What car did you pass your driving test in?

[500SAT]

austin metro vanden plas in 1991 . 5 weeks after my 17th birthday .

Then bought a mk2 escort for £200 , oh dear ! the rust ! the mushrooms growing in the carpet ! there is nothing like a very poorly handling rear wheel drive car after passing your test . of course i bought fat XR2 pepper pot alloys and tires for £300 so it was even more light and slippy ....

Its not the worse car I've driven, thats reserved for the Vauxhall Cavalier

Excellent car, after all one million reps can't be wrong can they?

Passed in a - Talbot Sunbeam (now there's a question; are there more Sunbeam Talbots left on the road than Talbot Sunbeams?)

Mk III Escort I think.. it was the instructors.

First car was a Mk II 2.8 Granada - £5 of petrol would get the needle off the stop to the top of the orange reserve marker

One of these (but not as clean as this one!)

My instructor guaranteed a pass or free lessons until I did. On the morning of the test, I had a lesson before the test and got everything wrong.

He shouted at me an said he'd never have put me in for my test if he'd known I was going to fu** it up like this.

On the test, I stalled, and overshot the entrance to the test station. Still passed first time! :bannana:
