Still driving my first car, though it's changed a bit since I bought it.

Five and a half years I've owned my car!

First car is my current (or soon to be sold). Not a bad first car at all.

[Gareth_GT_Hatch]

Learnt to drive in a mk5 fiesta (the one before the current one)

First car was a 1990 Polo Ranger in A colour that was either royal blue or very similar.



Only had it 7 weeks (hence the crap pic) Taxi Driver crashed into the back of it and wrote it off. So then I got a mk3 polo CL in silver (which I consider to be my first car in many respects as I did nothing to the mk2 except put a cd player in it) And as far as I know this car still exists, saw it a couple of months back when I was at uni. I p/x'd it for a mk5 polo estate (they only time i briefly strayed from type 86's)

Note the roofbars and the steel sunroof, both uber rare mk3 optional extras for a CL. Also the Volvo 240 estate in the pic is the first car I drove (it used to be my dads.)

First was my Mk5 Polo 1.0E, which I ran for three years.

And it was of course, Flash red, just like my GTi

[GroovyCarrot]

Learnt to drive in my mum's mk1 shogun 2.5td and my dad's mk2 clio 1.6. First car I drove after passing my test (and car I passed my test in) was the clio. The first car I've actually owned is the polo.

My first car was a 1989 F-reg Flame Red special edition Mini, with a genuine 23,000 miles on the clock, which stayed totally standard (including the original Philips headunit and two little speakers on the rear shelf) apart from a chrome grille to replace the old black rusting one. I understand the previous owner to me had replaced the standard shocks and springs with aftermarket items, "Gabriel" was stamped on the shocks - he said they were as close to stock as possible but either way, it was a cracking little car



I had plans for clear front indicators and 12" Minilite alloys but I was at Uni for the four years when I owned the Mini, so my money was better spent on rent and beer

I sold it to a young lad from Newport (Shropshire, not Wales) and believe it is still going strong, now with a row of spotlamps across the grille, bonnet stripes and Minilites

My second and current car is the Polo

Gabriel shocks are pattern shocks sold by the tyre fitter types.

OE spec, but crap.
