What was your first car?

1984 Toyota Corolla Sprinter that wouldn't die. Similar to this (not the actual picture, not sure if cameras had been invented then :-) )

Ford Cortina. I think it was about a 1975 model.

Don't have pics,it was written off about 6 months after I got it
 
Datsun 1200 - very reliable, economical - I loved that car!

Mazda 323 (First Generation). It was an astonishingly reliable car – it did over 300,000km before it packed in. Still sold it for R2,000 after its engine seized :)

This. Also my first car, and I only died when I wrote it off on a long trip back to Bethlehem during return from my first army pass.
