A green '83 Golf C (my first car). It was absolutely throwing it down, got wedged in-between two wagons, visibility was limited to say the least!

Did the run to Blackpool from Derby loads of times as a yoof. Loads of different mates in different cars. Amazing we all didn't die loads of times looking back on it

In 1988 I jumped in my Mk2 Escort and drove from Preston to Horsham on a Friday evening to see a young lady who I'd met on holiday. Id never been before, had no recovery, parents were on holiday (no back-up) and I didn't know where her house was!
A dip of the oil and I was off! The car was excellent, there and back without a heartbeat. The difference between the two Escorts was unbelievable!!
Popular vs Ghia, no contest.
