Talking of old cars, my first proper ‘new’ car, of which I’ve had only a few, they are normally third or fourth hand, was a Mk1 VW Polo ( RWX 566R). On Boxing Day circa 1975 it got me from Bradford to Skye in time to catch the 16:00 hours last ferry from Kyle of Lochalsh. Foot to the floor with 950cc all the way, apart from following the snowplough through Glen Coe.
I’m sure I was traumatised by the time I got to put my tent up outside the Sligachan Hotel that day. In the snow.
