First Car...

[carrust]

... What was it?

[Barmaid]

Mine had no rust at all. Apart from the bumper. And I was once stopped by a policeman when I had a car full of drunken footballers who informed me that "I stopped this car because it is very rare with the Special edition gold rust bumper". Barsteward.

white volkswagen - cost me £150 in 1973.

Nearly cost me my life. I was driving back from Castlebellingham to Belfast and at Hillsborough was going round a roundabout - brakes failed. The car toppled over the "wall" of the roundabout and I bounced upside down about 3 times.

Was lying like that for probably seconds when people came over. I asked them to turn me over which they did. I seem to be very cool and collected in an accident. Always.

I walked away unscathed or so I thought but had lumps all over my head, severe bruising on the thighs and so on. No didn't wear a seat belt then. No wonder I am not right.

A Black Standard 8 Side Valve, what a car, the back seat lowered for the best Night's entertainment you could ask for????? Memories.

[Butterbun]

A beat-up old grey mini for £30. Ran ok though and low on petrol. I loved that car.

Even better than a night in the Broadway Hotel, TWR?

[TWR]

lol Of course DT, I would like to have the old bus now, would have been worth a bob or two.

[DTCwordfan]

Bus? - guess it would be good for a mass orgy....

Exactly the same as this one but a '66 model I'd never have sold it but for the *** I ended up marrying,believe me when I was out in that babe I was king of the road.

Ford Popular de Luxe

Bought secondhand, got a surprise when I found out it didn't have a heater. Took me everywhere without fail and never broke down on the road. Pig to start in the winter though.

[Fanriffic]

The Corgi - James Bond DB5 with working ejector seat with rear shield and front machine guns that popped out. I preferred my Matchbox cars over the Corgi and Dinky ones.

First real car was a Peugeot 306.

[TWR]

Your only a Pup yet Fan lol

[DTCwordfan]

I had one of those Aston Martins too! Does my Scalextric count?

[tonyav]

Can't remember if mine was the James Bond DB5 or the Batmobile.
First real car was a Riley Elf mk3.

1957 Austin Cambridge. Cost £30 , it went perfectly for 6 months before the engine blew up, but I got £10 back from the scrap yard for it so a bargain, worked out at £3.33 a month. Oh yes, I remember now I sold the clock for £2 so even more of a bargain.

[silliemillie]

Mine was a Vauxhall Viva, loved that car.

[EDDIE51]

^^ The Cambridge had a bench front seat as well as a huge rear seat!
Me and my girlfriend in the front and my best mate and his girlfriend in the back. Passion Wagon !
