A 2 litre V4 as my first car //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/facepalm.gif The first car I had was a standard 8 but the big ends went so sold it, had numerous cars but the one I wish I still had was a Wolsey 4/44 in black. A model used by the Police back in the day. The most sporty was an MGB GT hard top, to thirsty for my liking and trying to fit 2 kids in the back on a hard bench seat wasn't easy.
