Just wondering what the first car folks were ever in................ what you came home from hospital in! I'm not actually 100% and no one can remember as my da changed cars about that time! Think it was a 1979 Datsun Sunny estate, although possibly a 76 Mk2 Escort Pop. I made sure and brought my wee lad home in the Scirocco and got a pic of him in it..................... yes I am that sad

Crackin' topic Jim. The first 2 cars I can remember in our family were complete polar opposites. The first car was a royal blue Morris Marina Estate, I remember my auld fella hating everything about it. So he promptly replaced it with........ An Ascona 400 No joke!!! On Weber's too, ooohh that sound, mmmmm.He had it for about 18 months until his apprentice went to get something for him one day and parked it at the bottom of Kilkeel harbour, spotlamps first. Obviously it was wrote off and the racing circuit that was the roads in Kilkeel harbour had claimed another victim, BTW the apprentice wasn't hurt........ Until my da got a hold of him

My dad had a S2 Daimler Soverign, Hillman Avenger Tiger and a Vanden Plas 1500 when I was born so one of those would be the first car I was in (hoping it was the Tiger, but a three are pretty cool motors!) |
