Fuddy-Duddy Clifford

So many A to Z Participants this year! WOWZER! Its quite overwhelming!

The April A to Z Blog Challenge has come a long way from its first year way back when. Its a great blog challenge and I've met so many awesome bloggers through this challenge and through Alex. It's always a wild ride and completely different every time.

Back to the Nostalgia Theme.

Something that makes me nostalgic and takes me way back, is my very first car I bought and owned.

I was so proud that I'd saved enough money to buy my very own second hand car.  I even named him!  Clifford, my MK2 Ford Escort was a bargain and I could wait to drive it!  

A couple of days into owning my very own wee car, I realised why it was such a bargain... It was only running on only 3 cylinders, which meant I had to avoid steep hills and going up certain roads, because it was only a 1300 to begin with. Clifford had pretty much no power.

That didn't put me off!  I was young and my motto was... "have car, will drive" and drive I certainly did.  I went everywhere in wee Clifford.  My Ford Escort was baby blue with a trendy vinyl roof and I thought I was the shizzle.  I even bought matching fuzzy car seat covers and put in a tape deck so that I could play my MixTapes.

Loads of fun was had in that wee car.  Clifford could even tell a few stories about the Drive-In...
