Sitting at work looking for my next car to buy and all I can see is my first car... A mk5 1.25 fiesta zetec.

Loved that car taught me so much and wish to this day that I hadn't sold it.

So as there are a few (cough) older phers on here who had what as their first cars ?

M reg 1974 red mini 998cc. Followed by a P reg black 1098. Then a two tone grey 1.6 Cortina aged 20. It didn't get good until I first bought an XR3i, if that counts as good, at the age of 24.

H plate Mk3 1.0 fiesta, with 22k miles on the clock when i picked it up in September 2000,

thought it was awesome at the time and taught me a fair bit, sadly in the Fiesta Vs Mondeo stakes neither came out of that little incident very well.

1992 Honda civic. Still have it for a bit of summer fun. Makes my type R seem so tame and detached.

...Mark II Ford Fiesta, Laser Green, LX 1.1 'G' reg, with tweed interior. Princely sum of £350 in 1999.

The burds loved it ( wink ) for the five weeks I had it before losing an argument against a Transit van.

The first car I owned was a 1985 Porsche 944. It was a shed, but what a glorious shed!

That was only five years ago, mind. I drove lots and lots of other people’s cars in the years before that.

When I first learned to drive at 17, my Stepmum used to get company cars and give them to me (she didn’t need one) … so my first car was really a Rover Metro.

My first car was an L reg 1.1 rover metro with only four forward gears and a cassette player. It also had a manual choke for starting.
