1968 Triumph Herald - yes it was a convertible. About 3 weeks after I bought it got a bit uptight after Arsenal lost to Ipswich in the 1978 Cup Final, , ended up virtually writing it off - bl@@dy car could never go round corners anyway!

18yrs old - VW Golf GTi 16v - Rosso Wanted a motorbike, my dad was dead against it, so like a spoilt brat I said he had to buy me a decent car to stop me buying a bike... Loved that car to bits - gave it a sound thrashing.
Mk1 Scirocco. Cooler and faster than the Golf's and Xr2's everyone was driving at the time. Car cost £550, insurance 3rd party was £600 !! Rick
Tony, was yours the ltd edition that looked black, but was infact a dark metallic green? Or was it the one that was like the BMW Estoril Blue?
1st car was an Escort mk3 1.1 1982 Brand new I got insurance paid out on a bike accident after some arsehole took me out while pulling into a petrol station. I bought the car to please my mum, boring as hell after the bikes, so after 3 months did a stright swap for a Lancia Monticarlo 5 years old, what a car a mini ferrari, went round all corners sideways, the brakes were crap, but great fun. Andy.
