Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
Honda CG125 which my sister gave to me, once I progressed my brother had it, then my Dad. Not sure what happened to it? Being a CG its probably still going strong, although the frame will have rusted away by now.
VW Polo, which my mum gave to me, returned it after getting a mrk 2 Astra, which was replaced by my BIL's SAAB 900. Never written a car or bike off yet (touches wood)

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First car was a 1987 Nova 1.3SR. Dropped the speedo cable bolt into the gearbox which it promptly chewed up and spat through the case. Sold to it a banger racer.
My bike was a 1991 TS125R and sold it to pay for the Nova. Saw it a couple of years back but think it has been scrapped.

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First Car, a £395 '96 Corsa 1.2 with a massive dent in the side. Dad bought me a new car when I passed my test 2 months later.
First bike Yamaha Jog R which lost power as you rode it. Sold it on to someone who scrapped it I think.

First Bike YBR125, bought it new and P/X it for the SV.

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
Sounds like a snap of mine. Truck drivers half asleep trying to palm it round a corner at 30 mph while on the mobile. Glad to see they've learnt their lesson and stay off the phones these days .... ahem.

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First bike was a Honda CBF 125 which I sold to my girlfriend to fund the SV, still waiting on my first car due to stupid insurance costs!
