My first car was this gorgeous little Fiesta:

I was given it to share with my brother when I was sixteen by my Great Auntie Peg, so that we could learn to drive in it. I passed my test first time in it and became the taxi driver for all my friends at school as I was the first to pass my driving test in my year.

And then, having had the Fiesta for four years I decided it was time to move on to something bigger, and more importantly, faster! So I bought an Astra from my uncle, who in turn had bought it from my parents.

...But unfortunately, 3 months after I got the car it was stolen, joyridden and came off second best against a brick wall :o(

And so I brought the Fiesta out of the garage, got it back on the road and drove it for another year.

Then I decided it was time to move on again, and having saved hard from my year out I went out and found the perfect car, my new little baby (see left).

And now I have sold the Fiesta :o( but I am more than content with my new girl racer car, which is going to help me kick off my motorsport career!

And finally, one day I want to own a car like this.

And I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at one of these!

(Hence MiniF1... geddit?)
