Mine was a 1971 beetle, lowered, limo black glass all round, wicked sound system to play all my rock and metal tunes on.
Bought it at 14 and spent 3 years restoring it ready to drive when i passed my test.
That was 10 years ago, and i miss it so much i went and built this last month

My first car was a 1994 renault 19 16v exec.bought it with Decent mileage and pretty decent nick payed well over the odds for it but i fell in love as soon as i saw it
in the 5yers i ownd it, i binned the zorst kandn filter and the horrid 6x9s on the shelf replaced every bastard thing imaginable on the fooker,bare metal respray and got it back to standard
I MISS THAT CAR SO MUCH
sold it 7months after getting the cossie as i had no where to keep it.

my first a 79 mini,1340,hi-lift cam,big valve head,flowed 1"3/4 su,port matched manifolds,cherry bomb with 1800 marina back box ,wide arched,stripped out,perspex windows(black couldnt see out at night),matt black,semi deseemed,6" wide alloys with white walls .
still got it and may sort it out one day [/quote]
Cheers dude...keep thinking once its road legal again I may transfer the plate to the cossie. The bug will still get an age related plate issued so no worries there. Teardrops were a utter nightmare with the police...they didnt like red indicators
LEE IVATT: Orange bug looks well mate

This was my first car
When I bought it...
Then after a little bit of modding...
Didn't have it too long, but it was pretty good for learning in and as a first car in my opinion

1979 dull orange mini bought from a guy in the local motor club.
It had weller wheels, a Janspeed exhaust and a spotlight on the boot lid.
I added a cage, bucket seats & harnesses, a set of Cibie Super Oscars and a CB radio.
Lasted 6 months then rolled it while practising my left foot braking LOL
Had my mate in the car and i can remember my last words, "watch this"

my first car was a 1.4lx mk5 escort 5dr i bought for £300 then i put mk4 xr3i alloys on it
i had it for 4 months then put it through a mot and it failed big style the biggest bit it failed on was the chassis was splitting in the middle so we chopped it in for my old mans escort and got £250 for it

Pulled out in front of a van, repaired it, old lady pulled out in front of me and killed it again, was trying to sell at the time so I was more than happy!
