Yep, mine was my sister's hand-me-down Mitsubishi Colt. Was a few months before I could offically get a learner's so I spent all my spare time cleaning it, arranging my cassette tapes ready and buying smelly trees to hang off the mirror! :P

That one lasted about four months before it died, I then inherited a rather lovely Ford Telstar off a family we know whose elderly mother couldn't drive any more (well, I paid for it) lovely lovely car beautiful interior and I was very proud of her.... until the engine showed problems again then I was forced to buy my very first NEW car... which I still own and keep back in Oz. Very proud of that car and it was the first thing I paid off in full from a loan so am very fond of it

funny thing is though she won't be able to drive it yet - she's got to do the highway driving first! Anticipation is killing her lol

Yes I was thrilled! It was a very fetching '97 model VW Polo (1.0 litre engine), previously owned by a 70 year old lady. I had so much fun with that car We lived in the countryside so I could have been given a Robin Reliant and still been happy with it - anything that got me into the city!

Hope you enjoy your new ride

Yes, only to have it all quashed when I saw the battered blue 2CV sitting outside....

ETA This was nearly 25 years ago, mind you!

the excitement of getting your first car?

DD1 is itching for DH to arrive from the RTA and I'm almost as excited!
