My mums old style Nissan Sunny . I took my driving lessons in it

What was the first car you ever owned?

The first car I bought was a Nissan Almira, just as they were released in the UK. It was my favourite car, I loved it.

What was the first car you ever really really wanted?

When I was 18, I really wanted either the Toyota MR2 or the Mazda MX5. They were both really nice. I went to a dealer to look at the MX5 and was totally gutted it didn't come with a stereo as standard! Not that I could afford to buy one like.... just wanted to drool!

It was a 1978 Mazda 323... my dad's car

What was the first car you ever owned?
A 1980 Audi 100.. it eas a wreck too... was hail damaged, had a big rip in the door , the water pump leaked and for some reason, the steering occasionally had a mind of it's own

What was the first car you ever really really wanted?

For some stupid reason it was a VW Beatle (this is way before the new Model)... I eventually bought one and hated it... it was probbly off the road more often than on...

Mine was a Renault Fuego - Poor mans Porsche - which I then traded in for an automatic 1 litre Mini (fun car) - The Fuego would be worth quite a bit now if i kept it and it was in good nick

Id forgotten all about that car. It seems to have faded into obscurity

"Poor mans Porche" was it quick?

I don't drive and am not planning to for a while. Thank goodness I didn't do my test last year as planned (have you seen the fuel prices!?!).

Although when I was at college at 16 I saw this car everyday on the bus journey and fell in love. I wanted that car in that colour.


A Chevrolet Matiz (it was a Daewoo Matiz back then).

I don't generally like green.

Good point. I don't know why but I really fell in love with that car. Not so much now. I've been told it's a 'box on wheels'. Not that I'd know anyway

My current car (Renault Grand Scenic) is that colour. It's so easy to spot in a car park!!! It's also a brilliant car
