I had one of the worst cars of all time!
The Morris Ital 1300! Mind you it did do over 100,000 before the diff went!

1976 AMC Gremlin X with a 304 cubic inch V8 engine.

Ugly little car, but very fast. Now I drive an ugly little slow car.

My first car was a Datsun 120Y bought in 1982 for £700
I can even remember the registration JDL 652P
I loved that car. Unfortunately the floor well rotted after a couple of years so it had to go.

I had a limited edition mini Mayfair

[Dalton]

My favourite car of my own (wrong thread!) was a K Reg old style London Black Cab 484000 on the clock bus class. Took it to France and had everyone taking pictures!

The "Nasty 9', a beautiful classic, what year Faaip?

it was a 75 IIRC. My cousin bought it a couple of years old then I "borrowed" it for about 18 months in the early 80's after I hit a PO van that had pulled out on me and stopped on my CX500C.

Stunning bike and a real seat of you pants ride, acceleration from 0 was almost frightening. But what balance

Stunning bikes in their day. A couple of lads I used to ride with in the 80's had mid 70's Z900's, another a Z1B, while I was two stroking on a Yam RD400E

[Azkal]

Back on track, while 2 wheels, 4 wheels, or anything with an engine has always been one of my passions, first car mid 80's was a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, (Yellow with black vinyl roof if I am not mistaken).

Had a few triumphs in my early days, before I took ownership of a wonderful Ford Granada Ghia.

A clapped out Wolseley that use to flood in the footwell

It was like driving a tank

Gorgeous 64, looks like a 15/60 or 16/60, even those you did need to wear your wellington boots

1976 AMC Gremlin X

One of only a few hundred made with a 304 cubic inch V8 engine.

Don't know how fast it could go because the speedometer only went to 120 mph (193 kph)

[Byebyegeegee]

Ford Escort mk1 in white, yes another. I remember that the starter motor (I think) kept jamming so you had to take the hand brake off, get out of the car and rock it until you heard a click then it would start. This wasn’t too bad unless you were parked on a hill then it was a nightmare!

panda 750c "fire"

kenwood sticker in the windscreen (i didn't have a kenwood)

As soon as i passed my test i drove to a field and did some handbrake turns lol

[Sara]

I learnt to drive on a farm in my aunt's mini, so before I went on the road I could already control a vehicle and round up sheep.

My Allegro was white, with a brown interior and a circular steering wheel. The back seat had been removed so I could get my Marshall speaker cabinet in. Rear passengers had to make do with a couple of scatter cushions on the bare metal.

It was a tricksy beast. In damp weather, starting it required a twenty minute application of the hair dryer to the carburettor, so this had to be factored in to any journey time. Actually arriving at the required destination frequently called for assistance from the AA. I paid for relay, and still do out of superstition.

My second car was a 1968 VW Beetle in headache yellow, so my motoring life began with what have been voted the two crappest cars ever made.
