I still have mine because my fiancee kinda took it over. She's the sentimental one :p

But she was quick to say she'll take my car when I said I'm going to sell my new car and use it for a deposit on another one ;)

1st car I bought myself was a Opel Corsa 1.6 GSi ... as with all Corsa drivers, I rolled it soon after.

My very 1st car I drove was an old lime green Datsun 120Y...it's still standing at home. My mates used to call it the green mamba. Hasn't been used in years. Everyone always wanted to buy it, but I'm guessing I could only sell it for R1000 now (Including a full tank of petrol.)

Hey i've never rolled a corsa!! :D

have you ever driven one? Just kidding.

My first was a Datsun 180Y SSS Coupè. 4 speed box, 1,8L motor. Went like the blazers but didn't stop so good. It was also 1 year older than I was. :eek:

Mine was a OPEL ASTRA 1.8E 1994 that baby had everything. Power Steering, aircon, electric windows you name it. I told the salesman the day I bought it, that it had to do everything except make coffee. My wife does that :D

It was a sad day when I let her go. If I could I would gladly buy her back today. I named her NIKITA ( my eldest daughters name). :p

Was sad when my 1980 Mazda 323 hatchback got stolen.
And I had to walk 7km a day to work. And 7km back again. :(

My next Mazda which I bought 6 months later, survived 2 attempted thefts, and I was happy to sell it..

Mine was a 88 Jetta, cost me R14,000 - had it for four years and hated it, it was constantly broken - built like a tank though - traded in for a Golf 4, I didn't even think I'd get to VW to do the trade in, but she made it, wish I had a picture of her though: (

Golf 4 I also hated, I think it must be the softest car in the world.... was constantly in accidents.
