steveo Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I had one of these when I was 13. It was lethal. If you turned too sharply, it fell over on to its side.When I came back from a holiday, my dad had sawn it in half and given it to the junk man Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/108199-my-first-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCat Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 When I was a kid, my best mate's dad was a junk man's son.

Loz Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 1968 Toyota Corolla. Of course, it was over 15 years old when I got it. And it was red... or at least it was after I painted it.

malumbu Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Salsaboy Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Oh bloody hell - I had a Morris Marina as a first> car when I was 18. *Hangs head in shame*Totally underated car. Very simple if sligtly agriculutral. If it could have broken the Cortina's monopoly on the company car who knows how successful it could have been.So it is 1987. My mate has an 1800 green metalic coupe. Some one pulls out of a side road into him. Mate says insurance details please. Scally says 'no insurance wack' (It was genuinely Liverpool). Mate says either we call the police or you pay me the value of the car (maybe ?500 on a good day). Scally says OK I'll pay. ?1000? No ?950. Deal. And mate gets the cash a few days later, expecting a cosh over the head not cash in his hand.Malumbu gets the car for ?50. A few trips to the scrap yard, some paint from Halfords and bobs your uncle.Sadly three years later another mate ploughs it into the back of a pile up on the M1. 8 other cars drive away, one dead Marina.Fine car.

BrandNewGuy Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 1985 Volvo 360 hatchback. Piece of crap that my father gifted me when he bought himself a proper car. It did have a sunroof, though ? until a troop of monkeys at West Midlands Safari Park painstakingly stripped it and the windscreen of all of its rubber seals.

Pickle Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Mine was a 1976 Toyota Starlet, in a fetching shade of orange. I loved it, got it just as I was leaving secondary school and starting uni (lived in NZ, a car was necessary).
