Vauxhall Viva (classic car) We called it the 'teabag' cos it had 1000 perforations (i.e. rust)

My dads Mazda RX7. And I scratched it and put it back in the garage. I told him recently - 15 years after the event. He laughed. Blinkin wouldn't have done at the time. I was only 14 and drove it to school!!!!!

My next-door neighbour was going to give me lessons in his cortina estate but I managed to knock the front bumper off first time out Blush.

Then drove my mum's renault 5 (named Burt-Burt Renaults).
Had proper lessons in a Nissan Micra and then drove my own Renault 5 (Bill). He was the last car I named as it's somehow more upsetting when they go to the great scrapyard in the sky. After that it was an Austin Metro, followed by a peugeot 205 that has lasted me the last 11 years. Am now the proud owner of a Rover 214SLi. At the age of (almost) 40 I've got my first sunroof!
Have also driven my mum's various cars, she goes through them quicker than I do but I can remember a Vauxhall Chevette, Toyota Starlet, VW Golf, Citroen something and now a Renault 9.

CristinaTheAstonishing · 18/06/2006 22:59

Dacia 1300 (like a Renault 12).

Tommy · 18/06/2006 23:20
