My first car was a volvo 940GL. I drove it for 6 months. Btw, my mate drives an Xb fairmont. It sounds pretty tough.

I don't have my own car as yet but that's ok. I only drive twice a week on average as I walk most places. I don't want an older car so I drive the folks car for now which is a VTII Acclaim. That's sad at 24, but meh... Looking to get at least a BA though. |

Datsun 180B. Was a hand me down when mum got a new car.
Lasted till I had to start Uni. Pulled up at the lights after 30 minutes of 100km/h driving to notice that the front was engulfed with steam. Almost boiled her dry from a nice crack along the top tank (2 people actually thought i had a fire in the engine bay the steam was that bad). Upgraded it after that to a new Festiva
