"First Car :D"

Today is a happy day, I now have my very own car woooo. Got myself a 1.1 Saxo - good nic, except a non functional sunroof - not like it would get used anyway. Not passed my test yet though, just waiting to take the practical - passed my theory yesterday. Was fairly surprised with my insurance got it for £685. Just can't wait until I pass the test now argh.

So aye, What was your first car and what are you driving now?

Escort
Fiesta
Fiesta
MGB GT
Rover Metro GTI (Brought this from Tony)

Peugeot 206 Convertible.

I'm guessing one or both of these used to be the car on front of the SR magazine?

Has anyone here ever considered purchasing a hybrid car?

A mate had a Volkswagen Corrado G60 some years ago -- 'twas a superb machine.

I was going to humorously guess the Golf in the background, but someone has beaten me to it.
