First car

[Col.Kurtz]

My first car was a 1275cc Triumph Herald that I intended to renovate with my brother, but I got bored of trying to do the work in a garage with no power so I bought a Ford Anglia 123E 1200 Super. This was when everyone was doing up escorts and talbot sunbeams. It was good fun, except once when the clutch started to give out on the way back from Bournmouth - very embarrassing at traffic lights!

Our first car was a plum coloured vauxhall vectra bought it from a guy who worked at vauxhall in absolute mint condition until some stupid woman pulled out of a stop sign and wrote my baby off, we liked the car so much we did'nt stop looking until we found one just like it same colour same reg, we paid £2k cash for it by the time we got home it was leaking oil and the abs light was on took it to vauxhall cost us £35 to find out the full abs unit had gone and it would cost £450 for a new unit plus fitting and vat, got the part from elsewhere for £45 and fitted for nowt it used to over heat every time we went anywhere even just to town it now blown a pipe and has been sat on the drive for ages. We now have a bmw thats about 17 years old and is great (it works) it cost us £350 and we havent had a problem with it yet (touch wood).
