• What car did you learn to drive in? 3 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Prompted by the 2CV thread, wondered what car you learnt to drive in? My instructor's car was a red Datsun 100A (don't see many of those now). I passed in 1976 - 1st time of course! Was n't allowed to practice in Dad's car (1976 Alfasud) so the Datsun was my only learner vehicle.
• Really that bad? Maestro 27 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  'Red Robbo' build quality. Antediluvian 'A' Series 1.3 litre engine. 1.3s are surprisingly horrible to drive - worse than you would ever have imagined. Are you being a bit harsh HJ? I learnt to drive in a Maestro, it was more "fun" to drive than the Pug 405 that replaced it.
• Insurance for test driving cars 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  I'm looking at buying a used car & wondered about the insurance i would need for test driving. If i were selling a car for a reasonable amount, i would want the person to be fully comp. So, my insurance company weren't too competitive about insuring me fully comp for any car. Any other ways round this?
• Other drivers 3 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  There are only two kinds of drivers on the road that you see: the morons, who drive slower than me; and the maniacs, who drive faster than me. Doesn't everyone operate on this principal? ;^} You dont get to see the third kind, those sensible intelligent paragons of driving virtue go at the same speed as you, as you neither overtake them nor are overtaken by them ;-) ~R
• Driving Test changes 21 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  I noticed that Alvin took the driving test in 1957, some 22 years after the tests introduction and I wondered what the main differences between the 1957 test and the current one are? I remember hand signals being phased out in '75, the year I took mine and I know that the current test has a written paper, but what else?
