Your first brand new car

Sifting through some old photos, found a pic of my first brand new car, when I was 27, paid £18k for it. BMW's were still made well in those days,I thought I had arrived when I got that car

For a microsecond there i thought you'd managed to place your attachment skewed.LOL pretty clever if you had.

 

1978 when in the RAF at Laarbruch in Germany bought a brand new capri 1600L in metallic gold, thought it was the dogs.

 

Now this is sad but my first new car was a vectra, ****e I know but I loved the fact that it was new...

worst new car I had was a 330 sport bimmer - the dealer experiance was shocking, pretty much amounted to heres the keys - the cars outside and its raining...

best new car experiance - Audi - really make you feel special when you collect it

Most cheezy nrew car experiance - ford, XR2 for the ex-wife, salesman appears with a huge bunch of flowers - felt like a nob

 

piccies please guys, especially of the Capri.

Betcha got one of your missus with the flowers and the XR2 Bronco

 

E36 M3 , i loved that car . use to spend hours infront of the dealership window on week-ends , and i am not exaggerating

 

Mate, the N plate was 97, you were not 27 then

My first 'Brand New' was a RJ Reynolds Tobacco company orion 1.4LX, just on the new shape about on a J plate.

The first brand new car we owned was a K plate fiesta Azura, the first 'proper' brand new car being a N plate Golf GTi in Mystique blue ...:dudeI actually was 27 then :smug

 

Bloody didnt! The only flower she shoud have are above her and seperated by 6 feet of earth

 

M reg94-95
N reg 95-96
P reg 96-97
R reg 97-98

My first new car was a Toyota supra 93

 

'94 993 c2

 

Sorry Mate long gone.
Tony you have just got to spoil it !!!!!!!

 

Toyota Celica - F Reg
Nissan 200SX - J Reg
both company cars.

Other than the wifes Focus the only cars I have ever bought are the 308 and the infamous Rover 416GSi - both of which are still in my possession.

 

I have not had the pleasure of owing a new car yet. I could, but nothing new interests me. Well, nothing in my price range. Would love a new 430 or 599. But I would have to rob a bank for one of those............

 

never knew you were a closet Porschephile Tone.

Pics pls...

 

Check out the previous cars owned in Tony's profile....not really 'in the closet' there, eh?

 

My first brand new car (and my first car) was a 1971 TVR 2500. Paid $3500 US for it when I was going to school in Richmond, VA. I had to take out a bank loan with my father as a co-signer!
I kept the car for over 30 years and well over 275,000 miles and only sold it to buy my 328GTS.

 

i'll dig some out. polar silver/blk leather

 

.....Ok ...........yawn

 

1988 Ford Orion 1.6 Injection Ghia for me. XR3i with a boot .

 

Inserts *up yours* smiley

 

My mate had one of those, I had an RS1600i at the time, so I took the pizz relentlessly, but I secretly preffered the Orion TBH....

Congrats on the next new car on its way BTW Ken

 

Ford Orion 1600 Ghia - I forgot, I actually had one of those as a company car too. At the time I didn't think it looked too bad but I shudder when I see one now.

 

V reg Ford capri 3 liter ghia in light gold.
At the time I was looking for a 3 liter S as that was considered the dogs but could not find one in the UK.
It seemed fast at the time but that V 6 (I think it was called either a Kent or Essex engine) probably only put out about 150 bhp.
