[Tilly]

That mini is sweet.

[Anton]

I learned and passed in mine as well. lmao the examiner said he liked my rear lights :lol:

[Evolution]

My first car was a completely standard 1litre white nova merit, j reg.
Took me a almost a year after i passed my test before i got one. I only got round to colour coding the bumpers but I had a lot of plans for it once i was off the dole, and when that happened, an old git over took me at a junction i was turning into and smahed into my front driver side. I sorted the bodywork myself, but it just felt like my car was violated and was never the same.....so i sold it. I saw it a few weeks ago with its new owner - brought back a wee tear :lol:

[linzTDI]

mine was a blue Nova SRI got it for my 16th but knew i couldnt get insured for it and also fell out with my dad so he sold it :x :(
but have my little TD now but havent got to drive it yet :(

[wisewood]

Jamaica Yellow 1.2 Merit, D reg.

Still got it... can't bring myself to scrap it.
I had it for about 12 months before i passed my test but couldnt do anything to it because my dad had it at his place near peterborough at the time... When i everntually go tmy grubby little mits on it i abused the poor thing to death - never really did much with it apart from some alloys and an SR interior.

I still love that car though even though it is falling apart behind my place. :D

[frog_southampton]

got my GTE few weeks b4 my 18th, just after i passed my test

still got it now!

still aint taken any photo's!

[jkhilton]

I had a bright orange VW Beetle. It was great, I paid ?250 for it from a family friend and had the pics to show where they had driven it, they had had it from new and it was driven all over europe.

[djp_y2k]

My first car was a silver 1.2 B reg nova.

The rear arches were basically filler held together with a bit of rust.

I did a few mods to it, like new rear arches, a nice red door (thought I would try something different :lol: ), and the rest of the usual stuff.

Then came the gte :D :D :D . Owned that three years, had it off the road for two of them :evil: :evil: :evil: .

[Chris LR]

[locky]

My firs car was:-
F-reg nova merit!
I wrote it off, crashed into a suzuki vitara with bullbars lol (ouch)

[nova302]

my first car was a 1969 ford opus kit car with a 1500cc pre crossflow motor in it. It has twin 40's uprated cam stage 2 head and many other engine mods. (I was quite surprised when my dad came home and told me that i can insure it when i pass my test!)
I bought it when i was 13 and used it round fields and things when i went to shows with my dad.
I still got it but i have a nova aswell at the moment Its a 1.2i fun it has a cordoba splitter, Flushed tailgate, BB2 Back Box, lowered 45mm,Ace alloys, K&N induction kit, GTE interior, Rear diffuser and some GSI skirts (in the post)
And i havent even passed my test yet cos im not quite 17 yet only a month and a bit to go :? (and counting)

[_JH_]

silver mk1 fiesta. this thing was class. chrome bumpers all round, blue interior, metallic paint, no rust and no MOT. my big bro sold it to me when i was about 16 for a 10er. needed a bit of work. me and a mate razzed it around various lanes and fields where i live for about 2 years on and off, until one day it got stuck in the mud. tried to pull it out with the tractor, and nearly got that stuck too.

left it in that field for about 9months. it was by a hedge, and the other side of the hedge was a footpath. the hedge was very thick, with two lines of barbed wire through it. by the end of the 9 months when we pulled it out, there was a hole in the hedge about 10ft wide where all the nosy prats had been climbin through to have a look.

by this time there was no hope of a successful MOT test for less than a small fortune. it sat in an old hay barn next to a tractor for 6 months, then last march we towed it to the scrap yard.

poor little car (sob sob)

[GTE-RACER]

Mine was a Mk1 Fiat Uno Turbo.....................look-a-like lol

[whitey]

Mine was a 1.2 on a B! Some wanker in a Audi smashed into me at crossroads and wasnt insured! After I punched him in the eye, he coughed up ?1000, not bad considering the car cost ?300! LOL

Now have a 1.2 on a J, he paid for that, and half my ICE! SCORED there!

[rustboy]

Sweet!! i gotta start punching more people in the eye :wink:

Bill

[ade]

[MattNovaSport]

My first car was a Fiat Panda Dance all 900cc of it.

That used to Drive to the Easy Coast every weekend.

[Wiggie]

[wisewood]

a amte of mine bought a modified VW beetle while we were still at school - i thought he was mad at the time but soon changed my mind when he passed his test when he was 17 and was driving a car he had been touching up for 18 months :(

[Wiggie]

lol ....id love to go for a beetle!!! but i cant be arsed with the shit they give you, let alone the lack of power! lol, i think im doing ok considering im doing slave labour in a local body shop. muhahaha. pay is shit...parts on the other hand? LOL

[wisewood]

Chris W is about to start work on a subura powered beetle :lol:
cant say that has no power :D

[Wiggie]

eh? how the hell did he fit that in? :o

[wisewood]

He hasnt yet - but it will fit.

[Wiggie]

neway back to spraying the boot floor! then sealing it right up wid wax, nice then the boot in stall can begin.

ill have to see some pix of that when its done, ill be quite interested!

[Benjoyce]

i've been in a porshe 944 powered beetle, f#ckin fast!!

[Wiggie]

(2nd coat drying)

yeah i can understand that coz porches r rear engined, that would go like stink.....shame it cant stop

[Benjoyce]

no he had the breaks form the porshe as well, and alloys

[Wiggie]

lol...ok then, so is there nething which isnt porche on this car? the indictor stalks maybe? lol just kidden. beetles look WELL evil with the nose to the floor!
you got ne pix of this beetle?

[Benjoyce]

na its on a website somewhere i'll try and track it down

[MattNovaSport]

(2nd coat drying)

yeah i can understand that coz porches r rear engined, that would go like stink.....shame it cant stop

The 944 was front engined ! And does not have a boxer engine like the 911 or the bettle

[Benjoyce]

it might have been a 911 engine then?!?! i thought it was 944, but i could be wrong, all i know is it was fast!

[MattNovaSport]

That is probally more likely, as the 944 is also water cooled which would have ment trying to fit radiators etc.

The 911 is Air cooled and should just "fit in" with some gentle tickling.

[Benjoyce]

that sounds more like it coz it fit straight in he said.

[Wiggie]

oh, porches aint my subject realy! i prefer to put my mind to things i can actuly achieve,...actuly i dont think i would really want a porche.
