My love of cars wasn't sparked by a Lamborghini, but a humble Renault
I’m sure that most of us who love cars happen to have developed that fondness because of one particular car in the family and one core memory hinged around it. I reckon that it usually stems from pretty early – those moments between learning to walk and writing your name – and it very often turns out to be quite mundane, at least on reflection. For me that would be the Renault Scenic. Ours was a Mk1 facelift .
Some of my earliest memories are of watching various Pixar flicks as we drove overnight to some backwater caravan park for a holiday, trying to watch through the glare of amber street lights outside. I’m sure my mum and dad enjoyed the silence they’d have got as a result, too. When all I really knew of cars was that they went brum-brum, those flimsy fold-out airline tables were an absolute game-changer.
