xspencex Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 It was a 1977 Lightweight Landrover, I hammered it round the Desert, loved it but it broke down loads and the fuel tank leaked a lot and that was placed under the front seats... Good thing I never smoked as a youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiPartner Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 In 1997 also, I had a white 1.2 1987 Nova "Antibes". Me and my pal both had them, mine was a E plate, his a D . He had a cherry bomb on his!! Ah man, it brings back memorys thinking about that. One of them was when we were in the 6th form at school and he'd chucked a McDonalds ketchup at my car. To pay him back I took a big bottle of mustard from the school canteen (when he was in a lesson and I was on a free period) and blitzed his motor with it!! Those were the days...

Jon Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I had a 1983 MK1 Astra GTE as my first car in 1991, was spot on until i rolled it 3 times in early 1992 and ended it's life prematurely Best bit was the insurance back then, it was £234 for 8 months TPF&T. Still 4 weeks wages for an apprentice then though.... Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a 1968 HB (same age as me!!) Was a great car, bought it for £70, drive it miles with little bother then sold it for £135 six months later! Mate of mine had a HA Viva! 1964 I think. Used to thrash his to death too and it kept on going. They don't make 'em like they used to (thankfully!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
