What GTO was it you had? My engineer has one in his garage that hasn't turned a wheel in 5 years. He drives a very camp mini but trys to slag my car because he owns that. It is in good nick in his garage to be fair.

 

How was the GTO ?

First car I drove was my Dad's MK 1 Ford Cortina. I drove it about a mile. Didn't drive another car for over 2 years after my first attempt.

Rover Metro 1.1

Rover Metro GTi 16v

Renault 5 GT Turbo

Renault Clio 182 (second ever brand new car)

Considering how long I've been driving (22 years now) that list is pretty small compared to some - however I had the GTTurbo and the 182 for 16 years between them. No matter what you may think of Renault they've built some fantastic hot hatches over the years.
