My first car was a 1976 Vauxhall Cavalier which was orangey yellow which I bought in 1988 and at 12 years old it had less than 20,000 miles on the clock and looked like this.
It got written off when an estate agent chatting on his mobile while re-tuning his radio slammed into my stationary vehicle. I suffered back and chest injuries - no headrests and airbags in those days - and the car ended its life banger racing.
First bike was a Honda 125 that appeared in the garage one day when I was about 19. When I asked what it was doing there my boyfriend said his friend Hugh wanted to buy a guitar from him but had no cash so they'd done a swap. The boyfriend had no interest in bikes so I learned to ride it. Hugh went on to buy a Ducati, the boyfriend went on to own a 1967 Mustang Fastback and trained as a pilot. I bought a Vespa as my second bike!
