The first car I drove regularly was a 1990 50Hp Nissan Micra 1.0L. Supposed to be Mum's car, but she decided there was no way she was ever going to drive a manual transmission, so it was shared between my brother and I.
My first true car that I owned though was a 1984 VW Golf GTI MkII, one of the very first MkII's. I bought it from my Uncle in Germany, and imported it into the UK. It was a fantastic car, but very old, very used and eventually blew up on the side of the A5 near Milton Keynes. I didn't have it for long, but have very fond memories of it, including the time when one of the engine mounting bolts sheared off and the whole engine rotated everytime I put my foot on the accelerator.
