First car

Wasn’t expecting it to take off as it has.

Like most of the clapped out cars in this thread!

My parents were well into their 60s now and they said that in the 70s and 80s you couldn’t trust a car to start in the morning. The days or running a car down a hill to get it going are well over.

My first car was the Fiat 127 , bought for 800 pounds . My brother had the bigger Fiat version the Fiat Mirifarori (spelling could be wrong) but they were popular in the 80s .

First one I has was a Renault 5. Heap of shit, constantly breaking down

A funny story about my first car. When I bought it first the motor for the wipers was banjaxed so the wipers were constantly on. I was behind a lorry one spring day and it sprayed a load of muck onto the window which then meant I couldn’t see clearly. So there was me hanging out the window with a bottle of water trying to wash it off while also steering with the other hand.

It wasn’t that funny at the time though!

How rich are you? top 1st car in fairness.

I’d rather not comment on my apparent riches, for they are only a mere vizard to my poverty-stricken existence.

They also invented call centres, I wonder did you or indeed Water Boy ever have the displeasure of working in one?

Call centers never appealed to me, too much of a conglomerate clusterfuck for my liking. It just never caught my eye as a career path I’d like, I’d be more interested in abstract areas such as philosophy.

I had both in my time and both nearly broke me
