    What was your first car

    My first car was a Ford Anglia torqouise - I think they are used on the set of Heartbeat

    An old Austin Allegro on its last legs. Don't think I drove it that much actually - shared it with my ex and he was the better driver at the time (since I'd not long passed my test)

    A very red mini metro. It looked a bit like a toy car because the previous owner had painted lots of bits bright red and the aerial was so big it looked like it was a remote controlled toy car

    Still, happy memories

    My first car is possibly going to be a Clio fingers crossed that it hasn't sold. At the moment I'm driving my mum's Focus...nice car.

    Mine was a 1994 maroon rover 214 sei, it broke down about 3 weeks ago on my way to greenwich wit Taz! RAC man said it would take more to repair than the car was worth.

    Haven't decided what to get next!

    A racing green Renault 4 with strange gear stick on the dash board and a benchseat at the front.

    Great little runner.

    A Triumph Herald, one of the ones with the white rubber bumpers and the bonnet that lifted open from the back. It was a fab car, fell to bits eventually though

    Triumph 2000 estate, with leather interior, and walnut veneer dashboard.Colour was Gunmetal, a sort of air force Blue. Reg No was SRO 559E. Was 13 years old when I got it for nothing, guy that gave me it thought the clutch had gone, but it was just the slave cylinder, which was fixed cheaply. Was a big solid car, not like the tin boxes they make now

    I'd have called that a heap of sh*t!

    My first was a Fiat 128 Estate. Absolutely full of rust, but at the time, they were renowned for having superb long lasting engines...assuming the mounts could support them!

    Re: What was your first car

    I had a beige 1982 Ford Fiesta (bought in 1992!) with red and white stripes (!!) down the sides and the word FIESTA in red across the back window! Tasteful eh? But, I hasten to add, not my choice - that's how it was when I bought it, nice and cheap, at the auctions.

    A 1969 VW Beetle. Deep red with grey side-panels. I called her Cherry and loved her very much. She built up my biceps too, whenever I had to put her into 3rd gear! Winters V.cold, Summers V.hot. When we sold her the buyer drove her down the road and i heared a big bang

    I had a red Ford Escort Estate called Eddie, I can't remember the full reg number, but the last 3 letters were MGJ, I remember that because my dad said it stood for "My God, Junk!"

    I remember one night (officer!) giving a few friends a lift home, I had 2 in the front passenger seat, 5 in the back seat and 3 in the boot! My friend Claire was the one who was always made to sit in the boot, I feel really bad about that now!

    Re: What was your first car

    An 8-year old white'n'rust Citroen Visa which had had 7 previous owners. The number plate - TAM ---Y - was worth well in excess of the car. I had it for two years then put it in for PX - the salesman insisted on test driving it and came back white - but I was fond of it and felt guilty about leaving it for scrap
