I never had a hot hatch ...:bigcry: ... in fact, when I was younger .. i rarely had a hot meal ! ... we had one school tie between 3 of us ... it was a case of ..first up ..best dressed !..... when we got holes in our school shoes, my mum would draw around our feet on an empty Cornflakes packet, cut it out and slide it inside our shoes ! we were good for another week ... or until it rained !!:bigcry:

My first car was a Hillman Minx i bought for a tenner, then sold it for £50 !!

I had a Ming Blue one - Y reg too. With the blue/black alcantara interior. Heated seats were such a luxury! Sold it for the csl.
