DP7657 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Loved it but back then my insurance was £1500 a year and that's 14 years ago Ouch! The addition of a Grandma with (~40 years no claims) to an insurance policy makes the world of difference... Quote
Willy P Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Bertone Coupe haha. I had the 2.2i in Europa blue when I was 20. Only sold it last November. Loved that car. Beautiful lines. Quote
scottyd Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Here's mine a 2000 bmw 320ci purchased on my 20th birthday (when the insurance was low enough) did a fair few sutble mods to it. After a year and a half it was chopped in for the zed Loved the way it looked hope it went to a good home Quote
michael2516 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Bought this when i was 20 after I was paid off work, my first years insurance was £4700 Quote
AK350Z Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 I had one of these bad boys 18 years ago: Head gasket used to go once a month without failure. Stans got one now. Think I had a 1.6 Rover coupe at 20. And that was £1500 to insure TPFT! Quote

Will370z Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 My dad still owns his first car that he bought in his teens, it's a corker built in the 20's, goes like a rocket. We are currently restoring her and trying to work out a way that I can actually fit in it and drive it. Can't wait. I'll have 2 roadsters then Quote
simonzed Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 MK1 Golf GTI and still the car I enjoyed the most, bar the zed Quote

Toon Chris Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Mk1 Ford escort. Great car but a bit rusty. I remember driving home one night and hearing a scraping noise on the road, stopped and the sill had rusted through and was dragging on the road. I just ripped it off and chucked it over a hedge (in those days littering was fun and trendy, not a hanging offence). Needless to say it didn't pass the next MOT. Quote
Keyser Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 OMG the only photo I could find (but I'm gonna post it anyway) Alfa Romeo Giulietta and me in the 80's Quote
