Default Pics of your first car.

Not an Audi, but I have just been sent a pic of the first car I owned. I loved this car. It was shite, but as a young lad, I loved it.

A 1984 A plate Ford Orion Ghia Injection.



Seen here with my mate's then couple of year old Helios Blue F plate Golf GTI 16v.



The Golf was rapid compared to the Orion.






A very young me reluctantly posing in front of the Golf.

Note the small hole where the door lock was. Some f****r pulled the whole thing out and nicked the stereo but left the music! Have fond memories of the 5, getting it on 2 wheels a favourite of mine....

My first car... I inherited my Grandads 1939 Austin 8 . Originally faded maroon, hand painted with Valspar paint to meet the needs of a frustrated drag racer in 1965.
Maybe that's why I still hanker after the older car.....

my 1275 GT - for a first car it felt like you were driving a rocket powered go kart!

great fun although the front screen de-mister was dreadful and misfiring from the forward mounted dizzy was a pain in damp weather . . wd40 anyone??
