    I knew someone working as a mechanic and he advised me to buy the car.
    Guess for how much £50.00 in 1980, with road tax and 9 months MOT.
    What a bargain?
    Tell us about your first car.

    VW Golf. Almost new (1 very brief previous owner). Rock solid car but unexciting (i.e. didn't have any GTi bells and whistles).

    My mechanic friend was a mechanic with a top company at Poland Street close to Oxford Circus.
    Once he was repairing Graeme Souness car (spot) which he was very proud of doing.Graeme Souness
    was a manager in Portugal then.

    My auld fella had one of those!

    With the 'safety' feature of the big circle of plastic covered foam in the middle of the steering wheel and the clapperboard speedometer <laugh> they don't make them like that anymore.
