What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
My first car was a Citroen ZX Pzazz, 1.4 single point injection. Met its end with a rather spectacular crash which involved a fence.
My First motorbike was a Curvy N SV650 in Candy Blue. Met its end when it T-boned a Mini. I was travelling along a 30mph zone, solid traffic on the other side of the road. Mr Mini sped out of the junction on my right hand side and straight across my path. Your go! |

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
Nova 1.2i! Some guy in a truck wrote it off while it was parked outside my house. Got £100 more than I paid for it from the insurance company and someone bought the wreck for £100 too.
Yamaha DTR 125. Sold it cheap on ebay with no MOT. Guy who bought it was a welder. Good job because most of the frame was made of rust and not connected to each other.

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First bike was a CBR 125 which was p/x'd for the curvy.
First car was a Ford Fiesta 1.25 16v zetec. Met it's demise on the front end of a Peugeot 206 which pulled out from a junction without looking.

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
My first bike, a Peugeot Speedfight 50 was sold for very little after a year and some 8000km with me in the saddle to fund my next bike a TZR125. A few years later I did see it being ridden still but it didn't sound healthy. I do wonder if it is still going and if it is for sale...
My first car a Fiat Punto 1.1 finished its life with me a little bit shorter than when it started. I closed the M5/ M4 interchange late one November evening when I found some black ice. As I turned into the corner the front went light as started to rotate, had to put correction into it for when it regripped and when it did I had a tank slapper I couldn't control. The first brush against the wall wasn't to bad, I genuinely thought that T-Cut would fix it. The second impact did the damage to me and the car. The third strike brought the car to rest blocking lane 1. |

Rolled my first car ('74 1200 Beetle) in 1997.
Bought back my first big bike (the SV), it's sat neglected in the garage! |

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First bike was a Suzuki GP100, as that was more than 30 years ago, I can't remember what happened to it!
First car was a TR7, loved it to bits, even when I found out the bodywork was more filler than metal. Taught me so much about how cars work (or don't!) that I still have a soft spot for it. It went to the scrapyard eventually. They gave me £70 for it which I was well impressed with. |

Re: What happened to your first Car & Motorbike?
First bike: current SVS. Had it for almost 7 years now and with 42K miles on it. It is coming home tomorrow having just been written off for the second time thanks to a blind van driver in our school car park. I'll stick it back together this half term and it's good to go again
First car: Series 2a Landrover. Rebuilt with quite a few extras 13 years ago and still doing very well. Currently up for sale to fund the new adventure van. |
