Your 1st car?


Recommended Posts

What was your 1st car? how old was you, what did you pay insurance, did you mod it?

i had a 93 1.4 golf CL at 20, (in 2002) had 64k on it sold it with 80k 3 years later. put 17s on it lowered 40mm, exhaust, debadged it all round ect, 17s did slow it down even more lol

paid 1500 fully comp !sad twice as much as i pay for a modded VR now !dodge

loved the car tho had nearly no problems in 3 years, was slow as feck but got twice as many mpg as i get in the VR.

This was my first car! Mk2 Escort 1.1 with an enormous 41bhp!! This was back in 1995 when you could still find a one owner from new mk2 Escort, with a two door shell, for only a few hundred quid! Did the traditional mk2 mods - Revolution 4 spokes, Peco exhaust, tiny steering wheel etc. Oh how I wish I'd never sold it, would be worth loads now too!!

Strangely, like matey above, I paid about

i had a severley rotten mk2 fiesta 1.4s, bigger weber carb, kent cam, ashley exhaust, rollcage, sparco seats ( cost more than double the car!! %-6 ), harnesses and pepperpots!, yes i actually bought a set!! :D and the best bit, the springs were cut down to less than half!!

i had all the rite bits just picked the worst shell possible, was a fun car to drive tho, used to beat xr2`s no bother!! ended up in a ditch after bein a bit to adventurous wi the liftoff oversteer, was good practice tho!! it cost me 200 to buy the original car and over a grand to insure!! %-6

(Pictured at Inters 2002)

Fitted with 15" RH, GTI/Scirocco brakes, piper cam,electric fuel pump, DIY polished head, single silencer system (v unusal sound but i loved it at the time!)... and much much more. Pretty much everything got replaced and power up to a mighty 85bhp !amazed (felt like a rocket to me back then!). Far too much money spent but a good intro to dubs
