Writer's Block: My First Car

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't usually see these things, since I don't usually go through the home page. I normally just look at my friends groups.

My dad has always been rebuilding cars, as long as I can remember. Buying old cars, rebuilding and selling. (Hopefully at a profit, but I'm not sure if that really enters his mind much.)

I would help him, sometimes, a little bit, but I just was not all that interested in cars.

He ended up with an MG Midget at one point, and asked if I would like to help him restore it, and have it as my car when I got my license. "Sure."
I jokingly said I wanted every panel a different color. (front fenders, hood [bonnet], doors, rear fenders and trunk [boot]) He said sure, as long as I helped him paint it.

Before we got working on it, he traded it for a MG-B. That is the one I drove to school for my first year or so. (I would often drive my girlfriend at the time [Sandy] and her brother [Jeff] home after school. Yes, it was interesting having 3 ppl in a 2 seat car.)

After less than a year, he traded it for a Volvo.
