Cool car. 
I saw a Lotus Cortina MK1 on the motorway a few weeks ago. Had never seen one before.

Honda Civic EX 98 - 1.6 16V Vtec
P.S.: I didn't like the neons and blue lights, but my girlfriend "made" me do it for an event.
Hehe, reminds me of one of my subarus

Apparently I don't have any decent photos of it.
Technically my first car, I've driven others and been insured on one of my parents cars but this is the first car I've had input in buying and had my name on the registration.
Ford F-150 5.4L, 310HP RWD
They were, bought them for around £80 i think, the police had a surprise when they tried to tell me to remove them, but upon closer inspection were stamped up with all the standards, and shined the correct colors.

My first car which whilst i technically never paid for and stole from my brother, was a 1999 1.3 Fiesta Finesse. It has been in my family family since new. Before me, my older brother had it, he then moved to Australia and left it sat on the drive. Had no intention of driving whilst doing my lessons just wanted to get my license. Then thought hey why not its sitting there.
Passed my test and insured it on a thursday. The following sunday I manged to bend my steering arm so badly it needed towing to a garage. I promise it was all my fault
2 and a half years later i wanted something with a bit more oomph and now i have my ST. Still not enough power tbh and i spend hours every week looking at cars wishing.
EDIT: can someone please remind me of the letter you have to insert in an imgur link to resize, my ST photos need it

Escort 1.6 Ghia (3 door, quite rare i believe)
Bought in 1989 after a 2 week trip to ibiza with the lads LOL, Cost me £2500 back then, i ended up sticking a xr3i spoiler and wheels LOL
The car in the back ground is my old RS Turbo. Different kettle of fish that was to the Ghia

1999 Gen 6 Toyota Celica.
It's still around, I live in Bristol but took a trip to Bournemouth and saw it out on the road, still looks to be in pretty good condition.
it was a good car but no air conditioning and black leather seats was punishing.

1992 Rover 214 SLI poverty spec. paid £250 and I loved the thing![/QUOTE]

Thought I was the DBs with the leather seats, alloy wheels, electric bits and bobs. Tbf, it was a much nicer car than most of my mates had.
Didn't last long though...
Some **** pulled out on me so I went to go around him and he put his foot down to block me. Long story short, as I was pulling alongside him I had to brake hard due to oncoming traffic and lost the back end. Took out about 20ft of hedges and fencing.
The guy didn't stop at the time but he came back a little later in a different car and had a good look (I'd moved the car off the road by this point so they wouldn't have known it was there otherwise).
Not my greatest achievement!

More Rovers! Sadly I didn't crash this one...

1999 306 HDI Dturbo. Bought in 2010, did most of my learning to drive in it, then did about 13,000 miles a year in it for three years until I decided I wanted to change to a quicker diesel and bought the 330d. To be fair to the French this 306 never missed a beat and didn't really need anything replacing other than normal consumables, but I decided I wanted new shocks and springs all round. Easily more reliable than the 330d and both had similar mileages and did/do the same commutes.
Sadly it's destined for scrap this year as it won't pass another MOT due to (believe it or not on a 306) rust. Shame really as the rest of the car, especially the engine, feel good enough to do another 100,000 miles without an issue
Almost ditto. My first car was a 306 DTurbo:
from which I upgraded to 2001 330d.
The 306 was sold to my brother who wrote it off within 6 months.
