First car I had use of was a 1.0 Metro L.  My dad bought it for me to learn to drive in, but I preferred the looks of a Fiesta.  The first one registered in my name was a 950 Fiesta Pop Plus which I drove for 13 years and absolutely loved.  HWTHMBO learned to drive in it as well.  I've still got it - it hasn't been anywhere for about a year and is now a long-term 'project'.

My first car was a Fiat 126 650cc rear engine in grey reg HWD 911V. I even took my driving test in it (& passed)

I do have a picture but it's on paper & I don't have a scanner - I had a red one later on too.

I look at them now & wonder how I managed to get into something so small
