Your first driving experience

Chryslers 318 V8 was bullet proof!!!!!!!!
We tried to blow one up and couldn't do it!
It eventually seized after it boiled all the water away but it would not go bang.
Wrote a story on that on www.thegarageblog.com

They have meds "easier" on you than Thorazine that will treat that kind of behavior

My uncle had a Ford Squire estate which he would putter about with greyhounds in the back. It was a truly woeful vehicle with a mousetrap trigger clutch on it and no travel whatsoever. I was about 12 when I drove that.
About six months later, I drove my gran's Ford Cortina 220 "austerity" model which compared to the Squire was the easiest thing in the world.

Here I am 20 years later and I would love to get my hands on a Mk1 Cortina again.

My first driving memory was sitting in my Dad's Ford Cortina in the driveway of our home in Colywn Bay in around 1967/8. I remember it as if I was driving, but as I was about 4 at the time I think that bit must have been a dream

The first real driving I did was in a Morris Minor on a Slough trading estate. Not yet old enough to be on the public road it was a good place for my Dad to teach me how to drive. Saved a lot of time & money when it came to lessons.

My first driving was on a Daihatsu diesel, drove it on the road after a friend explained me basic technique for driving while then he navigated me. It surprised him that I can learn driving that fast.
I can't remember exactly when did firstly sit in a car, if my memory serves me right the moment was at 10 yo when my friend asked me to join him accompany his brother, who was a salesman, driving around on his office's vehicle, a Katana. Sitting at the rear seat facing to the side on a small jeep was not nice, it's enough to give me feeling sickness.

Unless otherwise riding bike, when was young I like traveling on bus, going to and back from school on bus, together with a classmate.

Unfortunately I never had my driving cherry properly broken into since my dad never wanted me to touch his Audi S4 :
