What was your first car

My first car

Mine was Morris 1100 very similar to this one

and not near as tidy, it was the same colour though

Those were my careless days

One night many years ago I was doing hand brake

turns when things went a little wrong it was wet

and the sliding was more fun

But I slid into the gutter slamming in sideways the whole car lurched up as if it was going to roll

over , But it didnt What it did do though was bent the Passenger side rear wheel It bent it so

the top of the wheel was out further & the Bottom of wheel was bent under the car the stub axle

was bent also the tyre

was Buggered my spare was a tyre that was buffed ready for retreading But it was round &

went on. I drove it home & the next day my Brother Trev welded a big long steel pipe on the old

rim we bolted it back onto the hub went to the end of the pipe and lifted it up to straighten the

Stub axle out . We didnt get it perfect but it was ok to drive again

A bush man fix but it worked You would never get away with that now
