My first car :D

ajrimmer42 · 04-24-12, 01:58 PM

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.

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

Spike88 · 04-24-12, 02:14 PM

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.

Congrats!
I am counting down the days to my full liscence

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

You never forget your first.

Conga rats.

Gargamel · 04-24-12, 04:24 PM

Grats.

Have fun on your roof!

Seriously, they love to flip over, be careful. Responded to more than a few if those on their roofs.

ajrimmer42 · 04-24-12, 04:38 PM

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?

Sailor Steve · 04-24-12, 08:24 PM

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.

Onkel Neal · 04-24-12, 09:34 PM

ajrimmer, I have an 03 Suzuki XL7, it has 151,000 miles and has been virtually trouble free. A Great Car, I hope yours brings you the same experience.
