What was your first car
As the topic was on TG last night it reminded me of my very first car. Back in 1978 it was.....
A Red Vauxhall Victor 2000 SL (like the one on Randle and Hopkirk). My mum insured it for me in her name for me to "drive to the shops" . I really loved that car for all of 6 months and 2 gearboxes before I wrote it off. Hit a hedge, tree, wall and killed 6 garden gnomes the bloke from the house went nuts saying He had 2 kids asleep in the house, didnt help my pissed up mate saying "your lucky they,re not playing in the garden"....cue the police 3 points £50

Mine was a 1989 white 1.4 Vauxhall Cavalier I bought from my dad for £1(!)
I used it as a part ex for the Astra - it got me £1 discount and a CD player |

Suzuki SC100
It was everything you could want from a first - A coupe with a rear engine and rear wheel drive for doughnuts, a rev counter and sports steering wheel so you felt you were in a sports car, and a 1.0 litre engine so you didn't actually go anywhere fast, but at least you could insure it. Sadly couldn't insure it against the rust though........ |

Mk 1 Astra 1.3. Metallic maroon/brown with beige interior and faded chrome trim round the arches, bonnet lip etc, didn't stay on for long, had it for 6 months untill the mot ran out, it failed on account of the A and B pillars having rusted away from the bottom of the car
