My First Car Page 3

Ha!

It looks like we're on to motorbikes and pics of young herk with excellent hair now, but anyway...

My first car is my present car, an absolutely shit white(-ish) '93 Nissan Sentra. There aren't many parts of the car that both a) still function properly, and b ) haven't been replaced or gone missing altogether. It's got dents and dings, 2 missing hubcaps, the driver's side door doesn't close all of the way, the passenger side window doesn't roll up, it can't get faster than about 45 mph if the air conditioning is on or more than one person is in the car, it runs really rough, occasionally just does't start, and the check engine light has been turning on and off at unpredictable intervals for at least 8 years or so, (it's been on for the past few months, except for one day when it inexplicably was off, which for some reason is always a little bit worrying.)

But I love my car. My piece of shit car. It's a bit broken and battered but doesn't seem to want to break down for good. Not yet anyway. Perhaps like me? No, that's cheesy. Anyway, his name is Kieth (named by a bcg forum member/lurker who I'm hoping will come out of hiding soon like he said he would). I'd post a picture, but that would require me having to go outside in a wind storm in the dark to take a pic. It's still before 5am here.

Excellent hair. And I really hope you had something in your pocket.

Laughing out loud

I wish I still had it :( ..................and the 28" waist :( ............and the slim bod :(.........and the no aches and pains :( ..................and the hope for the future :(..................and those brown "Crocodile Skin" winkle pickers with double buckles on the sides I'm wearing!! :(

I can remember clearly seeing them in a shop window and buying them. :)

It's actually quite a good place to have the registration plate.

I think the Powers that Be eventually decided that the sideways number plate was pointless as it couldn't be read from the car in front and that it was a safety hazard, likely to chop into a pedestrian in a collision.

Just set off on a 2 hour trip and my clutch broke so have had to be towed home. On my ******* birthday as well. Will have to get the train now.

What awful luck. :( I hope the rest of your birthday goes more smoothly.

He hasn't actually answered your question. *Snigger*

:D

My first car was a K-reg (1993) Citroen AX that I got at the start of 2003. It was just an awful looking car with it's piddly 1.1 engine. The only good thing with that car was that the seats were really comfy. I managed to rack the miles up to 137,000 over the course of six years (so, yes, I had it for my first few years on these boards) when the gear linkage started playing up and it was time to upgrade.

And here's me of the same vintage.

And you can wipe that smile off your face.

2 door Mini van with the passenger door tied to the passenger seat with rope.

All passengers had to crawl over the driver's seat to get in to the vehicle.

This one of me was taken when I was 17.

The jump suit was made by my Nan:
