what was your firstever car (to drive)

[desprateseagull]

i learnt to drive in a nissan sunny- very forgiving (or was the instructor fooling me, with the dual controls?!)..

i then got a mini for the weekend, with friends taking up n down the motorway for practice- very nervy, but fun!

then it all went wrong, when i got a skoda estelle..

last car was a nice looking peugeot 309, but forever having bits go wrong..

Mini Panel Van! Coolest car ever, then it became freezing, due to the draught as the battery dropped out (it sits on the floor behind the driver)...

I learned on one of these, rather uncomfortable it was.

First one I owned was one of these, quite flash in its day.

You must have hit a divot or a pavement at top speed to manage that feat

A 1980 Polo, in 'Volkswagon Orange'.

Brilliant car. Reliable as any thing but rusted away. By the end, if you lifted the mats up, you could see the road whizzing by under the driver's feet, Flinstone stylee!

A proper cool little beast of a motor:

Although mine was a 1989 F reg and had silver MG badging down the sides.

Wasn't a bad car, and went surprisingly quick, but alas as with most Metro's, it died after about 80,000 miles and never recovered.

I loved that little car though, they certainly don't make 'em like that anymore

Nope, they (not Rover!) normally build cars to last way longer nowadays!

No I had been working during the day in Oxleys Fish Shop, then in the evening at Worthing Trades & Labour Club then took my wife to be back home to Ferring and went for a drive to see how fast it would go up to the Storrington roundabout and then nodded off going down near the Black Horse.

The GPO had the cheek to charge me for a new telegraph pole that I hit but didnt break.

[*Gullsworth*]

I was a boy-racer and my first two cars were mark 1 Escorts!

 

[JJ McClure]

First car I ever drove was my Dad's Cavalier round a field.

First car I drove on the road as a learner was a Montego.

First car I owned was a 1.3 Fiat Uno. Not a bad little car to be fair other than the time it broke down on the Gatwick Perimeter road and a wagon full of armed police turned up.

Learnt to drive in a Fiesta, taught by a bloke who had SLAG tattooed on his knuckles....nice. Then managed to crash me mums Fiat 126, thank god. At least it forced her to upgrade, she got a f***ing Fiat Panda - some people never learn!!!!
