My first car was an MG Midget which was driven with far too much enthusiasm and absolutely no talent as you would expect of any 17 year old. After 6 months, the boot lid was the only panel that had not been dented. I then progressed to a Triumph Vitesse which survived in slightly better shape, but I still look back at my time with the Midget with huge fondness as it was what gave me a first real taste of the freedom that a car can give you.
