It was a Vauxhall Corsa with an electrical fault that no-one could fix. I became an expert in roll-starting it off my parents steep driveway, just getting it to start in time before hitting the cars parked opposite. It had no power steering

I knew it was time to get a new car when I had to be towed off Asda's car park by my Grandad in his Jazz. And yes, I managed to bump start it on the tow rope as Grandad towed me uphill. Ahhhhh, those were the days

Me too, a 1979 Suzuki LJ80. Only a 797cc motor but the 4wd would get you anywhere in any conditions. It wouldn't get you anywhere quick but it didn't half rust fast.

Escort mk4. My parents went to buy a dining table and noticed a car in the corner and bought it for an extra £200 because they could.

That was the first of 4 escorts, including my grandads mk2 I foolishly gave away during university.

If I'm right I've now had 6 Ford's (4 escorts, 1 mondeo, 1 smax) , 1 corsa, one 309, and a s40.

If in doubt, just get a Ford. Realised I needed a new car mostly recently when I parked my mondeo in a Ford. The wet type.

A late 1970s Datsun Sunny 120Y.

I got it off my parents.

Great little runner, nothing went wrong mechanically, the only problem I had with it was watching the bodywork rust away. Two years later my parents got a deal from a garage, exchange a taxed and MOTed car and get £1500 off a second hand car, so as the MOT had less than a month left I gave it back to them so they got the deal.

A C plate Astra three door estate - pretty rare as it’s basically an astravan with windows. Sold it to upgrade then ended up buying it back three years later and was still going strong. Heck, it’s probably still out there somewhere - the damn thing was indestructible!

I had a red Vauxhall Corsa that cut out every time it went round a roundabout. Which is not good when you live in Milton Keynes! Ha ha

1979, my Dad's old car, a Wolsley 1885. A great car, oceans of room for sucking & fucking in front seats or back ones.

Vauxhall Astra

Absolutely loved it

When I washed it and my finger went through the wing causing a big rusty hole I knew it was time to say goodbye

Triumph Herald 1200 saloon. Such a lovely little car, really fun to drive too.

I was putting too much mileage on it. So swapped with my dad for his Triumph Dolomite, even more fun to drive!
