What was your first car/decent car ?? - Page 2

My first car was an Escort Mk2 which was fantastic! My first decent car was my 306 XSI which I bought as a demonstrator after getting fed up with the unreliability of my Lancia Delta HF 1.6 turbo! I used to have to park it overnight on a hill to make sure I could bump start it in the morning, while the boot was festooned with cans of damp start! Awesome car though.

Familiar thread this... http://www.classic-audi.co.uk/forum/...d.php?p=257464

But always good nontheless

First car was a Rover 216 Efi, the boxy one.

First decent motor was my third car... Coupe Quattro at the age of 19! Was bitten by the Audi bug then and it's been with me these following 14 years!

My first car was a Morris 1100 in Trafalgar Blue, given to me my my mum.
It was low mileage and mint.
Until I attacked a bridge with the nsr corner.
Replaced with a mint low-miles Fiesta SuperSport in red, complete with 'climate pack' (opening 1/4 lights - remember them?, sunroof and tinted glass).
Replaced after a year with a mint low-miles XR3 (not the i) 4sp in Prairie Yellow.

Started out with a 1972 Marina 1.8sdl, then mk4 'tina 2.0 ghia, mk4 2.3 v6 ghia, varios bits and bobs thereafter, but I had my first fun quality car.....mk1 xr2, then 2.8i capri, a few more typical old girls and then my first Audi , a 2000 A6 2.4.
My favourite posh/decent motors would be the Audi S3 then A4 3.0 quattro.

2000 a6
1996 a3 1.8 turbo
1992 coupe 2.3e
2001 s3
2002 a4 3.0qst
2002 a4 cabby 2.4v6
1995 2.6v6 coupe

1988 b3 90
2001 a4 1.8turbo
Currently the a4 cabby and a4 1.8t on the drive aswell as the boys polo and 5 pot coupe
Lots of Audis and I don't really want anything else apart from Audis

1st car was a 1991 'H' reg Nissan Micra 1.0 in Oxford Blue.

My most decent car though has to be my '93 K reg Honda Civic Lsi 1.5 I adored that car until I wrote it off in 2006 after an argument with a skip wagon. Tempted to get another

First car was a BMW 318iS. The little E30 really went well. Infact my mate had a 325i and there wasn't much in it although the six cylinder felt a lot better low down.

First legal car was a D-reg Fiat Panda, well it became my first legal one after about 6 months of driving it and I decided to take my car test.

Most people who know me would say I'm still waiting for my first decent car

Though the brand new Mk4 Astra I had as my old company car wasn't bad, shame about the Mondeo they replaced it with.
