My first driving experience was when I drove my fathers Ford Granada 2,0L Ghia (my.83-84). Great car! Wood dash, comfortable seats and lots of luxury goods. I drove circles in a big parking lot untill everyone inside started to feel sick. I think I was 15 years old back then.

I passed the driving test in a Toyota Avensis (my.2000) which belonged to the school. I hated that car. The smell of cheap plastic inside and the dull exterior colour (dark green).

By the way my father passed his test in a Toyota Celica! It was driving instructors personal car. Not many of those cars existed in 1970's Finland.
