Following on really for the "First car" topic made me start to think of what was the most memorable car ?

 

Which Mini Classic to buy? Buying guide ...

 

We all have a lot of motoring experience and memories behind us, so what was your most memorable car, Loved it or hated it, or maybe had a great road trip in it?

 

I have a few, but one that sticks in my mind was a 1968 Red Mini. Jeez, that thing was a heap, but it went like the clappers and was great fun. The memorable part about this was how soaking wet it got inside if it rained; carpets were soaking, probably from all the holes in the floor! Minis were notorious for floor rot. The real memory of that car was driving back from Cornwall with only the handbreak !! yep, the master cyclinder had gone and I had no brakes. It was a bank holiday weekend, and there were no garages to be found open down there so areturned 150 miles on just the handbrake, scary as hell but a memorable experience.

 

How about you ?

The first car I drove after I passed my test was as a mini van delivery driver for a flower shop in Harlow,  I was amazed at how it went around corners, remember one day the girls making up the order for a funeral were late and of course that made me late getting to the house and they had all left so I ended up having to find then follow the procession along the road to the cemetery and hand the flowers over at the grave site, not good how embarrassing.....
