First Car

Just thought it would make an interesting thread!
So what was your first car and did you have any names for it?

Mine was/is a FIAT Punto I love it, my friends call it my Fix It Again Tomorrow but no other names

My first car (first car that I actually owned and not one that I had the use of, that is) was/is a year older and still going strong.

A sh"tbox, but it's a Toyota, so it's built to last. Haven't changed it in the last 4 years since its cheap to run and I don't have anyone to impress.

Don't be sore just cos your driving a fiat

My first car was a toyota corolla van, 1.8 diesel.
I thought it was great at the time

Been sharing a lovely VW Polo with my Dad for the last couple of years. He cycles everywhere though so it's pretty much mine when I'm home.

My best friend (he's male) drives a purple and silver Micra named Pepe la Pew.

My first car is the car I'm currently driving, a green 99 punto. Contrary to popular belief, there hasn't been one problem with the engine in it since I got it almost a year ago.

I've numerous names for it but can't recall them at the mo.

i totally agree !I have never had any problems with mine!
Cheap to run! thats the main thing!!

rugbug86 · 20-03-2008 10:35pm

My first car was a 2001 blue 1.2 fiesta called Dora (as in the explorer - named by my 4 year old cousin) however Dora ceased to exist after a nasty accident and she has been replaced by a heap of crap - 1997 green 1.2 punto that only goes when you do the fred flinstone run. gets me from a to b though, but mainly via the garage!

Yeah mine costs next to nothing to run, except for the insurance which they're currently raping me for, but that should drop when I get my full licence...or at least I'd certainly hope so!

I drove the GF's micra for a month, and though it seems to be more comfortable, I wouldn't trade my lovely green punto for one.

Extraplus · 20-03-2008 10:40pm

A great little Honda Civic called Lola (cos she walked like a woman but she drove like a man).

She got robbed, I was distraught.

Cutie18Ireland · 20-03-2008 10:41pm

First car is a micra 99 in silver, bought for me by my dad for my 21st. Best pressie ever.. my bf nicknamed it "micro" and the name stuck...

Wazdakka · 20-03-2008 10:44pm

Freddy the 2.0glx Mondeo

Just got my first car 6 weeks ago. It was a hand me down when my sister and her boyfriend moved to Australia so it was dirt cheap. It's a bright green 1995 Opel Corsa, missing about 75% of the paint from the bonnet. Haven't had much trouble with it so far. A switch went so whenever I indicated my main beams came on, bit scary. Also have no screen wash so have to always make sure I have a bottle of water&screen wash in the car!!!

Still though, it's mine so I love it. I call her Esmerelda.

unreggd · 20-03-2008 10:51pm

1st and current momo
[no1 seems to remember this word!?]

Dark blue '96 Opel Astra

Was a nightmare at the start, distributor cap was gone, but my Da kept sayin I was just a crap driver

No probs since

No names for it, just curses

Max_Damage · 20-03-2008 11:10pm

I remember it!

I still use it too, but only when strapping toddlers into a car seat.

flanum · 21-03-2008 12:43am

First one i bought... a 1974 vw beetle (bought in roscommon 1997..sold about 2 yrs ago to the old volks home in ashbourne)

here it is, it was class, loved the unique sound the engine made.

i called it the pink panther!

sorry for the rude finger gesture, i was a toe-rag!

Mahatma coat · 21-03-2008 12:51am

first car was a 94 Renault 19, I ilked it, but the Laguna I had after it was far better, probably the frist proper car I loved.

First aussie car was an XD Falcon ute, now that I loved

galwayrush · 21-03-2008 12:54am

Volvo 353
At the time, it cost me £2750 , exactly the same price sites for houses were fetching where i now live, today, the sites are ( were) just under 300,000 euro and my old car is probably a recycled coke can.:rolleyes:

Volvoboy · 21-03-2008 1:21am

Fiat Punto 55 SX 1.1, 55 very important cause it had about 5 hp more than regular model!! Hated that car...

monkeyfudge · 21-03-2008 9:50pm

I don't believe in cars.

Comes in handy when crossing the road.

Invincible · 21-03-2008 9:53pm

Twas a Toyota starlet,was a little cramped for "putting the eyes standing in her head though"

therewillbe · 21-03-2008 9:57pm

sullivk · 21-03-2008 10:13pm

My first and current car is a '94 toyota starlet... She's slowly falling apart, but i still love her!

Das Kitty · 21-03-2008 10:22pm

Only started driving 2 years ago and have my full license a year in May.

My 2000 black 1.25 Fiesta Zetec is called Black Betty. She's a torquey little mofo and hasn't given me a minute's trouble. I know some day I'll have to sell her but it makes me sad thinking about it.

dh0661 · 21-03-2008 10:39pm

My first car was a Datsun ? AF2 (guess how old I am), having said that, the car was old when I bought it.
anyway I crashed it on our "maden voyage" - after that I called it a FU**ING BI**H

Mahatma coat · 21-03-2008 10:50pm

A super sexy green 00 punto. The sex-mobile it's been called by the local studs.

I love my punto! No probs or anything!

I hope it has the pull recline front seats, as opposed to the wind down recline seats.

I remember those wind down recline ones :mad:

passion killers, especially when we couldn't recline together.

Made things kinda awkward, but adventurous, if you know what I mean.

HAVE FUN & ENJOY
