So, cars then. First car? Favourite car?

My first car was a s**tty avocado green Mini Clubman estate, the ones with the double doors at the back. I hated it, it was the least cool car ever. I especially hated it because I had persuaded my mum (who knew nothing about cars) that a suitable car for them to get for their beloved children was a Capri. My dad laughed his socks off when he got home.

My favourite car was almost my yuppy Golf GTI, which was fast and reliable and comfortable, but in fact was a 1965 TR4 which I had restored for me and which went like s**t off a shovel. I adored it and it was stolen one night in central London. Never saw it again VERY SAD FACE.
