I hardly dare say, seeing as I passed my test 40yrs ago  It was a yellow Vauxall Chevette, very tinny, I now have a Renault Megane, yes the one with the funny shaped back.  |

There is only one car worth having and we are talking the ultimate in cars!
Its the Lada Riva 1500 and the colour of choice is pale beige with orange and chocolate brown pinstripes down its flanks. Couples with plush milk chocolate brown velour upholstery and a classic dash mounted tape player make it the king of cars to pass your test in and keep for ever  |

A white Ford Escort what number came after I haven't a clue!
My ex-husband had a beige Lada my mum used to call May Reach. It was ALWAYS breaking down hence you "may reach" where you're going, or you may not!
Happy days! |

"Mine was a Morris Minor called Maisie- my cousin named it after herself :o) She wasn't written off oddly- went on to a new life in Stirling."
I shall keep a look out for her
Mine was a Mk 3 Escort,spent a LOT of time in the garage,& didnt have a radio,so the last song I heard on the radio before I left for work had to be the one tuck in my head all the way there. |

I passed in a 2003 Vauxhall Corsa.
The first car I drove was a 1997 (I think) Seat Leon.
The first car I owned was a 1995 Ford Fiesta.
I then had a 2006 Ford Fiesta Freedom.
I now have a 2007 Rav 4 XTR and Hubby has a 1998 Toyota HiAce. |

I had 16 driving lessons with my mum back in the 80s before passing my test first time. My dad said 'Ha! If you pass your test first time with your mother teaching you I'll buy you a car!'
True to his word, he turned up and handed me the keys to a Ford Escort MKI in midnight blue with a narrow red stripe down the side. I named the car Errol and he transformed our lives (me, ex-hubby and 2 kids). Our world opened up and we went out and about everywhere in that little car.
I've had dozens of cars since but I'll always have a soft spot for Errol the Escort |

Yes they certainly have, I wish I had kept mine, especially if I had known my mate was going to let it rot away! 
These days I have a few Yankee cars, a 1994 Volvo and a rusty van for the Disco jobs! Lol |

A Mark 1 Ford Transit tipper truck with a York deisel engine in it, anyone who knows about these will know that they were the worst engine ever made. Me and my mate had to use a can of aero-start and then tow it every morning for a year to start it untill finaly we had enough money to buy a newer truck.
20 years later i still have Transits and have had many during that time and wouldnt change to anything else...
As for cars.... my first i got probably 3 years after i started driving and it was a Peugeot 205 Turbo D, was a little flying machine at the time |

believe it or not, there's a guy who works around here, still uses a Mk1 transit tipper on a daily basis. It's green and I think on a 'P' Reg .. looks so old old old, funnily enough they guy who drives it dresses in the same era - bobble hat and dungarees |

It was a H teg Ford Escort in metallic green, parked it in a lockup garage, before i learnt to drive proper, i reversed it out and bashed the wing (knocking the garage door off in the process)...What a plonker..

Driving 17 years - got licence 4 years ago (hmm - irish!) 1st car was a white one, blew the engine (number plate is proudly hanging on living room wall as a reminder, i had a little tear when the scrappy took it away). 2nd car, a silver one - blew the engine. 3rd car, an orange one - blew the engine. 4th car, a navy one - still alive and running, but each time i take it to mechanic he says, "surely its dead this time!" But hey, it lives, so each time im leaving his garage, he says, "thanks, without you i wouldnt be in business!"
