How's that work out for you? How old when you could get insurance?

pased my test when i was 21 and started driving it about 3 weeks after that. was expensive but then what first car isn't these days?

1979 mk2 ford escort in ford Roman bronze (shitty brown) looked like this one

nova kit car

 

Me and a friend once pooled our pennies to buy one of these, thinking we could put it back on the road.

 

This would be about 18 years ago and, even then, a replacement windscreen was ridiculous money!

 

We ended up doing little bits to the bodywork and then just selling it on as neither of us could really afford to be throwing money at it. :(

 

I remember thinking how out of this world it would have looked on the road, and how crazy the Nova looked in Cannonball Run 2. Shame we didn't manage to get it back on it's wheels.

 

I know... mint story... :lol:

Ha ha Mr Mondo, mine was in electric green with a strange dashboard that was digital, it had a phone inside that didn't work as well, it's lump was a bog standard 1200 vw, it looked the nuts but was slow and reliable. I used to drive from Brum to pendine sands / saundersfoot every weekend I could and go camping in it, a great car and the attention it got was incredible for its day. I loved the roof opening on it.

Any pictures of this bad boy...?

Like so many of my cars when I was younger, I don't have photos, but she looked a lot like the above, with much better wheels.

I started of a 1996 civic 1.5 vtec-e only 90bhp but sounded great with an induction kit! I added the wheels exhaust and lowered it. Bought in 2004

I then moved onto a 1998 BMW E36 323i coupe. Massive increase in performance, I didn't realise it st the time but the thing was mint! Although I didn't add the slightly dodgy alloys. Bought in 2005

Then it was Z32 time. 1992 lwb TT auto which I had for a little while and converted to manual. I did 14k miles in 18 months actually which is pretty good for a 300zx. I was 20 when I bought this in early 2007

She had started to get tired so I lost faith, changed jobs and fancied German again so back to a 1997 E36 M3 Evo. Bought in 2008

Then by 2009 a slicktop is known since it came into the country had slowly made its way to about 8 miles from my house and came up for sale so I couldn't really say no. 1995 Slicktop TT manual. Did quite a bit on this one, painted body and wheels, all upgraded front brakes new coil overs and full interior change.

And we come to 2012, I'd had enough of using my van as daily as the slick top was quite hard to live with. I bought a 2002 E39 M5. Stunning car was utterly reliable

Then in 2013 I fancied a play mate for the M5 and bought a 99 P38 4.6 HSE a complete pain in the bum but very lovable.

By 2014 the M5 was getting ready for some work, service clutch and a bit of paint after I scuffed a bumper. I elected to sell as is and out the money towards a 2005 E63 650i.

Then by 2015 my partner was new to give birth to our son so the Rangie went and I bought a 2003 E39 530i sport touring for family duties but we never really gelled.

Which brings us to January 2016 where I went a bit mad an bought a late 2001 P38 Vogue. I won't learn will I.

Current fleet sits as the 650i and the Vogue plus my other halfs 116i and my van. Phew!

Not my pics but I think my first car was a MG ZB Magnate?

I remember the number plate as WRU 905!

Being Australian, the obvious choice was a decision between Holden and Ford. Unfortunately, having seen the Z32 debut at the Motorshow some years before, I'd sparked an interest in the Japanese offerings.

 

Ended up with a Datsun 260Z 2+2 with the L26 motor instead changed out for an Aussie influenced Holden 186... bored out to a 192 cubic inch, high compression head, sports cam and a little more fruit added to the mix.

 

Displeased the old Datsun purists almost as much it would chew through the front differential rubber mount

First car was a 1500cc Beetle bought from my Uncle. Never got to drive it on the toad as I wasn't old enough, not the actual but it was a stunner,image.jpeg

 

Sold the bug just before I passed my test and bought a MK2 Ford Cortina, sadley not anywhere near as good as the one below, or the GT version, just a 1300cc, was the same colour though, but had hand painted sills and boy were they rotten!

A D reg (1986) AUSTIN MINI 1000 CITY E in BEIGE and had a drivers side brown door :cool2:

 

It cost me £95 to buy and £998 to insure it! I sold it for £350 after a respray and some other bits. One of two cars I regret selling.
