Back in 1973, my 1st car was a 1954 Morris Minor 850. The engine was totally buggered, so before I could drive my 1st car at 18 y/o, I had to completely strip it and re-build it !! :) Including cylinder honing, valve guides, hand-grinding in (lapping) the valve faces, bearings, re-working the head & face. None of this "just change the engine" crap back then. 8) Since then, I was always an Aussie 'Holden' guy. The last pic is of my 'Champagne' coloured Holden 'Calais'. The 'Calais' was the top of the line, electric 'everything' & Walnut Dash!! :) My brother was a 'Ford' man, and was always getting me to drop him off & pick him up from the Ford dealerships for repairs. He always jokingly said for me to not let them see MY car, however, it was always MINE that took him to these places!!!.... |

It depends if it was mine-mine or mine-shared but the first ones were a Citroën 2CV and a 97 Fiat Duna. Now I'm in a Chery Face and rebuilding a 1981 Peugeot 504 as a pastime. |

My very first car was a restored VW Beetle (1200). Fun stuff. |

As a 17 year old, to have my first car I am very thankful for, as there are a good number of people years beyond me who do not have theirs yet. My first and only car is a 1993 Buick Regal Custom 4 door with a 231cu V6. It's been in my family since my great grandfather bought it, and it's been passed down to my great grandmother, my grandfather, and now me. It's in excellent condition and it's made many a trip to see family across state borders, and will make many more. It's got power windows, power locks with FOB, enough gauges to fly the shuttle, and it even has something insane for 1993, on-steering wheel media control buttons. I'd give a picture, but there's like 50 different styles and minor differences between the different options and minor revisions, and my actual car is outside in the cold and I'm inside in the warm. |
