Would you have your first car back?

[bridgdav]

No..NO..NO..NO..NO

I had an Austen 1100 back in 1984.

It met a rather nasty end when hit in the side by an old Wolesley. It was on a banger track at the time - but still my first car.

[bumpkin]

austin allegro (all agro), with square steering wheel no thanks don't want it back at all, the bottom fell out of the fuel tank, wish i'd kept the dolly sprint though.

[Superflid]

One of these....


but in a lovley BROWN.

No thanks.

[bikerkeith]

Mk 1 850 Mini with spongy brakes, no synchro on the gears, fug-stirrer heater, so noisy when flat out (at 70) that my hearing has never been the same since. I'm just glad that vehicle design and engineering has progressed so no thanks.

I'm just getting my first car today

[interloper]

If I had space and could have my first car back pre accident (It ended up getting intermate (sp?)with a Renault Espace), then yes I would. It was a drum braked 1000 cc mini and it represents most things I still enjoy about motoring ie hamering round the local B roads an getting my hands dirty !

[pdV6]

Hell yes.

1977 Datsun 160J SSS Coupe (think Japanese Capri )

Great RWD fun!

J reg Micra - loyal and didn't mind being treated like st but no thanks!!!

[Nick Elliott]

Yes although not for the car Austin 1300, but for the number plate DJU1K as it was worth more than the car.

[alans]

Mk 1 Lotus Cortina, GAL 786D. Yes I would have it back.

The first car I ever bought?...that would be the Griff 500. Would I have it back? - maybe for the noise, but the Tuscan made it feel...slow.

[mondeoman]

A PUKE green 1300 Mk3 Cortina?? I think not!

[ninjaboy]

My first car was a Hyundai coupe 1995 model in white with a cool black stripe down each side (top gear Lada style)so much fun on twistys,sold it due to difficulty getting parts for it.

[Raify]

Hell yeah!

Mk1 Golf Gti 1.6, beautiful, until I blew up the engine

[wanty1974]

Oh yes... always reqretted letting it go. A 1982 Honda Civic Sport, 25,000 very geniune miles when bought in 1992.

Crikey, it's about time you got your arse in it. Bet your over the moon.

Anyway, Mk3 Escort 1.1 (wasn't even a popular), canny car but no thanks.

[meeja]

Hmmmm.... never actually owned my own car until three years ago.... was lucky enough to have company vehicles from the age of 19!!!

First vehicle was a "B" reg Diesel Bedford Astravan... Heap of junk!

First car was an "E" reg Vauxhall Nova 1.2L.... I had the car from brand new (it had 17 miles on the clock when I picked it up) It was reliable as hell... broke down once when the coolant expansion tank split and the car overheated.

It had 117,000 miles on the clock (and was only three years old) when it was replaced.... I would have that car back tomorrow! (The management needs a cheap to insure runaround.....)
