What was your first car?

[Blinky]

Renault 4L , 700cc 4 cylinder engine and about 30 hp.

That would be a fun car to run around in doing bids.

This one is even more fun.
Citroen Mehari. I've had four of those over the years.

Looks like a VW Thing.

 

[stig]

No, this one is made of plastic!
The whole thing only weighs about 800 pds. I got stuck atop a stump once, and 4 loggers was all it took to lift it off.
2 cylinders, aircooled, 602 cc engine. Get's about 50 mpg.

This was my Dad's car which he gave to me to goto college in...

1.4 petrol engine, slow as hell but bombproof.

Then i bought one of these classics which was my first car i suppose as it had my name on the slip

It is almost as safe as a motorcycle.








When they registered it in the US ( about 200 units, I think) in 1970, it had to be registestered as a truck, since truck-safety rules were more lenient.
Same here, in fact.

I climb trees for a living, you want me to worry about my car being unsafe?

 

[Paul B]
