Default My first car :D

Just bought my first car! Saw this little beasty from the bus yesterday morning, little did I know I'd be putting a deposit on it the next day lol. I'm really rather excited.

'99 Zuki Vitara JX 4 U Soft-top

Nice

Vitara pops up as a choice for my next car, but I'd prefer the Samurai. Can't affford a Landrover and I'm not paying more than €500 for a car thats not 4x4. These Suzuki's are more than capable of going places where a muscle car would die

That's not a car, it's an SUV.

Congratulations either way.


My first car was this:


She was a nice van. How I miss her.

One day left on my car I'm flogging on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2808684441...84.m1555.l2649

Could've been yours AJ, you're not a million miles away (just far enough for me not to travel everyday for a Krispy Kreme).

I'm moving on to a newer, but even smaller engined car

I'd have loved an SJ but these things are second best and it was too good a deal not to take However Defender 90s will always be my fav 4x4, with the exception of maybe UAZ 469s, but they're rarer than rocking horse sh*t

What counts as first car. First you buy or first your parents let you drive?

Both, in their own ways. The first car you drive is remembered forever. But then, so is the first one that's truly your own.
