Green VW Polo 1.0l 1988 Saloon.

I loved it, was an amazing car to drive and was fairly nippy.

Had it 2 years to get the NCB but needed £200 worth of work doing to pass the MOT, t'wasnt worth it in the end frown

Posted By: Tony MK2 Re: Your first car - 29th Feb 2004 3:14am
my first car was a 1.2 nova which i bought for £35.00 what a heap of sh1t that was, i sunk £200.00 into it to make it look like a decent car with the reg plate being C***COW and did i get some stick over that plate anyway i took it for its m.o.t and it failed on everythink except the bloody LIGHTS i was gutted to say the least, also found out that the hole bloody car was a death trap and that it was rusted every where but i couldn't see it i didn't want to see it but the b*tch got the better of me and it had to go, anyway i took it to me local scrappy and they said that i would have to pay them to take it away so i went to me other local scrappy and they gave me £25 quid for it and that was the end of that.

And 10 months down the line i buy me misses a vw golf and what a car in half that is, we have had it know for about 15 months

citroen ax jazz 954 cc 5dr in white cost me £575, 3 months down the line i found a 5dr axgt, bought the gt the day before the tax ranout for £20 and spent the next day gutting the poor car, i mean everything had to go in to mine. Once i removed the carpet i found about £8 underneath. 4 hours later took the car to the scrapy and sold it for £10. So in all for £2 i got full gt interior and bumbers and plenty of spares. Then some bugger crashed into the side of me and wrote it off, Gutted

My first car was a little yellow vauxhall chevette 1.3,it's original price was £580 but i got the £80 knocked off.
The insurance on it was £390 a year and they gave me 35% no claims as part of the package.
i used to call it the banana mobile.
Anyway that was my first car.


Take care.Sal.

My first car is the jeep, bought on 5th October 2002. I needed it for launching boats in Wales and intended to use it off road for pleasure whenever I got bored, turns out I got addicted modding it. People ask me "why?", my answer to them is "Why not?". I love that jeep and I'm never gonna let her die - just keep on rebuilding and modding. Got left the Astra last November as a second car, gladly accepted as the jeep wasn't likin the 500-1000 miles per month I was putting on it with the mods and the off roading.

Can't fault the Astra aside from being slow, it's economic, comfortable, nice drive, and best of all - the shockies are so good I can get a foot of air and aside from a few sparks from the exhaust I have no fears of shakin the car to bits wink fantastic. Besides, I have a knack to makin things move fast, I can still beat off my mates in a 1.4 Fiesta and a 1.4 Clio RT... don't forget this Astra is a 1.7D - Non Turbo cool
