 The 1st car i owned was a Ford corsair 2.0L in 1976, but passed my test in my Dad's Hillman Hunter.

Nobody is allowed to laugh at this one. My first car registered to me was an fso 125p. It was a brick on wheels. Learnt to drive in a triumph acclaim (1.3 twin cam), was quite quick for a four door saloon.

At 13 I had full access to a black Ford Prefect 100E to play with.
At 15 I had a Fiat 600 which I used to play with, could get it into second on the drive ::) ::) ::) sometimes used to take it up the road a little :-X
First on the road car was a 1963 Mini Woody, 850cc and floor mounted push button starter, Reg 6677UP

Was that the "Countryman" Mike? :-/

That's the one, also called a Traveller, a very practical car. :y :y :y

A 1965 Ford Anglia 997cc which I ended up "chavving" up a bit with twin choke carbs, 4 branch manifold, semi straight through large bore exhaust, 51/2J Rostyle wheels etc. etc. ::) Loved it to bits, but then I was only 17 at the time! ;D

Nothing wrong with the old Polonez. It handled and had a quick, cammy motor (for the time).

My first was a Mk2 Cortina, 1600 X-flow. Handled like a barge but had the best x-flow engine of 4 of the cars I owned with it.
