First car you were ever in

Mr. Presentable

Inspired by the car from the year you were born thread, what was the first car you were ever in?

I don't remember it, but it was my Granda's FIAT.

Opel Rekord P1

I remember not being impressed when it was sold and a Renault 4 took its place ...kindergarden bragging rights went down the tube

'What make of car were you conceived in?'

The auld lad had an Opel kadett when I was born so that would be the first car I was in.

That's a really nice car. Are there any on the classics scene here?

We didn't have a car for a long time when I was small but I remember my Mum's friend coming to visit us with her brand new white opel kadett. She brought us out for a spin. It still had that new car smell and i remember vomiting all over the back seats

Same colour n all! Cept the oul fella had a set of aftermarket Hella spots on the front of his....:cool:

Big Nasty

Can't remember for sure but I would put money on it being a Granada coz that's all my Dad drove.

An Hillman Avenger estate was mine so I've been told. I'm not old though, just thought it pertinent that I mention that

Muckie

Ford Corsair.(which caught fire while my Ma and i were
in it.)so it always stayed in my memory.

One of these, my uncle owned it. But without the roll cage and beefy engine in this particular one.

Dunno ..but according to my mother (who's car it was) it was very unreliable, undriveable in winter and by the time it was sold there was more holes and filler on it than sound metal

My old man had one of these:



It had things that other similar cars didn't have at the time such as front seat belts, a cigarette lighter and a rear window defroster.

I was brought home from the hospital in

My dad's car. Austin-Healy Sprite Mk II. I was an infant in a moses basket behind the front seats. Safety? What Safety

I can't remember the car, I ever first was in.

I can remember from my childhood, that my dad has a Volvo 142, then a 242.

The first car I was using on a field was a Beetle 1200

and the first car I drove on a public road was a Ford Sierra 2.0iS with chiptuning. 155 whopping bhp. This is back in '91, when i was 16, so it was quite a car to handle for me.

Absurdum

a brown Renault 4 :P

An orange 1981 Opel Kadett 1.3S...my dad still goes on about that car

EDIT - Pic

Great thread BTW OP!

Anyone in to older cars will usually be influenced by a couple of things, i.e.: what they saw on TV as a kid or what their Dad used to drive!

testarossa40

One of these. And the aul lad went and bought another 3 yrs later in beige!


Ah, so many "fond" memories of scalded skin from sitting on baking vinyl seats during those summers before Global warming :rolleyes:

Here I am...
Just out of what I think was an Austin A40...

1989 Opel Kadett in that very same colour and those very same wheels.

Have many photos of that car, great memories, I wish I could go back in time to them to relive it all again....

Mr Benevolent

Fairly certain it was one of these, I was born in 1979. My uncle had one later on, and on holiday in Cork the feckin' thing couldn't climb the last steep hill before the house we were staying in!

My grandads Ford Prefect. I was about 5 or 6 at the time and we went everywhere together. I also remember having the occasional spin with my cousin in his massive pale blue Mk10 Jag!

Funnily enough, I was driven to school in one on my very first day (a white one). Have a photo of it as well somewhere.
