My Dad's Dolly Sprint.

Just a wild shot, Steve? Uncle Kev had a blue one?

Was on one of the Colin McRae rally games on PS2.
Was white with a black bonnet, anyone have any idea what year / driver by any chance?

Edit:
Tell a lie the first car was probably my model one of these (still got it somewhere)

Bizzarely this.....Citroen Ami 8



Th first car that I actually remember my mum having and it was probably the thing that started my love of Citroens. Currently having a hankering for a Mehari, but they are silly money on Fleabay!

VW Beetle unfortunately.

[glazbagun]

Fiesta MKII. THought they looked really futuristic with those curvy lights/indicators & (for reasons I cant' understand) really like d the rear lights, too. When the MKIII Came out I thouhgt it fell from space!

This was probably the first car which genuinely made me sad to think that I'd never own one.

I still remember reading and re-reading the Top Gear magazine review.

Seeing this in the Donington Collection aged 5 or so. Such a wonderful car. Some would call it the first Ferrari.



So what is it ?

And thus began my love affair with Japan at the tender age of 7 (I remember getting to watch You Only Live Twice as a birthday treat!)

a white box with a red cross in it, although my guess is your refering to one of the Ex Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeos

Being allowed to sit in one in a garage in Carlisle. Aged about 6/7 years.
WOW just WOW.

Mid sixties and I remember that I was playing in the front garden. I was seven and my neighbour's son turned up in a brand new one of these.



It was incredible. I'll never forget it. Unfortunately, the guy was a total twonk and he wouldn't let me sit in it.

Still, he's probably about 70 years old by now, so I win.

The first thing I remember dad owning



The first car I remember being impressed by (really)



The first car I remember loving



The first car I promised myself I would own

[glazbagun]

MIght be wrong, but I think the earliest car I remember my Dad owning was a dormobile:


I can still remember the caravan smell. It ended up getting crushed for having no tax.
