First Ever Car You Sat in / Experienced
- Thread Starter vroom
- Start date
To the best of my memory, the first ever car I sat in was Mahindra cut chase petrol jeep. It was 4-wheel drive, with 3 gear leavers.
I learned driving during the summer vacation at the end of my 5th std. That again in a Mahindra CJ 500. I was pretty decent driver by the time I was in 6th std. I still remember the satisfaction I had when I drove from Mysore to Ooty (a route with 18 hair pins) during the summer vacation at end of my 6th Std. Those days I used to drive Fiat & Ambi with hand gears and I still love hand gear! I learned to ride the cycle when I was in my 10 std![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
When I was doing my +2, I learned to ride a bike and Yamaha RX100 was my first own bike. When I was doing my first year of B.Sc. I switched over to Bullet, in parallel started driving heavy vehicles. My first heavy vehicle was a TATA bus. The real on rad experience came with TATA 608 truck. I have driven this with a full load of tiles (and it is not easy). Then by end of B.Sc, we bought an M800 and a WagonR 4 years later.
I have a heavy license (of course with badge) and I am planing to take explosive license too ( required to drive tankers). I wanted take an European license from here, but it is very costly in Denmark![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

The first car i remember sitting/travelling is my uncle's Amby, when i was in 2/3 std.
He He ..in fact one of my friend had couple of buses (Kerala is one of the states where private buses operators have the monopoly). Once the last trip is done, the buses (he had 3) will come to his office and we used to take any one of those back to home. This was very convenient for us as his office was in the middle of our route from college to home!
To add, my friend concluded his studies by Graduation and is a full time bus operator now with more buses added to the fleet!

Driving a heavy vehicle should be fun.
My first ride was in my dad's omni.
It was bought in 1989 for 1L. i was 3yr old then. Gypsy , my fav car was 25k more then.
I learn driving in that. we sold that in 2007.
It had 2 reg numbers, one was gcb 3219.
then now its running as pyol-c- 9879(re reg in pondicherry).
