What was your first car and what did you love or hate about it? What would be your dream car?
Transcript
00:00I've been driving since 1983 and my first car was a Saab V4. It was nicknamed the Batmobile
00:06because it looked like the Batmobile and it was blue. And what I really liked about it,
00:12apart from the column gear change, which is a little bit of a challenge, was that it had heated
00:17seats. And I don't think many cars at the time had heated seats. My mum's Mini Metro is a nice
00:22white one. I didn't think it went over about 40, 50 miles an hour. My mum used to drive it,
00:27so I gave it a test run when I was about 17. I kind of got my eyes on a Maserati. I kind
00:33of like the idea of one of those, but the older you get, the more practical you've got to be.
00:39You've got to think about taking things to the tip and that kind of thing and being able
00:43to have seats at the back that fold down so that you can get rubbish in the back to go
00:48and recycle. My first car was a Vauxhall Combo van. It was my granddad's van and then I drove
00:54it. Probably the worst thing about it is the roof started to leak and the suspension broke quite a lot.
