An X reg 1.3 Cavalier saloon in snot green.

Within a couple of weeks I'd filled it full of 'Longmill' subs & amps etc, limo tinted the windows, bolted on a set of Astra GTE alloys, lowered it (with a blowtorch ), cherry bomb exhaust and stuck a 2ft high ganja leaf on the bonnet with 'Mission Aborted (Gone for a spliff)' in the windscreen.

My 1st car was an A reg nissan cherry europa, the one with the alfa Romeo engine fitted.

I paid £70 for it back in 1997 when I was only 15. I bought a maxpower magazine as it had a massive bright yellow "maxpower" sticker for the back window. I used to move it back and forth on the driveway so it didnt sieze up

Scrapped it about a year later as it was rotten, got £30 off the scrap man for it.

D reg 1116cc 5dr Fiat Uno (mk1) "60-S"

Cracking little car! Nothing went wrong with it other than an ignition module, a rotor arm and one clutch change (which might have had something to do with me only just passing my test LOL)

Revved to fuck, no limiter, cained the tits off it everywhere - loved that car

Strictly speaking my first car was a rather cool bubble arched Mk1 Mex' when I was 17 years old

Unfortunately it never saw the road Not to mention me never getting my car license until a full 10 years later ( due to a love of very quick sportsbikes) So first car owned & drove (legally) a less than impressive 1.2 Turquoise Corsa

1985 Mini Mayfair in red.

26,000 miles from new.

As tight as absolute fook when I got my hands on it - I dont think it had ever been above 50 mph in its life. (It was my dads before I bought it off him)

6 months later I got it off the clock! a Whole 90 mph!!!

(on a private test track officer! )

Sold it in the middle of winter for a Cavalier with a heater that worked.. regretted it ever since!
