First date - What shit car would you choose?

[strangehighways]

Imagine your first date...

 

What is the shittest/funniest/worst possible car you would choose to pick a girl up from her parents house in?

 

There are just so many cars that would make a lovely young woman scared shitless, or just think you were a plain weirdo.

 

I would choose the Talbot Tagora, but as that car has been covered a few times recently, I think I will go with something else.

 

Just imagine if I turned up at her house in this car....it would scare her!

 

Citroen CX Estate

 

It would have to be a diesel varient as well.

The original and best...

the mk1 Sierra (1.3 petrol or 2.3 diesel only)

1.7 NA diesel slug FTW

[FredTransit]

If she don't like it stuff her. She's the wrong woman anyway.....When my nephew said his (then) girlfriend wouldn't get into one of our vans he was running, I said let her get on the bus then. She's his wife now and we don't speak any more.... I rest me case.

Seth is exactly the sort of hoodlum you wouldn't want to pick your daughter up. You can just imagine him wheelspinning off at 2am after dropping her back home. Scoundrel!Anyway, I reckon anything that looks shabby could be a problem, but if it's clean and not a particularly ridiculous configuration of vehicle, they should just deal with it.Take the Tagora, to us it's a strange failure of a car with a bizzare story, immense rarity and a slightly weird dashboard. To some young lady, it's just a discreet executive car with comfortable seats. If they started moaning about it, it'd just be because it's too old/square, you'd probably get the same reaction if you turned up in a Volvo 740 or something, so they're not worth having.I don't have that problem though, loads of HOT CHICKS want some beige Galant action for God knows what reason. Though strangely, few are bothered by the Charmant. Sodding women!

As long as you are GIVING them some hot beige galant action...

[mnde]

There are loads but if we're talking first date, first car, this immediately springs to mind:

 

 

Imagine this is an earlier one, B reg, boggo spec, in a sickly metallic green colour.

 

Years ago (1996) I went out with a girl who drove, but I hadn't yet passed my test, so she used to come and pick me up from the parents' house.... in a metallic blue C reg Rover 213

 

Mark.

Brilliant! Really, the more 'normal' the cars are, the funnier it is. Base model, poverty spec.

[mnde]

Oh I forgot - the metallic green paint has to have faded to matt on several panels Mark.

To be honest, it is probably best if I go with the "Naw, I just drove by" Vanilla Ice approach. If they wanted a ride, it would involve me emptying the passenger footwell of carrier bags, old magazines, empty cans of "Rubicon" and a random selection of tools. Which might shatter the illusion somewhat.

[jamesymurray]

quintessential first-timers car

 

the one in the pictures is far too clean though. you'd be expecting some severe rust damage to the arches and filler cap area...

[pogweasel]

Simply arrive in anything that conveys a vague threat of rape/murder/being buried in the woods.

 

Old, rusty, dirty and possibly containing previous girlfriends/victims DNA are the key features to have.

 

Extra points for badly concealed rohypnol, a length of rope in the footwell and a hunting knife on the passenger seat "Er... sorry love, lket me move that for your..."

Similarly having a large sticker proclaiming you to be a follower of www.ukdogging.com applied to the window will set the appropriate tone for the evening.

When I was wooing Ms_Bol I took her for a night out in manchester, she got all glammed up in a furry coat and long red dress, obv I opened the passenger door of my hand-painted maestro diesel van like a proper limo driver. YES M'LADY

[jamesymurray]

this couldn't be a good sign...

A van - the shabbier and older the better. A J reg Transit panel van in a dark colour with the rear door windows blacked out would set the right tone.Police looking for serial killers in the US always look for vans first although one of the really infamous 70s/80s ones (poss Bundy or Dahmer) had a blue VW Beetle.

[Cavcraft]

I'd like to turn up in a Mk3 Allegro with sunstrip bearing our names I think, that should certainly get the message across Shoe on th other foot though if anyone ever turns up to date my daughter in a Fiat Punto, Citroen Saxo or any sodding VW Golf then they will departing the premises alone with a size 12 up their jacksy.

[FredTransit]

Did you say A reg panel van with the windows blanked out??

 

 

That little jap van made me gasp. What a waste of nice wheels that would be.....

[michiel]

I got my licence ten years after our first date (aka an afternoon spent in the school bar, me doing the books - I think we sold 8 mars bars and 17 cups of coffee that day - and her hanging around listening to The Cure on full blast), so it was just bicycles back then.

 

If I had to date again I'd pick a bosozuku'd Kei car, exhausts blaring to avoid conversation. This one would do:

 

 

Edit: or howzabout two of these, whatever they are, for a fun drive yourself date:

 

 

 

 

Quickest way to find out if she's got a sense of humour?

[shite_meister]

Hows about a classic AC Acedes?

 

 

I think my ideal choice would be an old Series 1/2/3 Landy covered in shit, cramped, noisey and uncomfortable it would be an ideal test of future compatibility, if she likes it you are onto a winner.

Both owned by the same bloke, with whom many a young girl try to get their photo taken with.

[seth]

You can just imagine him wheelspinning off at 2am after dropping her back home. Scoundrel!

Which tree/bush were you hiding behind at 2 in the morning!!BMC 1622 RWD GR8 4 DRIFT (MAY BREAK VALVE SPRINGS)

[Rusty Pelican]

First ever date with my now wife 18 years ago was in this , fresh out the scrapyard , i told her not to wear anything white as it was filty inside

 

[trigger]

My first date 12 years ago was in this

 

 

Strangely the girl wasn't as impressed with my car as i was and i remainded a virgin for a while longer...

[pandamonium]

My first date with the girl who was to become my first wife was in a faded red 'F' reg Metro city that I bought for £70. Oh, and the front suspension had sunk. Oh, and it cut out at anything over 60mph!

I was peering through the curtains. Then I went into some big rant (to no one in particular) about the state of the area - first the Ropers moving in next door, then boy racer hooligans turning up at night to pick up their girlfriends, whatever next?

 

 

The residents association are going to hear about this at the next meeting, that's for sure. We can't allow the tone of this area to be lowered any further.

[pandamonium]

In fact I think it can be seen lurking in this pic here. Alloys were a later addition. The Hyundai was mine too.

Surely you had a shagging blanket to put down?

Nope , theres a wood behind , at the time i also had a far better car to use but thought hay this Imp is ME , if she doesnt put up with this its not going to work , Still together , say ahh bless

Take the Tagora, to us it's a strange failure of a car with a bizzare story, immense rarity and a slightly weird dashboard. To some young lady, it's just a discreet executive car with comfortable seats

Hmmm, for me its the other way around...........To me, my 87' Rover Sterling is a discreet old executive car with a great number of toys and comfortable seats, to some young lady it's a strange ugly failure of a car thats looks too boxy and old and is linked to failure 'because its a Rover'. And then they often go on to moan about not understanding why I dont have 'decent' car.
