on to my sisters and then to our cousins .

I was 21 aswell

Never had any problems with it toyota corollas are a great car

the first vehicle I was insured on was my dads
toyota dyna its like a fishtank on wheels
but had some great memories in that van.

I was 18 when I started driving legally grin

1987 Fiat Uno... beige!!

It had only 4 forward gears and no power steering. Driving it was like having a full body workout, even though it was a small car.

What kind of car do you have? A silver onerolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Started with a Morris Minor at 13... Grew up in the counrtyside so were given cars to drive in a field.. What great fun the early eighties were...... When that perished we were given a Triumph Dolomite... which we cut the roof off with an angle grinder..... Homemade convertible...

First road car was a mini 25..... what a go-cart they were

My first car was a brand new Ford Focus.
I got a promotion in work with a company car and had to learn how to drive.
I did an intensive driving course in Westport and was on the road within a week.
3rd day I had the car, I crashed it in to my gate!
Oopps. doh
