What was your first car?
« on: August 15, 2008, 10:38:17 pm »
Mine was a mustard coloured Datsun Sunny 100.
Would be very "Retro" in this day and age, but was hell in the 70s ;)

My first car was signed over to me by my dad and it was a mini city e. The first car I bought was a renault 19, which I broke nearly 12 months later. I think the mini is still alive to this day. The renault was not  ;)

Lada Riva AKA fiat 126 loads of rally heritage and they still rally Riva's today all my mates at the time were driving 1.3 escorts / Astras etc I fitted my little old lada box with twin webber and air filter and it would walk all over my mates cars. Great drift machine also.

Agree though MINT never goes with LADA   ;D
