Car and bike memory.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Why is it I can remember the registration number of my very first car and motorcycle........but struggle with anything more recent?

For the record, FUE 756K......1972 Triumph 1500 with FWD.....and NRE 1L a 1973 Garelli Bimatic.

I can remember my first shag in great detail as well. ......although it didn't last very long.

I can remember what it was but not the registration number.

Can remember most of mine but won't list 40+ vehicles 1st was an Austin A 40 5016VW

My first car was a Mini GDK198D, which had more filler in it than metal (almost), but I took my test (and passed) in a newer Mini ODK959M.
I can also remember the registrations of my earlier cars and the majority of my more modern cars...probably because I actually liked the cars and enjoyed them even when they broke down (more frequently than not...)
Strangely, I can remember all my girlfriend's names too...
What day is it again...?

Someone would give a reasonable price for that reg now...

I can remember a couple of my old Dad's cars.

TOC 543 H ......Fiat 125S.....which had 100 BHP and was quick (1970)

GUK 571C.....a 2 litre Ford Coarse Hair. (1965)

I bet it would be worth a few quid now I think I paid £40 for the car in 1970.

In 1979, I bought a Mini 850 for my wife to learn to drive in (I had a Mini Cooper S then and she wasn't learning in that!). It was reg DON932C. Tried to sell it later to a work mate called Don, but he wasnt interested, so I just flogged it with the car.
A few years later I bought a Triumph 2000 with the reg PAT100M. Thought it would be good for my wife (for obvious reasons ) but she wasn't bothered about a personal registration, so again I let it go with the car
That was two mistakes I made.....

First car was a Renault 5 GTL 1300cc OCA 502V. 

Can't remember my first bikes reg, but it was a Kawasaki AE50 that would give the Fizzies a run for their money! 

Too many girlfriends to remember the names!
