My first car - with pics

What an awesome first car!

Wish I had thought of doing that when I was your age, still considering a fairly old car as my next. Just love how they look, so so so much nicer than modern cars.

I bet it ain't as unreliable as some think too!

Kudos to you, and I hope you enjoy it.

Are these rear wheel drive?

Tidy motor

That steering wheel is epic.

I approve!

As far as air-con goes, there's something I love about driving on a hot summers day with all the windows open. I think it reminds me of family holidays in Scotland in the back of an old FIAT Croma.

an old style 80s one I assume? not the current one

As it's your first car, you will crash it, i would prefer to be in one with airbags etc!!

Not everyone crashes and in something like that you learn a lot more than you do in a 106 with airbags etc.

Granted it isn't a safe car, but safe cars are boring.

Really? I didn't crash my first car, I didn't realise there were rules about this sort of thing.

apparently you crash within the first six months of driving, i think it's a load of rubbish, almost 5 months driving now and it's other people on the road who will cause my crash if i have one.
one women stopped on a roundabout to let a bus out or a shopping centre today.

My friend used to have an orange one of these with fluffy cow skin interior. It was awesome!

Actually, is this the same car? Looks slightly different!

That's a ford anglia.

It's about avoiding crashed too you know? Defensive driving.

I've been driving almost 6 years now without being involved in a crash.

Your car is one year older than me and I'm ace, so this car must be 1 better! Seriously though a good little car that will I suspect attract the right sort of women too. When everyone else is getting peroxide chav slappers or tattoo'd to hell facefail chicks who talk too much and are nothing like their image suggests, you'll get cooky but fit bird who is filthy as **** and likes it in the council!

Mark my words... :cool:

I've never crashed..

As long as you don't think you're a driving king, you aren't bound to crash..

Not many 18year olds with a RWD car mate. The only young chap i know of is the karate kid hehe.

It would look great with some nice classic alloy wheels

HarryOfTheWeb · 21 Apr 2010 at 22:51
