Bristol 400 saloon. Beautifully made but the brakes were awful. At the last roundabout of the series on the A5 at Shrewsbury the brakes were no longer working!

A Ford Escort 1.1 Mk 1 1974 hand painted in Red
, cost me a small fortune every MOT, turned into a swimming pool inside the car when it rained, which in the UK is fairly often. It served me for 2 years, which for a Ford is a long time
Come on who's had a Reliant Robin then, own up

Had a Fiat Panda!
But mine was better than Gromski`s...........
.....It was the 999cc FIRE engined one with a 5 speed box!
Strange looking back, I felt like Johnny Big Bollox driving that around when I was 18. Now kids aren`t interested unless it`s got 17`s and a massive stereo. I`d have driven just about anything!

First car I could call my own rather than my wife's was an M reg Cavalier 2.0 16v cdx, thought it was quite quick, but 0-60 took an Eon compared to the scoob. My brother's first car was a Vauxhall Viva- brush painted black gloss, with shedded bristles stuck in it. We laughingly referred to it as "KITT".
