I was taught in a BSM metro (around 1984). First car I owned was a ford Capri. Full of rust and cost me a packet to run.

Driving along Brighton seafront, arm out of the window, music blaring. Oh what a boy racer I thought I was. I see kids do the same now and tut (a true sign of getting old)

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

MK I Ford Escort (FOU 414K) with SERVO brakes £150 in 1987.

I spent eons sorting the rust out then whilst my mate towed me to a garage the front of the car got disconnected from the chassis

I'm obviously a shit rust repairer.

Thankyou, I blame Thatcher for my education!

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

I also had the mk1 escort but i got the estate.

Plenty of room for Shagging in the back with a nice thick piled carpet added as an extra just for the ladies comfort!!

My first car was a 1959 Morris minor.

Cost me £65 to buy and £75 to insure Third Party Fire and theft.
(I was an 18 year old learner at the time).

It lasted 5 months, enough for me to pass my test. I sold it for a fiver.

The first car I drove was my step-fathers old Montego, in a fairly empty car-park in Reigate.

But mostly whilst I was learning it was in my instructors dual-control Pug 205, and my Mum's MkII Golf GL - a car now owned by me and just approaching 140k on the clock.

Ford Capri - which was a fairly chavvy ride at the time. Mine had a black vinyl roof over a metallic green body, so was relatively CLASS

Parental help bought it.
The next one was a Cadillac, which I rode around filled with megasuperstars. It had that 'old burned-up dashboard' smell sometimes, when the sun was extremely hot. But all the electric stuff worked, I could even change the radio station with a foot button!

 

[Bobby's Gull]

A renault clio which I wrote off a year ago today.

 

[moggy]

Probably a silly question but how do you write a car off twice?

 

[rool]

I did my lessons in a Fiesta, can't remember who with though.

My first car was a Hillman Imp

 

[Gully]

First ever driving lesson was in a very old Vauxhall Viva, my teacher was a neighbours German au pair girl, before you ask I was about 13 years old and it wasn't on a public highway. First car I owned was a MkII Escort, was a complete and utter rust bucket, bought it for £750 in 87 and sold it two years later for £650 when it was even rustier, if only all cars depreciated that slowly in value.

 

[Legend]

Talbot Horizon. Lovely car. I wrote it off within the year

 

[Giant Seagull]

A 1994 vauxhall corsa 1.4 and it had electric windos and everything, and one of the first to be made at Luton
