Normans_Ghost Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Bill, I'm only 21 really, it's just that I've had a hard life. If I don't hear from Tom soon it'll be too late. HM's busy making plans for the weekend! Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I wish I wouldn't say them as well Norman. The only doubt over my lad going to AMMO's is the timetable for his new year exams. Provided the dates don't clash, I will most probably drive up to collect him then scoot across country to AMMO's. Thought we might then stay over somewhere to join AMMO for a curry and help him celebrate his birthday in a worthy fashion. Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV.

Edward Big Truck Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Had to take off my socks to count up the years since I passed my driving test Not enough digits - so it was off with Mrs Big Trucks socks - and got a result 40 Years ago for me - took the test in a Vauxhall Cresta with a 3 speed column change - those were the days ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 EBT, wasn't pink by any chance? I took my test in a cousins Austin 1100 driving school car when I went for the 3rd test. The first I failed because I had hair down past my shoulders (In 1964 this wasn't fully accepted yet),the fail was "wrong speed for prevailing conditions" - going to slow! ME! The second guy failed me for same reason, the failure sheet read "insufficient knowledge of Highway code" He must have asked me over 15 questions and only stopped when I got one wrong. The 3rd test saw me with short back & sides, a suit (first suit I'd ever owned) and in a driving school car. Test took about 20 minutes, 3 questions on HC and complimented on being a good driver. I wish I could have seen his face as I screamed away from the centre as he was getting into his next victim's car. All this and I'd been driving on the road in a TVR Grantura (MGA engined) since I was 15!

I.Mupferit Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 [misty eyed mode on] Ah the Vauxhall Cresta what a passion wagon that was 😬 and made all the better for that by column gearchange with bench seats. A veritable triumph of engineering showing deep design thought by the designers. 😬 None of this having to leap in the back malarkey......oh no. A deft sideways foot movement on the seat adjuster et voila ❗ acres of room in the front with no gearlever to pierce you in the nether regions at the wrong moment. 😬 [/misty eyed mode off] Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV.

Edward Big Truck Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Norm - pink indeed A sort of greeny colour as far as I can remember but it was a long time ago Brent - ah yes those were the days - bench seats = plenty of sliding room 😬.

She missed her train to Cholsey , I drove her home Nice lay by between Pangbourne and Goring (that loverly side road that now goes up to the Royal Berkshire shooting school) No home work got done that night Smile back on face 😬 When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!
