I had a c reg VW polo as a 1st car..bought it off an old fella it had the steel rims sprayed gold, a reversing beeper and two wooden cupboards built into the rear arch recess , 1 litre 4 speed probably 50bhp when new and most of those had fooked when i got handed the keys.

My dad had a white Morris Marina with a black roof , thats how we rolled back in the day.

god,my parents had a simca(?),a morris marina coupe,a lada niva 4x4,mini pick up,

but then went jap in the mid 80's,toyota celicas(mini mustang),nissan 280zx.
then in the 90's they came into some money so bought a new bmw estate and have stayed along that route.
my dad now has a 1961 ford thunderbird as well as their bmw 320d sport-and his isuzu tipper!

The old man bought a mk2 rs2000 brand new, but specc'd it in beige

He still regrets selling it now as well! Especially as it was sold early 90's when it was worth fuck all, would be a different story now.
