A Pic of The Car That First Turned You Into A Petrolhead?

1981 Ford Fiesta Supersport by GoldScotland71, on Flickr
Not that exciting but my mum had one when I was about 5 and it was the first car that I totally loved. I was soo gutted when she sold it.

My Nan really got me into cars. When I was a kid we used to go and see her virtually every weekend and she would take me and my sis off to the shops. She would always allow me to choose 1 matchbox car - in the end I had boxes and boxes of them.
Ford Cortina
Dad had a mk3 and a mk4 but he used to let me go and play in the mk4 as I was a bit older then. I used to pretend I was driving it!

Uncle had one of these and used to take me out in it, he bought it for my Aunt (He had a 3.0 Ford Capri) but he used to love hooning about in the MG Turbo. I always remember him saying "It doesnt like sitting below 50mph"

And then for me 1.9 GTi - As in my own car which turned me deep petrol head as it was always breaking down, with no money to fix it I very quickly realised I should fix it myself and did, learnt a hell of a lot.

Having also seen some other people's pics, definitely the Lambo in Cannonball Run - and those 2 women! yeeeehaaaa!
