My first car, and still my only car is my lil' '98 Mini Cooper, Sheldon.

 

The day I got him home, parked outside my girlfriends house. Being fixed (already) as we found out he had a loose (finger tight) wheel nut on the front n/s wheel. Only found out that AFTER we had travelled down the A127 at 60oddmph to hear a train chugging like sound when we pulled up. Thankfully there was no one in distance of us on the road. Me looking a bit clueless in my work clothes at my already broken purchase

1989 VN Commodore, sold as Vauxhall VXR in the UK (I think). Only the V6, but still a real bogan-mobile!! I do miss the RWD, but the mini ******* all over it for handling.

First "car" was a Reliant Supervan - the Del Boy one. Was talked into it by my parents to get me off motorbikes. I proceeded to customise it in true 70's style by spraying it black with flames down the side! Thank God there are no known photos in existence, I couldn't bear the embarrasment! Followed by a nice sensible Renault 6 hatchback.

My first car was a black 1996 Renault Twingo Benetton: ugly as sh*t, strong as a tank.
