First driven mk3 3i's and Xr4i's,ok at 14 you cant really take em on the road
Cars being a couple of years old and my old man being a trader with probably 30 odd cars at a time.First Ford owned,Mk1 Escort 1740 or 60 or something,then mk2 then a fez.Admittedly when I first started to drive legally I was a Fiat freak.They were always faster,and not just at rotting
Oh and then I was on trade at 17 because no one would insure me because I had been banned twice,D'oh !!.Young and stupid and loved motorbikes.

My first Ford was a 3 year old MK2 XR2 when I was 18 back in 1991. It's reg was F661 FTO. Loved that car. Had a Power Engineering 1905cc conversion done. The thing flew. I'll dig some pictures out and get them scanned.

First car was my first ford, a Ka 1.3 standard as feck only optional extra was PAS.
Second car was a focus 1.8 hated it the whole 3 years i was driving it
Third car im on now is a SportKa and i fucking love it surprises so many bigger cars even in a straight line, handles like a dream and they are still so moddable. Have compomotives and sticky tyres on it, eibach springs.
Depending on time and money i might be running a 2.1 ZT by classicford show.
Also in my household there are 4 cars all fords, have grown up with mainly fords (or pauxhalls)

I've only ever owned fords.
My first was in late 1999 when i passed my test, got a brand new mk4 Fiesta 1.25 zetec as out insurance was mental, so it worked out cheaper to buy a brand new car with 3 years free insurance than it was to buy a cheap car and insure it

My first car was a 1992 1.3 Escort LX, bought from an auction for 300 quid. My old man drove it back to me waiting excitedly outside the house for it, jumped out of it and said 'well, the gearbox is fucked'! Great!
Looking back at it now, it was a total shitheap! Leaked, so it stank of damp, had no stereo and i never got around to fitting one, and was slow as hell....still, didnt stop me loosing control in the wet, hitting a traffic island, sliding through a T-junction sideways at about 50mph and wrapping it around a lampost!!!
