What was...

First car/vehicle you drove on a motorway? For me it was a Rover P5 coupe, on the M25, ....

The first time im sure of, I think it was a citroen cx estate (works car)  and it was the M1 (late 70,s)

Mini. M40. 

It broke down. Major panic and cos I wasn't with a break down service I pushed it off the motorway down an emergency vehicles only access. 

Hated motorways for years after that. Now I do 40k a year on them

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!

1981 mk1 Fiesta M62 motorway in 1988!

Nissan Micra, M40 in 1989

1989 MK5 Cortina 2.0 Ghia to the Hacienda in Manchester...........sorted!

1967 Ford Escort MK1, that I built to tarmac rally spec by myself (from the ground up) at 17 years and 1 month (test passed) on the M3 doing just over a tun ten past Fleet Services on the downhill section!  

Mad!  
Well it scared the willies out of me.

Looks quite cool to me. Did you ride the big dipper whilst you were there  

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    

Mk2 escort on the m25…
When you got upto 70 you knew you was doing it lol

Vauxhall chevette van on the M27 1989, in red with white panels, lowered, spax shocks, white 8 spoke wheels, ford escort 1.6ltr crossflow engine, modified propshaft, twin choke webber, single box cherry bomb exhaust and a goosed 2ltr E gearbox that used to jam up when you put it in reverse, eventually I cut a hole in the gearbox tunnel/carpet and carry a spanner so i could whip the selector cover off (4 bolts) and put it back in neutral, no seriously !! cf_emoticons__BangHead:, apart from that it was a beast

A 1973 Hillman Imp on the M5 in 1984. Magic little car!

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.
