks done on it but then I did plenty of things to my mates cars too!

Audi 80 for me, insurance in NL is young driver friendly - i.e. it does not matter what you drive as the insurance will be based on the value of the car.

Did the Montego not fall apart around tour ears ? I had a mate who had one and I've never seen so much rust on a car

Mini for me ....mini 1000 with cooper badges a 2 inch peco straight through exhaust minilight wheels on yoko's, spotlights and a brixton steering wheel ....man i thought that was the best car in the world
I couldn't find any pics of me first but found some of the second....I bought a knakered mini 1275 gt for £80 and did it up from scratch.I spent a small fortune (at the time)on it iirc it was about £1800 by the time i had fully welded everything,repaired the rag top roof and resprayed it (with tins as i couldn't afford to have it done professionaly)....i must have spent a fortune on cans
Then i thrashed it around the pembrokeshire back roads for aboput 6 months and then sold it for about £400 iirc
Ahhh them were the days in the old minis

Here's a pic sorry about the quality but digi cams wern't about then and it's aphoto of an old photo.
