March 1969 - going over the River Severn on the then new bridge which goes into Wales in the UK.
My cousin had recently bought an Alfa Romeo 1300 GTA (the lightweight alloy bodied job) and while I was over visiting he asked me if I wanted a spin - whoo what a car. I remember watching the tacho sweeping up to the redline in every gear except 5th - something no other car I had ever been in could do that!
It took me another 2 years to buy my first Alfa 105, after which I had another 6 over the next 20 years.
When I last spoke to my cousin, he still owned the GTA - probably worth a lot of money now....
