Default a list of your first few cars.

from 1987,when i passed my test i was car mad which was fuelled by being around them all through my apprenticeship to the current day,many years later.
god where do i start-
well my first car was a datsun 120y automatic-£150 and it did 109mph on the speedo!
from then it was a green mini that was absolutely rotten,then a blue mk2 escort 4 door with 205 tyres on the rear and a rev counter where the driver air vent was!!!
traded that in for a beige 1100 mk2 escort cos it was a 2 door which got wrote off by some old guy!
my first car bought with a loan(!)was in 1988 when i was 18,a black v reg truimph dolomite 1500 twin carb with all the sprint bits fitted(seats,wheels etc)cost me £750 and i thought i was god....but for some reason the shit thin wheel studs kept snapping-not good when thats what hold the wheel on
i then got my first proper ford-a p reg 1977,x-pack mk2 escort 1600 sport.put a 2.0 in from the scrappy,new cage and painted it with grey primer.

got banned via a points tot up for 3 months-nightmare-had to walk everywhere or get lifts.sold the escort and with my works xmas bonus added to it i bought a 3.0s capri,but had to wait for 2 weeks for my ban to end.

anyway i could go on all night(and next day),but that was my first few cars from the late 80's to early 90's
