When you've lived in london you're whole life honestly it's not that bad but I could understand why you may find it kinda confusing if you're not from there

My first car was a Renault 9 GTL. I scratched the bottom of the L off the badge so it looked like it said GTI. It went faster after I did that

A red 850cc mini, a basic one from '73, so it was quite old when I had it.

Less of a car and more of a go-cart-with-a-roof-on-it and makes smile every time I think of it.

I had one of these as my second car. The previous owner had put the escort rs turbo engine in it. It was an awesome machine. Wish I still had it but bits kept falling off it as I drove along.

Probably not, I wasn’t one for speeding around a McDonald’s car park trying to impress people. The electrician in work helped me fit a sound system. His son had the same car and had a big sub woofer in his spare wheel well and had to carry his spare on the back seat, I opted for 2 little subs, 1 under each front seat.

An old work mate had one of these for his first car, he used to bang on about having one but his dad brought him to work, 1 day he turned up in it. It was the biggest rusty piece of crap I’d ever seen and used to over heat for fun. This was in the early 2000’s.

After that be had a cavalier which was just as old and shit and the R5GTT.

As an ex taxi driver in a Ford Granada and then a Sierra and finally a Mondeo I understand the acronym , Fix Or Repair Daily.

Ford really got better with the Mondeo.
