My dad only got around to learning to drive a couple of years before me so it's a short history...
Starting with the incredibly uncool Austin MiniMetro 1L in a weird orange/red.
Followed by an Escort Diesel - before anyone thought of sticking turbos in cars. My god that thing took some winding up!
There was a Rover 214 involved for a while I think and then he redeemend himself with an Alfa Romeo 155. My God that car was cool - somehow having not a single flat surface inside or any cup holders seemed wonderfully petrol-head. Of course, in reality, it was a right pain!
Then went on to a series of GTVs and now has an GT.
(yes, he's a bit addicted to the Alfa thing. That and he gets a big discount through work...)
