MkI 1300XL Ford Escort. Pale metallic blue. Loved it. Wrote it off spectacularly.
Nice. Mine was a MkII. I wrote it off spectacularly too.

85 Familia. 3 door, 3 speed with a beep at 105kph.
Cracking little motor, in our fam for 15 years snd never had any trouble. Close to 4K rpm at 100kph tho so pretty shit in fuel for a 1.5. Used to blast over the kaimais no problems and would do mean burnouts when the road was wet. Oh for simpler times.

I was a late starter on the driving front. Had my learners from 17 to 24, then finally got around to getting my restricted when I moved to shitty small towns. Dad then decided to buy me a car for Xmas. I believe he got a light brown version of this 1986 Mitsubishi Tredia for $500.
It lasted a year before the gear stick would just drop out of 5th gear into neutral. I replaced that with a 1993 Honda Ascot Innova which was an absolute cracker of a car.
