The best students car!! ( that your dady didnt buy!!)

[YellowMaranello]

I'm jealous of all of you. I have to buy a car if I want one, and that isn't going to happen because of a lack of funds. The closest time I can even think about owning a car is in 2 years. Whenever I do buy my first car, it's gonna be something (hopefully) cheap, RWD, manual, and lightweight. Those are about my only guidelines... eek.

Some people have all the luck. I drove a 1974 Volvo 164e. 3 Liter Inline 6 Fuel injection. It was a hand-me-down. I managed to drive off-clock (200kph) and even drove it for 6 months without a radiator fan as the spares where rediculously expensive! I was amazed at the durability of that car. Also its features: aircon, leather interior. Some kind of dual brake system. Not too much power, but enough.

When I studied for a 2nd degree I was driving a 1972 BMW 3.0S. I loved it to death. Bought it because the 3.0CSi's where way out of my price range. Never had such a smooth engine again! It had 180bhp (I think that's 200hp) and could easily hit 190 (It was automatic and the rev limit was there). Spent WAY too much money to keep it running. Now I own a 1980 Porsche 911 SC. See under my topic in this forum(I have, been in, want). I love old cars. I did not study in the 70's!

Heres my first car that my grandma gave me when i was at school
THE MIGHTY DATSUN 120Y!!!!

[bmwfreak]

My student car (well, mom and dad paid for it) for Uni is a Perodua Kelisa that has been resprayed in... a rather interesting colour, with lowered ride height, diff rims, etc. (= you can see it here = http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8976

Back in high school, when i got my license at 17, i drove an E34 520i. That car has now been sold to my dad's company, to act as a company car for one of our GMs or Chairman of one of the subsidiaries, or something like that. I still see it now and then, and it holds a special place in my heart, since it was only the second BMW that my family ever owned (the first was an E28 520i)
