1988 Cavalier sri 130, I was only 18 and felt so fast... Then bought a 1994 Cavalier Turbo in later life, was amazing but a pain in the arse, now I'm just driving my pride and joy........

My 1st Vauxhall was a 1984 Mk1 Astra estate 1300 S.  I absolutely loved that car, and I remember the colour was Henna Red.  It was exactly the same colour as rust... which was handy!  ::) ;D

My first VX was an 86 Astra 1.6 diesel - no turbo so the 0-60 time was measured in minutes!

Went forever on a tankful though.
