My First car 1963 Chevy Corvair Monza. , I paid $125.00 for it in 1980 , it was in pretty bad shape, but my friend & I fixed it up and I drove it for almost 6 months, before it died again and I sold it to a collector for $150. and he towed it away.

Between then and now I have owned 23 cars.




This is a 1963 Corvair, the car in photo is just a googled photo of a '63 corvair, my Corvair was similar and same color.

1979 Ford Mustang Cobra. 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder.
Quote - "http://www.valvoline.com/carcare/articleviewer.asp?pg=res20031101m4&cccid=5&scccid=1"
The same four, six and eight-cylinder engines were used as before, with the addition of a turbocharged 4-banger that developed 140 hp (same as the 302 V-8 version).

Many people will claim that there wasn't a Cobra in '79, but I had the door and dash emblems to prove it.
Too bad I don't have pictures. I had to buy a clutch and pressure plate for it and they were the same part number as the V8.

B reg (1984) FSO Polonez bought for 450 quid in England in 1991.

It featured a rear heated back window and 5 speed gearbox (1.5L) I had the 'Prima' version which meant it came with extras and yes, it was that color like on the image.



Don't laugh..

This is what I drive now, but mine is Cobalt Blue 1993 3201 (2.2L 6cylinder) mine is also M Sport

My first car was/is a 1992 Toyota Corolla.

Pros:
Inherited.
Was at one time nice.
Four door + trunk = reasonable equipment hauling space.
Gas mileage.
Only 98k miles smile.gif

Cons:
That thing's got an EFI!
Sounds like a damn ricer stock.
Is a damn ricer.
Hasn't been regularly driven for years.
Interior is wrecked up from years of family use.
No damn extras! In '92 there were powered windows, locks, and top windows! This one didn't even come with cruise control stock.

Current status:
Chilling outside our garage in a useless state.
- a tire, battery, and window.

But it's okay. About to pick up a '91 Camaro with T-tops smile.gif And also possible a Buick Electra. Power to the people!

My first car was a 1996 Ford Fairmont. Big hulking tank of a thing that cost me more in petrol than the repayments on the loan.

Had auto everything in it, was a decent car to drive, just cost me too much in fuel.

Big Aussie Ford! 4 Litre inline 6 cylinder engine.

On a more serious note, first car i drove was a Jaguar XJ6 Mark II, with a leather roof, 4.2l straight 6 and first time i drove it was reversing up a hill and round a corner, all at the same time. was some experience for my first time ever in a car.... it didn't go well tongue.gif

First car i was given was an old ford fiesta barely worth a mention, though all credit to it, it got me from A to B and only ever had problems when breaking hard going round a long right hand bend, seemed to starve the engine of fuel and it would cut out smile.gif
