What was your first car/decent car ??

Chatting to many of the older customers at work over the years always gets me thinking, and the boss has had many awesome cars.
Seeing that most of you have lived in the decent part of vehicle history that ive missed, what did you have as first / decent cars, i also do love an old picture !!

That's a tricky question... I guess my first 'decent' car might have been my Cavalier CDi I got in 2000 & loved it to bits & it was ALWAYS reliable & tidy, but from others perspective it might just have been a Cavalier I guess.

My old Audi Coupe I got in 2007-ish looked awesome IMO, but it was high mileage & was always needing something doing to it!

Possibly my SLK is the decent-est of all the cars I've had... low mileage, clean & good looking. Sad thing is I hardly ever use it lol & I ain't got an actual pic of it either!

This has to have been one of favourite cars... though it was a bit ratty!

This is my first car on the road... yeah I still have it, but it looked a little better when I got it in 1995!

Mine was 1988 Nissan Micra 1.0 that I used to drive to my driving school

Then 1984 mk2 golf 1.3 carb which was dead, 1989 Mazda 121 1.0l, 1994 Citroen Xantia, 1998 VW Passat TDI, Renault Scenic (never again!), Audi Coupe 2.3 (now owned by r5t on here), Audi A6 Avant Quattro and b2 coupe quattro which are still on my drive

First car peugeot 309 gti

at the age of 15

First and current: Audi 100 2.8 1992. After some regular care it is running like clockwork (so far!).
Second and current: Audi 200 2.1 1981. Barnfind. Got it without a petrol tank and without a fuel pump, and had been standing in a garage for 10 years because of those missing parts. Hopefully getting it on the road soon.

I started with a 1.0 Suzuki swift, I guess first decent car was my 2.5 Subaru Legacy GX.
Newest car was an '05 Civic type R, Oldest was a '92 Scirocco, fastest was a 200sx s14a.
