what was your first car ?

I thought it would be interesting to find out what we all had as our first car - how many of us started out with VW ? Mine was a 1979 Toyota Corolla Coupe...nothing more to add other than it was red with a white racing stripe down the side !!:P

1972 aqua blue super bug 15 millionth edition was full of rust. For some reason I still have most of it in the garage exept the body and floor pan

Still searching for a beetle or 2 at the moment.

Only cars that are cute colours. Baby Blue is not a good colour for a guy at 17 to be seen in when everyone else has panel vans and chargers. since then I have had only red, white and dark green cars ( I have 2 dark green ones at the moment).

at least the hunter didn't have the Glitter painter Roacket on the side of it like my second car. The dreaded Cortina.

I almost got a 60 bug for my first car but it was sold before I could raise the money. So I ended up with a Datsun 1600. What a bloody rust bucket but it went. Took me another 8 years and a 20 cars before I actually owned a VW

'54 oval on IRS that my old man put together. Had it since I was 18 - nearly 12 years ago. Its been off the road for a few years but I've just stripped it for a rebuild....
