Mum's 1976 Mini Clubman Estate and the weather was appalling!

My oldest son took did his in our 110 Defender, it did look rather out of place in the test centre car park!

In 1969, my Mum’s Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible in Saffron Orange. (The car, not me!) So good was.the turning circle that the 3 point point turn was a doddle.

A 2006 Seat Leon 1.6, possibly the worlds most boring car.

It had less than 100 miles on the clock on my first lesson, when it was belted into a curb and reversed into a brick wall.

I did my car test in a Fiat Uno, it must have been 10 years old at the time and it showed. It did the job though.

Bike test, I can't remember, maybe a CB500, utterly dull, but felt very powerful compared to my 125.
