White ford fiesta, 14 plate, it's a 1.1L and I bought 5 months ago. Before then, I'd aways driven work cars to get from one place to another and had gotten used to having 6 gears, my new car didn't like it when I tried to go into reverse at 70mph on the motorway the day I bought it!

XR2 black...

Perfected my fingering technique in that beauty... excellent

Found out it was used in smash and grabs about a month after I bought it. Excellent

Smashed into the back of a Merc when I dropped my galaxy chocolate on the the to college... bent down to get it and wack. Excellent...

Sold it... 2 months later police raided our house as it was found at the beach with a dead body in the car. I filled and sent my half he never done his.

Errrm... Excellent?

My first car was the Nissan micra (black & silver) thought it was so cool back then in the winter of 93 ...... unfortunately spat more oil out than I could back in ended up stranded between Dublin & Cork (Emerald Isle) for the best part of three hours not a pleasant time I can assure you. Needless to say I dumped her & moved on to a Toyota
