Geri O Shea’s First Car

What was your first car and why did you buy it? 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. What did you pay for it? I think I paid €5,000 for it. How did it change your life? Being independent was the best advantage of owning my own car, not having to ask or depend on others...
