Mine was a Fiesta 1.1 and loved it, sold it to a girl who wrote it off two days later tanking down a country lane! Had it for a year though and sold it to her for £200 more than I bought it for!

Blue Ford Ka Collection. It was brand new as an 18th Birthday Present. I really loved it and it was so nice to drive. But it has been falling to peices recently - no radio, 1 speaker doesn't work, rear view mirror fell off, AC stopped working and so did the heated back window all in 11 days!

A 1969 red mark one Ford Escort. I traded it in for a white mark one Ford Escort XL. I thought it was the bee's knees. I then drove it to Bristol on the first night I had it and it broke down on the way home. The AA guy peeped down the spark plug hole and said that the pistons had melted. He towed me off the motorway and a friend's dad towed me home. The next day I took it to the Ford dealer in Chippenham and all they had to do was replace the radiator and thermostat. I drove it for a further 60 or 70 thousand miles!

It was a 1957 Plymouth that looked a lot like the car in the movie "Christine". It was a ddep bronze color. It had beautiful bronze and white interior with black carpet and a radio with two big speakers. It was very clean inside and out. I drove it several months with no trouble and then one night, BANG the engine pushed one of the pistons right out through the side of the engine block. It still ran! I drove it home making all sorts of squeaking and clanking noises and parked in the driveway. It woke the neighbors up!
The next day I talked to a friend who had rented a small house next to a motel. He said l could park it there and he would try to find another engine for it. As luck would have it the owner came over one day and asked the other guy who lived there about the car. He hadn't heard the car was mine because the guys worked opposite shifts. The motel owner had it hauled to the junk yard and they burned it out the very next day. I was just a young kid back then and didn't know much about rights or the law. I was mad of course and talked to the motel owner, told me he thought it was abandoned. The junkyard guy just gave me a bunch of nonsense and I left frustrated. If I had called the cops they would both have been in trouble but back then I didn't think of such things. They should not have burned the car without finding out who it belonged to! It still had the license plates on it so they could have called the police but they didn't want to know. Basically it was auto theft but back then the car was only worth about $100. That was in 1965.
My first car was 25yrs old when I got it, it was a very basic Austin 7 1937, Racing green with black mudguards, proper paint not like todays cars. No heater, no radio and semaphore arms for signalling, fill it up for £1, got it up to 60 once - frit the life out of me. Gave it to a friend, kids wrecked it and it went for scrap. The king-pin came out in London and the front wheel fell off. Good question brought back memories of too long ago. ..Thanks
First car. Wow! Haven't thought of that in years. Kind of sore spot with me. But, here goes. Imagine, 12 years old, saved paper route money to purchase an abandoned 1950 Ford Custom Deluxe. You know, fender skirts and a winshield visor. A real looker, right? To me it was. Only problem, I was boy with a car that didn't run and I didn't have tools or knowledge of cars--- just love. So, after three years of sweat and money, she ran. Exciting right? Until I came home from school one day to find out that my mother had donated MY car to the High School auto shop class to be later dismanteled and scrapped for the sake of education. You can tell I'm not bitter, can't you. Forty years later and still mad about it.
