What was your first car??? Mine is a 69 GTO that my dad and I are restoring.

A 1996 Camaro Coupe 3.8L.  A fun little car that I still use as my "driver."

1990 Nissan Micra. Ah,well I still got it.

An Audi 80GLE .... but before that I had almost full use of my dad's Mini.

cheers

I was stuck with an old 86 escort...:-)

A 1967 Impala.  It was red, but faded to orange.  The color prompted me to write "Radioactive" on the trunk, complete with symbols.  It had a big dent in one side, and no exhaust whatsoever.  The previous owner had driven it over a curb, down a six foot embankment, through a wooden fence, across a street, up another curb, and into the side of some guy's garage.  

I thought it was the most awesome car ever made...  ;D

lol, now that's what you call a real car! :-)

None at the moment (screwed AGAIN by the examinator)

If i have my license, probably the T4 Transporter or the Yaris.

What I really want is a Series 3 Land Rover, with a full off-road kit ('snorkel' pipe on the air intake, sand plates, Jerrycans on the back, spare tyre on the bonnet, roofrack with some big driving lights)

The Series 2 is best. Better than the Series 1 but far less sensible than the Series 3.

the only thing i want is that the cahssis and engine are in a decent shape... paint doens't matter as i want it to be red anyway

You'll have to paint it red if you want it that colour. As the body work ain't red and it sure as hell won't rust.  

I think i'm going for an engine rebuild...

i'll have to get rid of the original fuel pump to do that, but with the one-tank option it will run on anything bunable whitout the fuel lines clogging

My first car was 19 canteen Ford Taunus. (I can't remember the year it was built but it was falling to bits.) It was left-hand drive (wrong side) with bench seats & a column gear change. The old-fashioned 100E side-valve engine made it very underpowered cos it was quite a big heavy car, similar to the later Ford Consul. It had originally been light blue but this was difficult to make out under the coat of red rust. Very luxurious inside, a bit like the Tardis, with a valve radio that ran down the 6 volt battery if you left it switched on for more than 30 minutes.

It gave up the battle one day & the engine refused to run despite me almost rebuilding it. I never did figure it out & ended up towing it to the local scrapyard after dark & dumping it while nobody was looking. I had a lot of fun in that old car in the short time I had it.

my first truck was a 1979 ford pickup was in a nice straight conditiond untill last march when i was coming home from a party and a deer decided to run into the side of it and mess up the bed  :-/  but know i have a 1995 ranger with 165000 miles and it still runs strong

My first car was a 1992 Jeep Wrangler.
