    Why do you want to know about everyone's first car, first job, best job, worst job?

    A green Austin 1100 in around 1980. It had 2 neutrals and no handbrake :D

    Better than my blue Austin 1100 which jumped out of top gear.

    1992 Rover Metro 1.1...It was my mum's old car. I called her Sadie. I passsed my test in 2004, but it still managed to get up to 90 mph bombing down the M5 to Bristol! It was a white(ish) rust bucket by the time I "inherited" it, loved and hated in equal measure. I think most people have a soft spot for their 1st cars :D

    Talbot Sunbeam 1.6 with a black vinyl roof. Lovely interior though, I bought it off a friend so knew the history really well- I was in it when he crashed it!

    A 'company' mini, which used to make a metallic clunking noise a fraction of a second after you came to a halt. Turned out it was the two halves of the car coming back together:eek:

    None of these were my fault. I was safer on a motorbike!.
