    Driving instructor had a Colt.

    Not sure if I'd buy one, simply for that reason though.

    I learnt to drive my Mum's 2CV round a field when I was 12. On my 17th birthday I got in it and drove it to school.

    First car I owned was an original 1.8 Nissan Prairie which my parents gave me when they bought a new car. Great car it was, I could pretty much fit all my worldly possesions in it, it was reasonably speedy, easy to drive for such a big car, handled well thanks to knackered and very stiff suspension, and it'd even do 40mpg if I kept the speed down. In the end it just started to fall apart and I couldn't afford to fix it

    Datsun sunny 4 door rustheap

    Made a nice £100 quid profit outa it too that was before I'd taken lessons, then a Renault 19 1.4 TXE energy in met blue (lovely little car), then a Citroen XM (smaller engined one I think, can't remember) sold the last 2 before sitting my test.

    Got a 1.0L metro with no synchomesh, passed test while I had that, loved the old double de-clutching up hills in that, was my fist car that I properly drove on my own. But for someone who stands 6'3" it was a little small and I coulda done with removing the rear seats as no-one could get in them anyway
