| What was your first car? This will really show peoples ages. What was YOUR first car, not the first car you drove, but the first car you owned. I'll start, mine was a 1990 Fiesta 1.6s with RS bodykit (wrote off in a month)

| This crops up from time to time - always good food for discussion. 1971 Ford Cortina MkII 1600 Super. Ran very well for about a year and was sold on, probably in better nick (certainly mechanically) than when bought. |

| Fiat Panda 1000CL. Ran for 3 years and 30k miles on top of the 30k it had when I bought it , and it was pretty much wrecked by that point. Still , I got £300 trade in for it so I was pleased at the time.

mine was a 1988 E mk2 fiesta 1.0 popular plus in a sky blue, it got spun on the a 40 at approx 60mph, not my fault, no honestly. wish i had fixed it rather than flogged it, i thought it was an omen, turned out it was a lesson that taught me never to buy a metro again!

 )Although during my parent's divorce my Dad transferred ownership of the TD ZX I had driven around a bit, so that could "technically" be my first car. Bengie? You say you span a fiesta, which taught you never to buy a metro again?  I like the lesson a lot, but just a little confused by the methodology.

| A Black F plate VW Polo 1.05l (1049cc) It failed it's MOT every time, the drivers seat collapsed once (the metal supports failed) Ihad to jerry rig fromt speakers into the door pockets as it was the only place to fit them and it used to just die out from time to time only to restart 2 mins later (once was in the Dartford tunnel at 00.20 on christmas day). But it was my first car and I looked after it. I had it for 3 years and gave it to my brother when I brought my first Fabia. He had it for a month before a lorrie pulled out in front of him and wrote it off. I was not happy, but at least my brother was not hurt.

| Fabian  | A 1978 Alfasud 5M (AKA 'Flying Biscuit Tin'). Tried to chop a tree down with it after 10 days. Lovely little thing - real seat-of-the-pants driving feel to it. Rusted away to nothing in 6 years. |
