sandie Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My first car was a green Cortina, coloum change reg no 271 JWA (everyone always remembers their first car's reg) I passed my test August 1968 @ 2.30 my first accident was 2 hours later showing of. Next car was a Ford Corsaia, numb until the crossply tyres wer changed to the new radials, fitted with "Solex Wing Mirrors" then to a Riley elf, that didn't last long. Then it was a red Mini Cooper UKU 608, but after 6 months me and the M1 at Tinsley did not agree, they always said you can not turn a cooper, but if you fall asleep at the wheel no chance. Then it was the Escort great car but it did not like the cold or water. In 1972 a new Company car the Avenger, what a load of rubbish.

surfinjim Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Old M reg 1974 VW Jeans Beetle. It had been modified so that the "Jeans" interior had been ripped out, and they had stuck a massive whale tail on the back. It was in neglected red and bog standard 1300cc engine. The heating pipes had been removed so it was permanently cold. I had stripped back to metal and resprayed in Battleship grey wings with bright pink bonnet, roof, doors and tail. Add on chrome running boards and it looked awesome! The big end went after 2 months, so the engine had a complete rebuild using a campervan engine and parts off a porsche engine! It suddenly became very quick! On one trip to Rotherham, Iin the middle of winter, I had to pull over at Thorpe Hesley to scrape the ice off the windscreen ....... from the inside! Great car, happy days. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
