Linus27 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Mazda 323 in white after 7 lessons. My dad had lots of cool cars at his disposal and would come home in a different one each night. Some nights it would be some cool cars so I would go out in them with him. Stuff like Alfa 33 Cloverleaf, BMW M3, MG Metro Turbo, XR3i's, Citreon BX GT Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like Alfa 33 Cloverleaf, BMW M3, MG Metro Turbo, XR3i's, Citreon BX GT Turbo Yes, I only had 7 lessons with a driving instructor too. Although my dad didn't have multiple cars at his disposal he did let me drive his Hillman Minx on every opportunity, including driving us both to work every day, 30 miles there and back, driving down to Orpington in Kent and back a couple of times (no M6 back then), must have driven over 5,000 miles I reckon. The lessons were just to iron out my bad habits, like not using the mirrors, etc. Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best car my dad came home in for that was a Citreon BX estate. It was huge so perfect for practising in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I never had any paid for lessons with an instructor, I just had my grandad pick me up from school and I'd drive back, taking the back roads and practising manoeuvres on very steep hills that my 350z's handbrake would never have held on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
