What was your 1st car ?

Mine was a blue Vauxhall Chevette as well, though not the estate version. The seating position was really low so you felt like you were going really fast even when going at about 20-30mph! Also it was a rear-wheel drive so the back skidded out whenever it was a bit wet. In that sense not ideal for a first car. Great fun though.

Me too mate.
Fuck a car, this is the way forward...
Front AND rear stunt pegs! Now we're talking!

RWD is fantastic for the oversteer. I've had two RWD sports cars and I'm now on a "sensible" FWD turbocharged saloon. The saloon is just as powerful and much more refined, but it's just missing that RWD magic.

i loved this little car, it was a very difficult car to drive as a new driver aged 17. I caused a major traffic collision and wrote off my own car, and 3 oncoming cars, trying to push it too hard round it corner, It woulddnt have it and went into a skid i didnt have the skills to correct at that time.
^^^ hahaha no, no. The hilarity of seeing a scruffy haired 17 yr old MDB outside his *morris minor, and then reading that story well deserves a thread of it's own.
*or whatever make/ model it is, you never actually told us

it was a citroen dyane. You still see them in France, but they dont appear to have stood the test of time in this country. Morris Minors have though, there's several of them still crawling around this city.
I like your hair, your first car, its story and this thread mydwuggyfuddy 
Hmm it was a fiat punto for me, written (is that how you say / spell that?) off on day 6 after passing my test. Head on collision but it was just metal no people got too hurt, though I did wreck another 2 cars. I then went on to write off another 2 fiats a cinquecento and then a seicento, I had another seicento after that but only blew its engine up. Well it went on fire as I was driving in it on the M8. Thereafter I moved onto fords and touch wood...
Oh forgot about the "young opiate fiend lady" who I run over, well she walked out in front of me and then tried to sue me. That was in another fiat - a panda that time 8)

teeny wee cars. Can't park to save myself :D

lol, sounds like your early days driving was even worse than mine. I was a total maniac/speed (as in mph) adrenalin junkie. Most of the young lads in the countryside villages i grew up in were. One lad used to do 90mph on country roads, it was terrifying watching him approach with his car barely under control. Another man in the village was another speed nut, he eventually met his death due to a car crash age 30ish. Local legend that guy. He was a "larger than life" character. He used to wheelie his motorbike over the top of oncoming cars if they were in his way and he was going too fast to do anything else. Another lad killed himself on his motorbike.
In a nearby village people used a 30mph limit strech of road to see who could get to 100 mph quickest, and several played "chicken". I was never into "chicken" but was well into racing as fast as possible when i began to become a better driver. I really liked the mini metro, its road holding felt so good and you could actually see where the fron wheels were on the road, and thus take the perfect line through corners, i have yet to find another car where you can see the front wheels whilst driving.
I miss the community of growing up in villages where you knew everyone, and knew about almost everything that was going on. We had some fun growing up there. It had its bad side too though, in terms of things you wanted to keep quiet invariably got let out. 20 years after i moved away a facebook conversation i had with a local druggie was pinned to the town clock. I couldnt give a shit as ive not been back and everyone knew about me, one of my friends told me that he ripped it down for me.

I caused a major traffic collision and wrote off my own car, and 3 oncoming cars, trying to push it too hard round it corner, It woulddnt have it and went into a skid i didnt have the skills to correct at that time. Id been lavishing care and attention on it over the weekend, full T cut job, the complete works and then wrote it off 3 days later. Id only had it about 2 months.
Its quite obvious by my clothes and hair who my musical idols were at that time: echo and the bunnymen and the jesus and mary chain. At that age you wanna dress like your heros and you can, at least i hope, succesfully get away with it, without looking absurd.
You looked like the guy from echo and the bunnymen.
30 years old and still no driving license. Got a full motorcycle license when I was 18 though (had to ride restricted to 33bhp for 2 years after that if I remember), always figured it'd only be me who got wiped out in a crash on a bike, rather than having to be responsible for others too.
I've had bikes on and off over the years, but mostly only for fun, the biggest being a CBR600 which you could break the national speed limit in first gear and get a good 150mph out of. The most fun was a grey import VFR400RR, which was small and light and very forgiving when you entered a corner a tad on the fast side.
If I could have any bike now it'd be an RC45, but you could get 2 new sports bikes for the price of one of those in good nick now. I sound like a Honda fan boy but I'm not I swear, my old man rides a Ducati 748, now that's a good looking bike, not a very comfortable ride though.
I'm pretty sure the money I spend on trains and taxis amount to less per year than the combined tax / insurance / depreciation / maintenance of a car anyway, and I can go everywhere as wasted as I want.
If I ever get a job that requires a commute from somewhere not well served by public transport, I'd probably get a sensible touring bike. If I get a family I guess I'll learn to drive. BUT NOT BEFORE!
