First one I personally drove and owned was a green mini traveller in 1969 - was great - held milk bottle in the door pocket without fear of spilling. When I think now I drove that wearing platform shoes! |

OMG Maggie - you have me ashamed. I knew where to put the oil in and the water. But as for tyres - no matter how I tried over the years I always ended up with less pressure than I started so I used to go to a garage where I got my petrrol and they would do it. |

Mine was an old Left hand drive Vauxhall Viva estate. Next was my favourite a left hand drive Citroen 2 cv complete with dutch hospital emblems on the doors. I add i was living England but picked them up cheap (for the obvious reason) |
