    "Bumble", as the Minor was known, was a lovely car and a family treasure. It had belonged to my Grandfather who had previously had a black split screen example, and I remember him selling that and going to the garage with him to collect the white replacement. When he died some years later my mother took over the car and, very bravely, later allowed my sister and me to learn to drive in it. "Bumble" survived those experiences somehow and spent a quieter time in Bath with my parents. Sadly she had to be sold, and we learned later that she had her roof removed and was made into a convertible, only to be written off in an accident soon afterwards.

    Perhaps you should have parked it elsewhere...

    First car I ever drove was an Austin 1100 that belonged to my Mum, then a Morris Marina 1.3 Coupe.

    The first car I owned was a 1985 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6L. It was a four-door saloon in midnight blue and only had four gears.

    My first car was a 1965 Corvair Monza. Black with red interior. I bought it from my boss in 1971 for $300.00. It was in really good shape. Not for long however! I used to scare the Cr@p out of my friends getting that thing sideways, and usinng the sidewalk curbs fors turning assistance. alot of fun!
    May the forza be with you

    My first car was a sister to this, and by the way it was one of the first examples of Hybrid motoring. How come? You would ask, well it had a whole in the floor so if I didn't want to pollute more than necessary it could be driven a la Flinstone :

    Sadly I had to get rid of her because I could not pay the insurance anymore.
    There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!
