vauxhall viva sl 3door coup

i liked those,especially droopsnoot

Austin Metro, it was a legend!!!

Snap, MUH559X, I drove it to York in the early 90's to watch the City, and the head gasket blew on the way home.....ok I hadn't put oil in it for months....had Nick from WTBF and Lakey in it....cost us 80 quid for a taxi from Newark to Cardiff.....left the car in a pub car park...

Renault 5. Thought I looked dead cool driving down Collingdon Road to work every morning Late 70s early 80s. Especially on a Thursday (pay day), picking up my copies of Shoot, Goal, the NME, and Melody Maker on the way. Happy days Still drive a nine year old Megane (02 reg). Safe as houses

I had a Cortina Mark 2, which i used on the estate til my mam made me do the test. crashed in Cathays the week after i passed into a big VW and the whole front end disentegrated. It was just held together with polyfiller, there was white powder all over the road and not a scratch on the VW. Happy Days

Morris Minor in 1969,13 years old.Wonderful car.

42 years later and I still have one,ain't I a lucky boy.It passed its MOT last week and nothing wrong with it

Vauxhall Nova, Only let me down when I had a head on crash in a lane, and to my horror the front was crumpled to the engine. The Skoda I hit however only had a crack in the number plate Needless to say I didn't claim on the Insurance as I didn't want to lose my 0-No claims Had it fixed and 2 weeks later some kent nicked it

Mk 1 Escort thought i was really big buying my first Car but it was a rust bucket. With my Brother in law we had to weld it up patching the floor up with drinking chocolate tins then sprayed it and sold it for £300 Then i had a MK 2 Cortina 1600 GT , then a MK3 Cortina (Wrote that off), Renalt 10 bought it off my Brother in law for £15 it had 2 months tax 2 months MOT and half a tank of petrol The suspension was gone and the brakes didnt work but it was a class Car I then had 2 Capri's (Loved them cars) .

morris marina 1800 twin cam coupe it was super fast it leaked so bad you needed wellies i bought it off a m8 who said the boots locked so i could'nt get to the spare etc then after about 2 months up at old trafford the yr we [leeds] got relegated 81 it popped open on its own to reveal a rotten smelling old bail of hay..with out any spare tyre happy days indeed..reg no KEU42J....

Rover Metro 1.1 insurance was £700 a year if I remember correctly. Arguably one of the more reliable cars i've owned, in that it didnt attempt to kill me.

A 51 plate polo like this.

1 litre and in light blue! bloody good car, only 2 visits to the garage in 5 years (not including m.o.t's)

I had a gold Nissan Bluebird. It was a great wee car, never let me down in 6 years. Paid £350 for it. F59 DNS I think it was!

*not my car in photo.

C655 DPP
Ford Fiesta Mk2 Popular Plus
1 litre engine.

Passed my test in 1999 and went straight into this. We did a straight swap, my mothers old C reg Sierra (1.6) with a fucked engine and rusty bodywork for this baby with a brand new MOT.

I put about 40,000 miles on it in a year and it still run like a dream. I upgraded about 18 months later to the newer Fiesta Mk3 - which ironically died within 15 months. The guy I sold the Mk2 to, kept it running until about 2006 when the body just started collapsing around the engine.

1966 C reg Mini 1100. Paid £50 in 1980. Max speed of 90 mph on clock but my mate told me it would go much faster!!!! Brilliant car went through driveshafts (cv joints?) on a regular basis. Until I wrote it off of course.

I totally rote my MK3 off. Was pissed right up (i know not big not clever) and driving along a windey road and my mate said i will show you sometime how to drive along here at 70 MPH. Well that was a red rag to a Bull for me so i put my toe right down. Got to a bend with a real dip in it and i literally took off i turned the steering wheel but it was useless with the tyres off the ground As i landed just starting to turn but hit the kerb which pushed my steering rack back by about half a foot then hit a Farmers wall. I had goodmans speakers on the back shelf and one of them flew into the front seat , but it was still playing on one speaker and the song was you spin me round by dead or alive. And the lyrics as we came to a halt was "Open up your eyes and watch out here we come" My mate and myself just looked at each other and pissed ourselves laughing at those lyrics and the fact we was still alive . I told my old Man a car came at us on the wrong side of the road and forced us off and i was only going around 30. He had his Mechanic mate check the car out and he estimated about 75 MPH on impact. My old Man glared at me and i said it could of been 40

Green Ford Cortina with a hole in the wing and moss growing out of it reg plate BBO 494L.

I bought it at 16 and used to drive it up and down the drive when my dad was home and around the block when he wasn't .

I put a new wing on and sprayed with tins from Halfords, passed my test at and 2 months, and drove it everywhere.

It was a pile of crap but I loved that Car !!!

I had a Ford Clitoris, every c-nt had one.

I thought you was gonna say a handed started car gwyn.

Mine was a vauxall nova

I had a 1 litre Mk2 VW Polo.

It'd done 70k miles when i had it. I kept it for two years and she never missed a beat.

Bloody brilliant car.

A ten year old Ford Corsair 2000E,purchased in 1978 for the princely sum of £130....It had a walnut dash,huge steering wheel,big leather front bench seat(seated 3 of us)and thick carpets......A fantastic machine.The steel was so thick it was almost bullet proof......those were the days!!

F78 DNS it was - f**k me, it had electric mirrors AND windows!

Mine was a Morris Minor 850cc With a split wind screen (it came in two parts) the indicaters were little yellow arms that popped out either side of the doors neer the roof. In the back of my memory box I can still smell the leather seats. Although you had to hold it in second gear some times it was still my Bently. It was a two door with the seats folding right up to the wind srceen. SO there was plenty of room in the back for an all out in any position shag on a lifetime parked on Cowbridge common, Hence along came a son 9 mounths after buying it.
