Re: Your first car
1972 1200cc Beetle in black. I would race anything in it. If i lost, i demanded rematch n my dad had a sierra cosworth that got borrowed. WINNER

Re: Your first car
A 1960-something VW Beetle. It was an early 6 volt version. You switched the lights on and it just got darker

My first car was a mk1 fiesta in jasmin yellow. It lasted less than a year before it sprang a massive oil leak and then the big ends went

I'd love a sorted one now, maybe a 1600 twin cam jobbie or something. I did a bathroom for a guy just before Xmas just gone who was into them big time, he was half way through building a mini with vauxhall calibre turbo running gear, with 4x4 as well
