My first car was a Cavalier Commander 4 door saloon, I thought I was a real pimp gangsta. It didn't even last 'till I'd passed my test.

So I bought a Pug 205 1360cc instead. Damn that was a good car.

Red K reg Fiesta 1.1, no glovebox door, center console, milage trip, ash tray, cigarette lighter or rev counter i think it was possibly the most basic fiesta they did it was just a 1.1 no name

i worked for avo so i fitted some coilovers on lowest hardest setting, blew the engine up swapped it with a mate for a sub, the car then recieved a repaint, 1.9 cvh, bodykit, 17's, FRST interior etc so it became better than the 1.6 si i bought next!

Was driving at 13 and had a few mk3 cortina's, mk 1 escort mexico, rover p6 2000 and a silver xj6 at 15, but first legal car I owned after I passed my test was a rover 3500 v8 sdi, I put it into a tree at 80mph not long afterwards and it looked more like a citroen, tough old motor though walked away without a scratch luckily

Bought my first car when I was 19 for Ł880 back in '98. A 1983 Mk1 Astra GTE - cool car IMO and a classic - I'd wanted one for years and just saved until I could afford it and insure it!
- It looked like this when I sold it.
