What was your first car

[bodgit]

As the topic was on TG last night it reminded me of my very first car. Back in 1978 it was.....
A Red Vauxhall Victor 2000 SL (like the one on Randle and Hopkirk). My mum insured it for me in her name for me to "drive to the shops" . I really loved that car for all of 6 months and 2 gearboxes before I wrote it off. Hit a hedge, tree, wall and killed 6 garden gnomes the bloke from the house went nuts saying He had 2 kids asleep in the house, didnt help my pissed up mate saying
"your lucky they,re not playing in the garden"....cue the police
3 points £50

Mine was a 1989 white 1.4 Vauxhall Cavalier I bought from my dad for £1(!)
I used it as a part ex for the Astra - it got me £1 discount and a CD player

Vauxhall Chevette 4 door, VFY 35V. Went to the scrappies after it rusted itself to pieces infront of my very eyes. Loved it though.
