I wish my first car was a Ferrari 360 Spider, unfortunately:
- Fiat 126p (first one)
- Citroen AX
- Renault Twingo
- Seat Altea
- VW Jetta
- 206cc + Opel Zafira Tourer (current cars)
Still longing for that Ferrari I never had :-)

Re: What was your first car?
I had a Fiat 126 as a project. I was in the process of fitting a Renault V6 and transaxle, but I lost my storage, so it had to go.

I'm considering a 126 as a little toy. They are plentiful and cheap as cheaps over here, plus spares are available over the counter for pennies too.

I had Abarth stickers made for mine and belt cushions with Abarth logo embroidered...
Never heard of someone putting a V6 in a 126p but there are a few videos of one with an engine from a motorbike. and it is fast...

Re: What was your first car?
There are a few people putting big Motorbike engines in lots of cars now. My Classic group is the Austin A30 & A35s and we have a couple with big 1100/1300 Kawasaki engines.
One owner is building a 1275 A-series with a 16v BMW bike head .. estimating around 135bhp! A small increase over the 28bhp the original 803cc engine made!
