"First car is my current car, a black vauxhall Corsa and gets me from A to B so no complaints driving in London how do you find only drove trucks there would say challenging"
When you've lived in london you're whole life honestly it's not that bad but I could understand why you may find it kinda confusing if you're not from there |

"A red 850cc mini, a basic one from '73, so it was quite old when I had it.
Less of a car and more of a go-cart-with-a-roof-on-it and makes smile every time I think of it."
good fun when you think back |

"Ford Orion Ghia.
Bought it from a car auction as soon as I passed my test.
I absolutely loved it. "
I had one of these as my second car. The previous owner had put the escort rs turbo engine in it. It was an awesome machine. Wish I still had it but bits kept falling off it as I drove along. |

My 1st car was a Silver V reg Vauxhall Corsa Sport. There was nothing sporty about it at all.
I put big stupid wheels, lowered suspension and a stupidly loud exhaust on it, I thought it was the dogs bollox, looking back I must of looked like a complete bell end ?? |

Probably not, I wasn’t one for speeding around a McDonald’s car park trying to impress people. The electrician in work helped me fit a sound system. His son had the same car and had a big sub woofer in his spare wheel well and had to carry his spare on the back seat, I opted for 2 little subs, 1 under each front seat. |

An old work mate had one of these for his first car, he used to bang on about having one but his dad brought him to work, 1 day he turned up in it. It was the biggest rusty piece of crap I’d ever seen and used to over heat for fun. This was in the early 2000’s.
After that be had a cavalier which was just as old and shit and the R5GTT. |

In 1985 I bought a 'N' reg Austin Mini, blue, no power steering, no radio, I put a cassette deck inside and there was no carpets inside, just bare metal. It was a blast driving that car. |

As an ex taxi driver in a Ford Granada and then a Sierra and finally a Mondeo I understand the acronym , Fix Or Repair Daily.
Ford really got better with the Mondeo. |
