OK, ladies and gents.
At the risk of starting a thread that has been around before (I can't find it by searching if it has)... What was your first car? When? How much? God or Dog? Favourite story - good or bad? Mine was a 1972 MkI 2dr Escort. Truly exceptional condition (to look at). My old man helped me buy it from a car yard for something like a grand in the mid 90's. I thought it was totally cool at the time - if you squinted you could pretend it was a Mexico rally car. It was white with off-centre, blue GT stripes, some nice alloys, sports exhaust. She never missed a beat until I burnt a hole in one of its pistons on a 600km summer road trip in outback WA after I had it for just on year. She was all of a sudden smoking like a bastard with 100km to go (and no roadhouses to stop at). I found out what was wrong by nearly knocking my mate's head off when I blew the dipstick into the nextdoor neighbour's yard trying to start it after I got it home. Lifting the head confirmed the bad news. Sold it. Still wish I had it.
