Mine was a Mk1 Fiesta which I actually quite liked but fancied something newer so I bought a Mk2 Fiesta. The Mk 2 was the biggest pile of shite on wheels. I thought I had struck gold when a woman driver ran into the driverÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s wing and creased the door too but the insurance company bloody fixed it, much to my disappointment! Once I got it back from AlexanderÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s it was quickly sold on! I also had many happy memories in that car which is not suitable for this kind of group, ah those were the daysÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Mine was a H reg Nissan Micra it was reliable, cheap to run and I loved it! Had to sell it when I went to Uni and I was gutted.. learned to drive in that car.. reminds me of the Marina in that it had a big long gearstick that you had to throw into gear! my next two cars were Mk3 golfs and they had a tendency to blow up! I think it was the place I got them from not my driving

1970 Morris Minor 4 Door Saloon. I remember razzing down the M5 with no sound proofing or carpet at about 80Mph.. We beat an Astra!! Needless to say the head gasket went the following day.. My irresponsible days..!

Still have the car minor..

First car was a 1966 Ford mustang, really bad condition so I trade it for a 1974 mini van.....also at the same time after purchasing the mini had a Hillman IMP if anyone can recall the specific car.
