1976 in a J reg Hillman Avenget 1250. Passed first time but remember having a discussion with the examiner who advised me that I could have set off in second gear.
"Not in this car" I told him " it doesn't have enough torque".
Chers,
Tony

Fiat 128 driving school car in 1980. Parents had automatics.
Remember going for a lairy drive in Mum's 131 Supermirafiori later the same day - these ex-hippies with their easy going attitude to property, I dunno. Damned if I'd let my kids loose in any nice metal. Hypocrite? Moi!
