Your First Car


Recommended Posts

A Vauhall Chevette 3dr hatchback, which my old man cristened 'the clockwork orange' - when I sold it to a 'mechanic' he apparently told a mate of mine that "you can pour oil in the top n hear it splashing outta the bottom"

It was never raced or rallied tho :whistle:

Mine was a 1987 Mini 1000, with a MG Metro 1275cc 75bhp engine, which i forgot to tell the insurance about :whistle:

That was back in 1991 when I was 17 and could get away with that sort of thing.

Was a quick car, no weight and a powerfull-ish engine made it lots of fun. Had it for 2 years then sold it to a stoner who managed to roll it a week after I sold him it.

And anyone who's ever driven a original Mini will know how difficult it is to roll one of those things.

my first car was an 84 ford ranger two seater, four banger. man what a POS, one mouth after i bought it i had to rebuild the engine (2.3). but after that rebuild she ran like a trooper, far from a speed demon but very reliable. now i was hoping that it would have been good on gas but no way. it had 85 HP yet it chuged gas just like a V-8.

    • Same, price was right for my Home, laptop, phone. Works great!
    • Brave and Firefox. I’ve been using them as my primary browsers for a while now, perfect combo
    • They want Ring 0 access. Should be a hard no. A middle ground needs to be found.
    • WFP can be a bit buggy. I switched to the new SocketFilter when 7.22.7 came out. I haven't had any issues so far.
