Ha! Can't even remember the full reg of my first car- only remember that it was G reg Ford Fiesta (sky blue, with suspension like a jelly!) Wrote it off by reversing it into a wooden post in a park & ride; bent the subframe = MOT FAIL!

Remember the replacement though- Red Peugeot 106 J987UOG (brilliant, because it was my student car when I went to the University Of Greenwich!!) Sat it in the garage for two years and was going to use it when the scrappage scheme came along, but my brother wrote off his motor and I gave it to him. Two years!! The thing had NO RUST, and passed MOT after re-inflating the tyres and replacing a side light bulb. Phenomenal.

Just realised that my family seem to write off a lot of cars! Hmmmmm....
