Mine was a 2001 Honda civic I bought in 2007. Loved that car ehhhh and saved for nearly a year to buy it (hahaha)Sold it after a year cos I needed t use it just to learn how to drive. Went the "tear-rubber" way soon after! |

My First Car was an Ox-Blood 1986 Honda accord Sedan.. That Car was a beauty I tell you.. Both to drive and behold. She was my birthday gift from my Dad for my (sweet) 16th Birthday.. Her acceleration was one of a kind.. Her power mirrors (to fold it) still trips me till tomorrow.. I had mad fun with her.. 1 Collision accident (that wasnt my fault ) 2 non-collision incidents that resulted in her windscreen being broken. 1 high speed spin out I lost my virginity in that vehicle.. Its a surprise I didnt concieve my first child in her.. Miss her so bad, wish I never sold her... |

My first car was a 1982 Mercedes Benz which i personally went to Cotonou and paid for (together with an agend that will ferry it back to Lagos)after like weeks of reserach into cars. cummulatively, i had serviced that car for less than 10times till date. I had driven and parked it for more than one year, then i commenced teh refurbishment of virtually all aspects of the car except the body. When concluded, i gave it out to a cousin who still loans it to me to drive down to the villa and use it there when perhaps i fly into teh eastern parts. Fond memories, i am wanting to buy another Benz 82 as a vintage car, all these guys taht are into car sales, Fhemmy and co, any one for grabs? |

People I am not a professional writer but I just want to use this medium to say a big thank you to me MOTOKA. Mine is a Honda Halla Lovely car Been there with me through thick and thing Remember then how I used to wash and clean it Never believed that any could do it better than me Not even the best car wash in this whole wide world! I couldn’t even believe that there was any other car better than my lovely Red Halla My Honda saw many cities and states in Nigeria as it accompanied me on my journeys. The state of Nigerian roads persistently battered my poor motoka, but it still remained faithful to me. With the years rolling by, my beautiful lady (as it then was) became me old man It was so so sad when me motoka started experiencing the old age sickness But I stood by it just like it did for me Even when most of the car doctors attending to it subtly told me to “euthanase” my old man, I gently told them that the idea is non-negotiable. All through my old man’s sickness, its soul has been still strong I only have to touch and speak to him in that special language that only the both of us understand, and it answers me immediately when I switch on the ignition And if after doing 2KM it suddenly gets a heart attack (happens often these days), I will just call Ejiro his Dr. to revive him Many cars have come and gone after him but it is soooo difficult giving up on this man I have noticed also that his doctors have started running away each time I take him over to their office for routine check up I always wonder why I am using this write up to thank my old man for all his services but I have just have to realize that your bones are really feeble now and I do have to retire you. I will always love you dear Honda MY MOTOKA IS A MOTAKA!!! 4 Likes |

Mine was a peugeot 504 sr salon motor Car. I bought the motor car "tear rubber" in 1987 from pan kaduna. The "motor" served me so well for 21 years. You wount believe i had to bump & escape through the barricade of highway robbers with this "motor". I reluctantly sold the "motor" due to presure from my & children. Who named it " Agba she kpèlè". The "motor" car was always loyal.*I hope we all know the difference between a car(ride) & a motor?* |

My first car, a 96 model Honda accord which i bought for £400 as a student and drove from leicester to Loughborough with non functioning brake and trafficator lights resulting in enough road rage along the way. Fixed my baby with another £200 to get MOT and we had a swell time rocking leicestershire together for about 2 years before i sold her off for almost what i bought her...Did it in a front seat for the first time in you and some fond memories of happennings in ur back seat too . |
Re: Memories Of Your First Car by edoyad(m): 1:35pm On Jul 05, 2012 |
My first Car was actually my Dad's Car, Since I was the only one driving it then, the general consensus was that it was effectively mine. It was a Green Benz 230E(Regular), I miss that Car. When I was leaving home my Mother staged a Coup and relieved me of that War horse. Now it's parked in my brother's House, dirty and dying away. I see her any time I go to visit him and capture some her essence(she has a unique smell).I remember driving family members every where in that Car. I learnt to drive in her. My feather weight Honda aint got nothing on her. |
