nThe first car that I ever owned was an Italian Fiat. My late husband used to be very fond of vintage cars and it was he who gifted it to me.

I must confess that though I loved it a lot, my car gave a great deal of trouble. It was really difficult to find any spare parts for it, and we often had to push it to give it a start.

But that said, I had a lot of fun times in it. I remember a time when I was all dressed up, and in high heels, when the car brakes failed. My husband was driving it, and I had to drop off something, so he advised me to jump off. That I did, and while he took a couple of rounds, I actually had to calculate my moves till I was able to jump in again! What an effort it took that day to stop the car!

My Fiat stayed with me till the late ?90s, when I sold it. Maybe I would have been sorry to see it go, had I still been using it, but unfortunately, it had long been lying idle by then!
