Didn't own a car until I was 40, always had company cars for nearly 20 years, that was an expensive shock having to tax insure maintain a car and van

this was my first car which never made the road. my proper first car was a red corsa gsi. which obviously i wrote off into a tree.

 

[White Room]

Boy racer then...

 

[cam_low]

not really, i like the mechanics of it more. had another gsi i put a red top into. Lost interest in the end and bought a van. the rest is history. I have a ford ranger over here, 3.0 straight 6. gas guzzler.

Storm was a V6 engine wasn't it?
I always wanted a G60 Corrado but never managed it...

 

[Lithofin BOB]

Not sure mate, it had an engine!!!!lol , corrado!! Nice

 

[Rich Midge]

G60 was the supercharged Corrado. The VR6 was a 2.9, took a few out but never committed to buying one. I think a Scirocco Storm had electric windows and leather. Recently contemplated buying another Scala (eBay £1550) storing for my boy so his first car would be the same as mine. Still trying to convince the missus.

Sometimes they just can't be convinced and you just have to "take one for the team" so to speak!
