I drove my Mum's F Reg Ming Blue Peugeot 309 GRD SPECIAL EQUIPMENT (that's important), which we'd had from new around for the first few years after passing my test. It eventually got binned because the gearbox gave up. I then went to Uni. Came home in the first year and bought a D Reg Beige 1.3 GL for £100. It was an absolute shed! It was matt beige when I first bought it and the starter motor was knackered, but with a little help from Leon, we shined it up with t-cut and stuck a starter from the scrappy on it. Don't have a photo of it, but I found a shining example on google. Beautiful colour, huh?   The brake calipers were constantly binding, so the brakes boiled after about 30 mins of driving it, but I never went further than the 20 min journey to work, so it didn't really matter. They used to smoke at the traffic lights though  The cost of new callipers was well over the cost of the vehicle, so I never bothered changing them.Despite all this, I REALLY liked driving this car. Much more so than my brother's 309 DTurbo. Unfortunately, the car didn't do too well over the winter, and ended up like this.    So my parents binned it  I still miss it now.

I'm looking at cars now, i'll probably end up getting one next year i'll class thats one as my first car, because my current one i've just commandeered off my mum who just never drives anymore, i pay for everything done on it tax MOT insurance and the rest, i just never paid for it to begin with. Does that count?

My mundano with its bumpers. It's got a 10 year old clutch which isn't breaking the traditional clutch slipping way, the release springs have started to furr up since it's done so many miles and stuck around so long.
That considered its still a brilliant car.

A Mk3 Escort 1.6. Rotten as a pear but it sounded cool. Especially with my sub in the glovebox  (think I described that at the BBQ)

 I still own my first car (for another week anyway), a 1.3l Ford Ka. A bit of a girly car admittedly, but it's dirt cheap to run and insure, when the engine isn't breaking or I'm not spinning off motorways at 95MPH thanks to some black ice. |

My first car was a clapped out Renault 11 - wasn't up to much but it got me from one place to the other.
