There's no replacement for displacement ! Posts: 2,809 Group: Members Member #78 Joined: December 29, 2006	This was my first 'proper' car... Yeah, I know it's French, but it was quick (ish), handled like it was on rails and was cheap to keep on the road. What was yours ?

My first one was a clio 16v, handled like nothing else and was the quickest car in the world.......... The one below is actually of my 2nd one; liked them that much ! infact i have another one now as my work run-around, and it feels like the slowest thing ever! Still fun to drive, but not fast by todays standards.... Those were the days......

Flat4x4xFar Posts: 2,226 Group: Members Member #141 Joined: January 21, 2007	My first decent car was a 1972 Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico that I owned for less than a year back in 1983. It was Daytona Yellow, front and rear roll cage no diagonal, schroth harnesses, cobra bucket seats, Cibie Oscar plus spot lights, Burton alloy rocker cover, 4 into 1 tubular manifold, single box skidded exhaust, K&N airfilter, battery kill switch. It was old but good fun, bit like me :lol:

Not Very Good At Darts Posts: 135 Group: Members Member #205 Joined: March 5, 2007	Assuming a 1.3 Vauxhall Viva, 1.6 Cavalier, and 1.3 Orion don't count then... It went to the car park in the sky about a year or so ago. In about 8 years of ownership it only ever let me down twice - and both times it was a clutch cable going. The engine would have gone on forever - shame the body was riddled with tin worm.
