My first car was a Vauxhall Viva - didn’t even have a radio

Had a Vauhall Carlton GSi 3000 and that had a radio and a lovely looking engine bay:

a lovely long leg cruiser...

My first car was a 1964 Mk1 Austin Mini 850 and I loved it! it could actually get the speedo round onto the fuel Gauge......... Must have been at least...... 80-90mph! BMCs best A series engine, very smooth & willing to rev - all the later bigger capacities seemed a bit rough by comparison. The '77 Mini Pickup I had later was also an 850 & still had that wonderfully smooth 'revvy' feel to it...........

But ONLY on dry tarmac days!

Wanna get you wife to Chemo and back HOME on snow-covered-road days - well best NOT with a BMW, any BMW.
Go AUDI SQ5 on M+S rubber - and for sure you'll manage the run with zero issues - except for BMW cars/drivers 'STUCK'

Get anwhere reality in bad weather 'IS' an AUDI SQ5 - not talking about field trips here though I'd still go SQ5 on M+S​

Mind, an RS3 ain't bad either:

As a codacil........ I learned to drive (and started 'mechanicing') in my old mans Rover P4 105 - Brill car! Alloy Doors/Bonnet/Boot Lid, 105bhp smooth straight 6 with surprising performance, 4 speed with overdrive grearbox & amazingly powerful brakes! Sounds high spec - Even today!
Stuck on a pic - thats not actually it but it is an identical model & the same colour.
