My first owned car was an Opel Kapitan in 1958 at the mature age of 18.
Then went through two more Opels, a Rekord and a Caravan(early Astras).
These were all in Germany and the last one I brought back to UK when demobbed.
In civvy street I went through a White Zephyr Six(thought I was a Z car) and a Vauxhaul PBD Cresta.
Then various company cars, Ford Anglia, Opels, Cortina Estate.
Back into ownership with an Astra Estate that I took all over Europe from Denmark down to Italy, in November 1989 I took it through East Germany to the Polish border and back to Potsdammer Platz in Berlin for the breaking open of the Wall. I was on a visit to Berlin when they closed the crossing and split Berlin prior to building the wall.
Then followed a Mitsubishi Gallant, a Ford Granada hatchback and two Nissan Maxima QXs.
Then at 74 SWMBO purchased my dream for me and I became the proud owner of my 2004 Audi A8 3.0TDI.
Yippee!! I have arrived. OK it has taken me 76 years to get there but very interesting years they have been.
The really big thing is that I have now met some like minded folk here in the forum and now consider myself double blessed, a beautiful car and some very good knowledgeable friends.
