Gold Fiat Punto 1.2 60SX 
(when I first saw the car it was night time and I thought it was yellow )
I fitted a Kenwood minidisc player, speakers and a K&N filter. I thought it was a rocket. Then I got beaten at the lights by a mk4 Fiesta 1.25 or 1.4 and realised it was slow and shit.
I don't miss it at all! I miss my 2nd car, my Ford Fiesta Zetec-S mk5

1.6 8v spi mk3 astra, drove it like an absolute tit on country roads which ended in that. Ended up going over a hump in the road at 80mph on purpose but actually took off. Managed to save it one way but then over corrected it and the back wheel locked up - I slid at a 45degree angle for abot 30 feet before smashing into a rock at about 60mph, which sent me into about 5 or 6 360 spins. Me and my two mates were ok, if a little shaken up. Didn't help that that throttle had jammed open and the thing was revving its tits off either.
If there ever was a case of changing driving style after crashing though you're looking at it.

I remember my first crash after visiting Jambo. I took a load of mates out for a spin and they were shouting "faster, faster!!" down a country road...... I listened to them and nearly went off a verge overlooking a steep hill.
Had to stop in Marlow to kick the bumper off the tyre

1.2 16v Corsa B GLS AC. Loved it to bits, did like 30k in it in a year. Then some little cunt at school kicked the side of it in while havoing a fag and I lost interest. Sold it on.

class it as running repairs mate!
I did the same with the Corsa on a spirited drive (difference this time being I was alone) and spun round a corner into a barbed wire fence. I got out to see that I was about 8 inches away from having fallen over a 5 foot drop into a field below 
Didn't think I had this on the comp but this is what happened with the thing afer some unknown circumstances :

I paid £40 for my first car, a K Reg, Clio 1.2 RL Prima in red back in 2004.
It needed 4 new tyres, front brakes, an exhaust back box, the rear arches were shot, the clutch was slipping, the sump was cracked, it had a water leak, rocker gasket was leaking and the gearbox also had an oil leak. It also had a knackered track rod end and needed a drive shaft.
I'd never worked on cars before but my step dad was a mechanic so he taught me how to fix it up. I spent 3 months repairing her and she was on the road with tax and test for £300 all in. I was chuffed, real sense of achievement getting her all fixed up.
She lasted 18months then i gave her away as she was on her last legs.
