As I'm quite new to the site I thought I would write a little about my car history in case anyone is interested. I have always loved old chod as growing up we didn't have much cash so dad's cars were always near the end of their life! When I left school at 16 (1998) I did a few months mechanical apprenticeship at the local Vauxhall dealership in Scunthorpe. While there I bought a MK1 Fiesta that had been traded in. IIRC it was a "Quartz" edition, it was a strange colour sort of metallic dark brown/charcoal grey depending on the light. (Havana brown) I paid £100 for it sold the stereo for £30+ another stereo which I then sold for £20, as I hadn't passed my test and had zero cash I sold it on to a mechanic there for £100, I assume is was scrapped not long after My second car (also pre driving test) was a 1980 Triumph Dolomite 1500HL in Green with a beige interior, my dad used this as a daily until the tax ran out, it was left in the garden and ended up with a seized clutch. Lack of skill/money/driving license led to this being scrapped too........gutted. At some point I will dig out some photos of the Dolomite.
