My first car was a 1.6 Capri, I had it for a couple of months then stepped up to the 2.8i

Have owned two 2.8 Injection Capris. Sounded lovely and went quite well but had terrible brakes (rear drums!).
First car was a 1978 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Sprint alloys.

I loved those and the KH400

The only bikes I ever took a fancy where these and the CBX1000 and Z1300 coz of the 6 Cylider setup.

i had one of these  same colour when i was 16, ss50  

Me too, first of the 50cc at 16, market suddenly flooded with super mopeds. £250.00 iirc in 1973, just bought a new 50cc scooter for step son £461.99.

do you remember the garelli  moped, was it a tiger, had 6 gears, all you could hear was gear changes non stop

There was a chopper one as well, cant remember the name, iirc there were 4 super mopends, the SS50 the Fizzie the Garelli and the chopper, it was a while before other joined in. Thery were all good for at leat 50mph though, much safer than the 30mph they can go now.

the name was fantic motor..........my first was a casal 50
