\"Not<\/a>

Not exactly Geri’s first car but a good likeness all the same!<\/p><\/div>\n

What was your first car and why did you buy it?<\/b> My first car was a Vw golf, maroon in colour, 1.9 Diesel. I bought it as I’d just finished college and I had a few bob saved up for it. I was looking for work at the time and knew I had to be mobile.<\/p>\n

What did you pay for it? <\/b>I think I paid \u20ac5,000 for it.<\/p>\n

How did it change your life?<\/b> Being independent was the best advantage of owning my own car, not having to ask or depend on others to bring me from A to B!<\/p>\n

What was the longest trip you ever took in the car? <\/b>Probably a day round trip to Dublin or mayo. Never brought it outside Ireland, yet managed to clock up 30,000 miles a year driving around Irish roads!<\/p>\n

What was your best memory or most memorable moment in the car?<\/b> The day I got a pioneer radio, speakers and a 12 stack CD player fitted to it. It was so superior in sound compared to the old radio and having the choice of 12 cd with the touch of a button was fantastic, not to mention the sound from the speakers, it shortened even the longest of journeys!<\/p>\n

What was your worst memory associated with the car?<\/b> The worst memory was coming out to it one morning in Cork city, during the Jazz festival and seeing a big dent on the bonnet. Someone had decided to jump on it while it was parked on the street during the night. I was really annoyed and sickened !<\/p>\n

How long did you keep your first car?<\/b> \u00a0I had it 5 years or more, it never let me down, then my father bought it from me and the clock went back to 000000 after 300,000 miles – has to be a record !!!<\/p>\n
