What car did your dad own when you were too young to drive?

[URSIMPO]

I will start off, my dad had a 1988 Audi 90 quattro back in 1990. I was about 7, but I would have loved to have a go in it now.

When i was a kid i learnt to drive in my dads red 82 Coupe GT, 5S model with the 1.9 5cyl carb engine. At the same time my uncle had a red 83 Coupe GT 5E with the 2.1 Fuel injected engine.
About five years later my dad changed to an 85 Audi 90, uncle bought an 86 Coupe GT, and then my dad changed to a metallic black 85 90 Quattro. Kept that car for about six years, probably the best car we ever had. I pretty much spent my childhood around and in the back of 5cyl Audis.

There was a brief period when my dad drove Japanese and Italian cars just to cure the itch, buy we bought my mum an 88 Audi 80 TD to keep an Audi in the family. Then came the urS4, my CQ20v, and finally the S2 Avant. Somethings never change

2.8 granada ghia, nice brown colour with matching brown vinyl roof and surprise surprise a brown interior. Growing family got him into a '83 passat estate 1.6d. It was brown too. Was everything in the '80's brown??
Other cars I remember: Talbot sunbeam, Ford Cortina, '87 passat, '83 Nissan Bluebird.

snap lol, my dad had a coupe gt5s, this one, which is now in my lockup and I was apparently brought home from the hospital when I was born in it

Think I was around 10 when he got a blue 80 sport, his mate went out and found himself a 90 cq in black. Few years later and dad gets an alpine white 10v '85 ur, then his mate goes and gets a tornado red 20v ur

I used to be rocked to sleep in the back of an 86 ur quattro (back in 1990-92), then ferried about in urs4s when I was older. Last "interesting" one was a 4.2 A8 quattro sport, then I could start burning fuel myself.

Ford Escort mk2 RS2000 with shark nose in red with black roof. I cried when that was sold. Followed by various XR3i's and XR2i's, then my Dad settled down and had various droll boxes until his first Audi in 2001, a 1999 Audi A6 1.9TDi. Plus he always had bikes to play on, as bikes rule our households, highlight of which was an immaculate Ducati 888.

Had various Audi's with other family members though, stepfather has had a 1993 Audi 80 1.9TDi since 1994, an uncle has had an Audi 80 Sport since 1996 and another uncle has a 1993 Audi 80 Avant 1.9TDi.

Then came my 1995 Audi A6 2.5TDi bought in 2005, quickly replaced by my current '93 S2 Avant Nothelle in 2006.

Before my dad got the 90 quattro, he had a mk2 8v Golf GTI. I didn't want him to sell it at the time, but only because it had 4 horn buttons!!

Beetle's,Beetle's,Beetle's,Beetle's, oh and a Caravette which I managed to blow up while on a Karting trip.Me driving cause he was golfing , and on the way back on the back of a pickup truck we drove past the club where he was playing just as he was coming out, his face was a picture....

my dad had a type 85 90 cd in gorgeous metallic blue (wish they did s2's in that colour) that i fell in love with, hence why ive been hooked on audis since i was 7 years old !!

My dad had a IZh 21251 kombi, that's probably why I dont stand Limos or Coupes, I'm just used to the space in Avant. When I got my driving licence I bought the car off my dad, drove it for 2 years, afer that I bought myself an Audi. The old faithful is sill waiting in the garage, in the future I plan to take it apart and have it 100% restored to the state that I remember when I was 5. Also since the IZh is sill fit enough to pass the MOT, it's still acknowledged as my backup car, just in case I would need one.

55kW, 106Nm, 1200Kg, 1.5L carbed engine from 1960-s. Original Alloys (basically impossible to get in Soviet Union), Belarus blue tractor color(still not sure on painting it to RS blau, would look nice but maybe a bit worong on old soviet workhorse)
