Most ridiculous/jealous of car with L plates you've seen.
Discussion
So on my drive to work today I noticed a lovely looking mid 90's green Nissan 200sx with L plates on.
It got me thinking is that:
1) Crazy ridiculous
2) Genius
3) Am I just jealous because I learnt in my dads F reg 1.3lx Nissan Sunny
I mean I see a lot of ridiculous cars with L plates on like new Mercedes ML's and just sneer with derision as it just seems ridiculous to learn in automatic behemoth like that. I mean what are you going to learn apart from maybe special awareness and a bunch load of bad habits.
But the 200sx was a 2 litre turbo rear wheel drive bundle of relatively powerful fun. I mean I don't know how you'd even insure a learner on it but what a great car to learn in.
Cars are my thing and I guess that car is from my childhood want list so I just don't see it for a learners/cheap way into motoring.
I'm confused... what will my son learn to drive in some 15 years in the future.

Nice, I liked that V6 MX-3 it was a little quirky, good for a first car in my books.
Out of the Nissan Sunny I worked hard and got a Suzuki Samurai 1.3 van body for my first car. It was awesome, went nowhere quick but was different to the clios and fiestas my friends had.
Maybe I will save my NA MX-5 for my son.

Yesterday I saw a Tesla Model S covered in Learner school advertising and often see S3/Golf R's with student drivers - Zurich is like a different planet though!
You'd have thought going EV they would have started with a Nissan Leaf and progressed to Model S. I really would like an s as a daily.ModernAndy said:
Not fast or cool or anything like that but I loved learning to drive in my mum's Ford Transit.
I think you may be on to something with a Ford transit or equivalent, that and then something mid engine rear wheel drive like an Elise on a damp day with no driver aids or comfort to teach you what a limit is...What couldn't you drive after that.
