Martin Hackett: My Mum was a girl racer, my Grandads Granada, My Dad's Stanza and Bluebird and the Golf that went through the garage! S5E6
We're joined by Andy's friend Martin Hackett who has plenty of great stories to share.
His earliest car memory is a Ford Granada belonging to his Grandfather, who used to drive down from Scotland to see him on the South Coast, then take him back again to spend the school holidays.
His Mum drove a peppermint green Mk1 Fiesta Sport, and was a bit of a girl racer.
His Dad has Nissan Stanza's and Bluebirds, and van he used for work.
Later on his Mum bought a brand new Yugo 45, and then a VW Golf Mk2 which Martin had a bit of an incident with involving a garage!
Later on, as a bit of a bonus Martin discloses how he and some school friends had shares in a car when they were 14 or 15, and they would drive it to nightclubs, and they even got jump started by the Police one night when it failed to start!!
