First Car?
 
Kinda wierd incident this morning - almost got rear-ended at a set of traffic lights - I just heard screeching of tyres and in my mirrors saw a red VW sailing towards me! The motor came to a halt literally inches from my rear tyre!

I pull over to calm down/empty my pants - and it turned out that the car was my old pride and joy - my first car when I was 17!! sold on 9 years ago, I thought it would have been scrapped way before it nearly did me this morning!

I'm feeling lucky today! Anyhoo - whats everyone elses first car?? Any interesting ones? What cars did the 'older' patrons have?? And the Americans/Canadians on the board - What monster trucks did you guys get for ya first motors??

Droc.
