Hey everyone, there's been a new addition to my family! I'm so happy I just had to tell you all! biggrin.gif She arrived with no problems this morning at about 9:20 and my friends have already been over to see her. Once I thought I didn't want a Citreon, but now I've changed my mind! She's sitting out on the driveway, in pristine condition, just had a full valet inside and out, new set of tyres, and a full tank. 'S' reg Saxo, 8 years old and 30,000 on the clock. I love her so much! *mwah! hugs & kisses!* smile.gif


P.S. This is my first ever car, so it's an even bigger occasion!

exactly you've got to name a car. Mine's called Lady Penelope or Penny for short. That's because Skoda key's all have FAB written on them. My hisbands car, FAB 2 is called Virgil.

My first car was a Citroen 2CV called Freddie. Wow, he was full of character.

BTW, Gordan (and Sarah) Brown had a son this morning!

Aw, you will never ever forget your first car, matt!

Mine was an F-reg white Vauxhall Viva - cost my parents £250 for my 21st birthday in 1977 (a FORTUNE then!). She was quite tatty and had a rusty floor and a top speed of 60 - but I called her 'Snowdrop' and I LOVED HER...

*bittersweet memories*

I've just bought myself a new Citroen C4 Coupe and I love her too!!!!

Look after her, treat her nice and drive her carefully.

My 1st car was a VW beetle (1st time around). It was so old it had a reserve petrol tank! I called it Angus after Angus Young from AC/DC - was a bit of a rock chick backin the day cool.gif

We could have a poll tongue.gif

My first vehicle was a Morris 1000 van called Maurice. Naturally. Bught it for £250 with 90something thousand on the clock and sold it back to the guy I bought it from for £250 about 9 months later. Cheapest motoring I ever had!
