First car I drove (before I was 17) was an old Metro around the farm where my sister used to keep her horses.
First car I drove on the road was my fathers original shape Freelander on my L plates when I turned 17.
First car I owned was a P reg Rover 216SLi (K-Series) just after I passed my test as it was ££cheap. Only lasted a couple of months before blowing up, so I bought a high-mileage Passat 1.8T 150HP which was cool at the time as everyone else had little 1.2 Saxo's/Clio's/Corsa's etc. It was know by friends as 'The Tank'. 'The Tank' was later remapped to 200HP.
The problem with my 200HP Passat is it was before Traction Control / ESP / ASR was standard, so it just lit the front wheels up at any opportunity.
