UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

now then,thought it might be intresting to see what most folks first motor was (has this bin posted before?)anyway i had a black seat ibiza 1993 k plate with system porsche lump,,f*****g ugly but not an half bad motor actually.over to you lot

1st car hmmmmm - is that like learnt to drive in yer mums or first one you bought and paid for yerself!!!!

Former is Fiat 126 (could have done with another for the other foot)

Looked like this only red with a full length webasto sunroof (hence one for each foot)



Later was a Dutton Phaeton with a Pinto lump

Similar to this

First car was a MK3 Polo Coupe 1.0!

It was still going last year with well over 180k on it!

first car way back in 1993 was a 1986 seat malaga 1.5

i had a peugeot 106 XLD 1.5 diesel!!
was slow as hell but did stupid amounts MPG (about 60-70) and sounded like a rally car (big bore exhaust )

My first car is my current: Polo GT

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.

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.)

Same only H reg, 1L was slower than a week in the jail.

first car i had was a mk2 golf 16v, which i nevr actually got on the road.....sold it and bought a mk3 polo gt.sold that a couple of months ago and bought a g40.also have a couple of 8v golf gtis at the moment.

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

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

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.
