Okay people tell me about the first set of wheels you had... and what you drive now.
My first car was my beloved 1995 for fiesta, speed bumps were no match for this fella!
Now I'm rolling around in a seat Leon!
Let's hear about your wheels!

First car was a 1.4 fiesta that I could only put about £12 of petrol in because there was a hole in the tank, had to hit the starter motor sometimes with a bar and there was a dodgy fuse that would make it act up haha didn't have it long!! Now we drive an S-max |

First car was a Nissan Micra (C reg) and I was absolutely devastated when it went to the great scrap yard in the sky.
I am now driving my third car - a 55 plate Ford Fiesta purchased new. I'm going to miss that one when it goes too... |

First car was a '94 Vauxhall corsa merit 1.2, now it's a '97 VW polo 1.4cl. Not really a huge change. Had a couple in between but just bought the polo as a run about whilst I'm rebuilding the engine on my series 3 Landy |

"First car was a beast 1.2 Polo. Think when I sold it the clutch was burnt to hell!
Now have my baby. Audi RS6. Shows what’s achievable with some hard work! "
Fair play man. What year is the RS6? it’s one of the few executive cars that would drag me away from BMW’s. |

First car - Gold Rover Metro Vanden Plas with brown velour interior and a bean can exhaust that sounded like a bee in bucket. Cost me £95 in 1993.
Now, BMW 335d.
Looking at changing though, nice little Italian number I have my eye on. |

First car a white & rust MK1 1966 Hilman Imp. The pipes from the engine at back to the heater were scaled up so you froze in the winter & in the summer it would over heat & refuse to start again unless you bump started it.
Current car 2004 VW Bora auto TDI 50+mpg & goes like a rocket. |

"A beaten up TR2 (cost £150) now MX 5 - I like taking the top down - would do more of it, taking the top down, if Fabsters were less ageist!"
Can’t beat a top down drive. Hubby likes to use my mx5 on a Saturday when I’m not working. If it’s dry he always has the top down on the way to work at 3am |

Loved driving my boss's coupe when I work for Merc, good thing he shared my enthusiasm for speed so he didn't mind me giving it some lol |
