Haha that's sooo funny

.... "Russian"..."Red Sea"

My first car was a 1992 Toyota Landcruiser, which i then modified a bit to go off-roading... Was still about 13000EU though...
I guess i'll get a cheap banger once my house is built, and I have the room to store it

Got you all beat so far!

My inlaws gave us an old Dodge Omni with over 220k miles. We drove it until you couldn't open both doors anymore because it would settle!

Also got an old Suzuki Trooper II for free from my Step Father. All I had to do was put an insert in the crank so the pulley would stay on. And the dead cylinder was just helping me avoid speeding tickets.

$100 for a 1972 Ford Pinto that I NASCARed into a guardrail and $150 for a 1973 Ford Maverick that had a telephone pole imprint in the middle of the trunk. And I mean a BIG OL IMPRINT! A good detective could have matched it to the pole!

About 10 years ago our local Fiat dealer had a 126 [tiny 650cc air cooled rear engine] on the lot. I think it was about £350. I used to say to my wife how cute it was and how I felt sorry it as it was the scruffiest most unloved car that the dealer had, and that someone should take care of it. It had been there for months.

When I got home from work on my birthday one day I discovered the f****** thing in my back yard, gift wrapped and with the hazard lights blinking away. I was even able to take it for a drive as she had taken out an insurance policy for 24 hours. I was eventually able to donate it to a 'good cause'.

Well so much for being ahead. There's no doubt you just blew my out of the water with that one!
