After doing all my driving lessons in a mk2 Nissan Micra my instructor changed cars the day of my test into a mk2 Vauxhall Corsa, scraped through the test as the micras turning circle was probably better than a black cab! |

A Peugeot 205 gr with denim seats, yes denim seats. Anybody know what Peugeot was thinking when they came up with that idea for seat fabric? |

Can't remember my test car to save my life, but my Dad was a Superintendent Engineer for the county's sewage treatment plants, at the main place they had a series of private roads so he taught me to drive there in an old Ford Pop with just three forward gears. So after that it was half a dozen lessons with a tutor, the tutor's quote was 'I am teaching you to pass the test, not drive' then through the test.

The tin foil wonder! I remember my dad having a few of those, I also remember having to get out and walk up a steep hill in one because it didn’t have enough power to get up with 5 people in it😂 |
