    Watching Minder, the cars in his lot reminded me of a few of the old bangers I've owned. So, what was your first, here's mine (not actual model nor was it brand new when I got it!):

    Make: Ford
    Car: Escort
    Model : Mark II
    Year: 1976-1977 (R Reg)
    Colour: Beige

    Hmmm, I appear to be a fair bit older than everyone else on here. 2.2L is way too much for a youngster, I think anyone under 30 should be restricted to 1L.

    Not a bad motor for it's age, i've always liked the older cars to be honest, they have more character.

    I still have my first motor. It is a 99 Fiesta. She is green. She is shiny and she is lovely and she has appeared in a movie.....from quite far off if you squint.

    I have bought new cars, but they are ****e in comparison and I only use the other one I have now if I have to take anyone anywhere.

    mine has nicer alloys, but trust me, this is the best car ever made.

    ****in' hell Dev, is that what i think it is??, it's a bloody Datsun Sunny or Cherry.
    I must admit, it's in bloody good condition, it's obviously never been anywhere in the world where moisture might lurk, otherwise it would have looked like this. <ok>

    I got a '95 1.1 litre Fiat Punto for 500 quid about a year ago. The engine was ****, and it had to have a new exhaust, fuel pump (petrol was leaking into the car under the back seat <yikes>), new tyres and brakes, and a new water pump and thermostat. Despite all of this, I loved my little Punto. However, just over a week ago I crashed it into a ****ing huge Skoda, not a mark on the Skoda, but my Punto's dead.
