Do you think it was the car or your Ma?

A friends mum had the auto, a proper slush box on that weedy 1.3 engine. Apocalyptically slow.

Don't really know as ma never had issues with previous and next cars .

I used to quite like driving it as it handled well enough for what it was.

Mum had a 1256 hatchback that used to go through clutches at an alarming rate , needless to say that I spent many an afternoon laying on my back pulling gearboxes in and out

My first car was a Chevette hatchback

Mine was an Allaggro. Id have been cock-a-hoop to have had a Shove it. Even bubonic plague looks preferable if you've got rabies.

A friend still has his first car, & he even took his driving test in it! (in early 1983)
We’re both almost 60, he’s about a month younger than me

That's the same colour as mine, albeit a previous owner had bestowed mine with a hand painted chocolate brown Starskey and Hutch style speed stripe.
