First car was a Mk2 Fiesta Ghia but that never went on the road under my ownership. So first proper car was a 106 1.0 Key Largo. Most fun but terrible car I've ever had!

VW Golf Mk3 1.4 cl that I gti speced up..... Annoyingly got written off by an uninsured driver but I did then get a brand new 06 plate Corsa 1.2 twinport courtesy car with 6miles on the clock, had that for over 6 months, longer than my golf lasted!! Haha

I passed my test about a month ago, my current/first car is a 306 1.9td meridian, strangely cheap to insure, my mate has a 2001 1.0l corsa and he has a years no claims, lives literally down the road and his insurance isnt even 100 quid cheaper - goes to show not about the engine size! The best part is it wipes the floor with any of my mates little 1.2 clios and corsas and its yet to be tuned.....

Peugeot 306 1.4 Meridian
 only drove it once because I'm saving for insurance but I love it!

I got a 306 1.4 off my grand parents as they could no longer drive. It was Diablo.
THen I got a 306 1.8 which i bought for £900. It is Diablo. Then I bought a 306 hdi estate which I bought for £300. It is Diablo. The estate failed its MOT and now im back in the 1.8. Which is diablo.

My first CAR was a Fiat Uno 1.0 with a 4-speed box, but the first vehicle I actually drove on the road was a mk4 Escort van my uncle gave me to get me around looking for a car because he was going to scrap it for £50, ran it for 3 months until the MOT ran out and then cubed it because it was terminally rotten.

My first car is the one I have now, Peugeot 306 1.9 XTDT. The criteria for choosing it was:
Tuneability Reliability Economy Cheap insurance It ticked all the boxes and I bought it for the pricely sum of £620 back in april '09 with 128k on the clock. Now just coming up to 160k and had a lot of money spent on it over the years and I have learnt a lot about mechanics It has been a great car, couldn't have asked for a better experience. Oh yeah and in winter 2010 I crashed it and bent the chassis leg and then had it straightened back out and it was as good as new

Bought that when i was 15 went through a load of cars whilst i was learning not crashed just buying and selling, then strangely bought another 1.2 corsa a week before passing my test which actually seen some road use. Then had a couple fiestas and saxos a cinquecento a 306, then i settled with my sigma (fooking loved that thing) then kept my xud boost love with the 205
Doesnt even own a 306.
