First cars!

[HOT-ROD]

Was just wondering what everyone was running for their first motor and if they had any pics?
Mine was a MK1 XR2 lookalike with a mind blowing 1L engine! This car got drove flat out for 6 months until a garage I was working at got a Nova SR (GTE lookalike) in for part ex. Never looked back!

A 1977 4 door saloon Vauxhall Shove-it in sky blue, and yes i did have to shove it on quite a few occassions. Indicator and wiper arms are the other way round so when i got my next car i used to clean my windscreen when flashing and when it rained would indicate right. Loved it though

Mine was a F reg red nova SR. Loved it but wrote it off after about 4-5 weeks down some country lanes. Then I bought a G reg 1.4 SR.

I will always love vauxhall novas & always tell the gf I'm gonna get another with roll cage, buckets etc one day. Needless to say she then has a moan at me saying things like "Havnt you grown out of stuff like that now!"

[HOT-ROD]

Sounds like we got a canny mix of motors and noticed most of them Vauxhalls too!

steve I would love to get my hands on a clean MK2 Escort now but wouldnt want to re-morgage my house for it!

bluejuz you never too old for a Nova man I'm in my mid 30's still have one and have no plans of ever getting rid of it!

[bluejuz]

I used to be a png member & I think I recognise yours from the mags from back then.

The flush tailgate, colour & kit look very familiar.

And the other mad thing is our callys do look very similar as well!
