FROM VICTOR TO VOLVO BUT NARY A FLASHY CAR IN SIGHT

What was your first car? It was a yellow and white Vauxhall Victor. It was second-hand and I thought it was pretty flash, although I put a few dents in it very early. I drove it extensively. It was quite reliable but it would break down in places like Kempsey, where I spent the early years of my life, and it would generally break down on long weekends when I'd be at places like Crescent Head. But I liked it despite its unreliability and its aversion to water. And starting.

Bugger me, I have had just about it with Bugaboos and pramzillas in general.
