Top story man, enjoyed reading it, looking forward to getting some memories like this now that i've passed my test

I wish my first car (Well... i'm only 16 so i still have it...) was half as exciting as that sounds. 1992 Honda Legend, not exactly the best car to be hooning around it, although people seem to enjoy the reclining rear seats

But I don't see whats so bad about Pot Noodles... perfectly fine...

Anyway, great story Reminds me of my first car, a Mini. Which I damn nearly set fire to when I 'test fitted' a new radio and the bare live wire shorted out on the radio cage thingy. Oops. Smokin! I learned a good lesson about fitting fuses that day
P,

For some reason I frequently had my dashboard in pieces in my Mk II Capri. Once I started it up not realising that the oil pressure gauge wasn't "fly by wire". GTX all over my stonewashed

lol, great story... why was it a surprise when your sister messed it up? happens all the time, wife, girlfriend, the like... it's only natural.
remember- the number of dents on your car is a reflection of how many times you let them drive!

Great story

My Dad is in the final throws of a 5 year long restoration attempt on a 105E that he found in a barn. He also had one as his first car so I will point him in the direction of this to get the old nostalgia going!

How true... my missus has dinged our car all over the place. Thankfully she doesn't get to ride my motorcycles.

I think everyone needs a 'Mad Jimmy' to fix their car!

My spitfire see's plenty of hamerite, staying in the snow would be pretty nippy in my spitfire though!

I'm searching for my first car at the moment, and am liking the possibility of waht was possibly the Anglia's main rival, the origional mini.
