Your very first car

How old were you when you passed your test and got your first car? Can you remember what sort it was?

Re: Your very first car

Passed third time, had a little Honda N600 they were quite rare then and I haven't seen one for many years. I was 19.

He was bright canary yellow and I called him Mr Dinks.

Automatic column shift.

Re: Your very first car

A white mini van with flowers painted on the roof and doors. I loved it but the only problem was it simply would not start in damp or wet weather.

Re: Your very first car

When I passed my test OH asked what car Id like to have... I said a mini because thats where we met , in his old mini..

A few days later he came home and dropped the mini brochure on the table. He said ring the garage and let them know what colour you want..

Yep my very first car was brand new ...Since then Ive driven all sorts of old sheds but no one can take that moment away from me ..When I walked out of the showroom with the keys in my hand as the proud owner of a brand new car!

Re: Your very first car

Passed my test after in 1966 the third time around. I was an apprentice mechanic at the time but preferred motor bikes to cars. First car was a Ford Anglia. A great little car. I saw one the other week for sale all renovated at a price of Nine thousand.
