Please post pictures of types of cars you have owned - past, present, favourites, least favourites........

Here is a picture of what my first car looked like (not the actual one, but close!)



It was a 1961 Morris Minor, and had a 1.1l engine!

Good Job Very fast!

I then had one of these.....



It was a 2.3 V6. It shows the times, as the insurance was only 300 pounds! It had that Cortina trouble, of a real loose rear end - actually it was a bit like driving someones bottom after a curry!

ERRRM>.Well That is an interesting problem...LOL

This is an actual pic of my housemates car.........I don't drive, but who needs to when you have housemates []
I'm not exactly sure what model it is, all I can remember is it is a Toyota Celica

I started out with 1 of these - 2.5L Ford Zodiac MkIII



Then a MkI Lotus Cortina

Hi doc

You had a mark one lotus ,nice

My mate had a standard mark one ,we put a 3.5 litre rover V8 engine in it, it was like a jet fighter on wheels.


My first car was a triumph herald vitesse.

Then a mark three 1.3 Ford cortina.

Then a 3 litre Ford Capri

Then a Escort XR3i

And for the last 13 years a Ford Fiesta RS Turbo

I love DA fords i'll look for pics

[DoctorBeaver]

I had a couple of 3.0 capris. Nice in a straight line but hell to get round corners!

However, having said that, I used to race  a Crappy! It wasn't exactly standard, though. It was a chunky little RS3100.

[DoctorBeaver]

I've also had these in my time (plus a few others)

3.8 drophead

oooh, that's not funny

[kdlynn]

no not funny at all... i was SO angry

[Karen W.]

No good day here too!

[kdlynn]

i made the forty year old, big tall strong car mechanic stutter and avoid my eyes and look scared. he tried to say there was nothing wrong with the car and i said "so this model is designed to only go seventeen miles per hour then?" and then he had the NERVE to say "did you have the car in drive, honey" and i just looked at him and he said "oh i guess so" i still keep getting mad about it... and this was hours ago!

[Karen W.]

I do understand that.. I was mad for months about my first car! Devastated.. LOL

[DoctorBeaver]

At the moment I'm driving this tatty old heap until I get some NCB back.

[Karen W.]

What Kind of car is that?

[ukmicky]

NCB , NO CLAIMS BONUS Its a reduction of the cost of your insurance policy .

 Its what you earn from your insurance company if you make no claims which they have to pay for.

My last car in the UK was one of these..



Nice car, but hugely under-powered.
