My dad taught me to drive in a Hillman Avenger, I remember kangarooing up and down the road because you needed legs like Geoff Capes to push the clutch on that thing. The Avenger went, and Dad ended up with a cream Metro. I crashed that, trying to overtake my mate. I managed to get past (IN A METRO!), flick him the Vs, then rear-ended the car in front. The Metro concertinaed; the other car had a tiny dent. I had to call Dad from a payphone and admit what had happened. For years, the bonnet was held down with a bungee as he couldn"t afford to get it repaired. I failed my driving test the first time: the instructor was a wrong "un pencil "tache, 60 years old FAIL. Second time, it was blazing hot and I was wearing my Kevin Keegan short shorts, I had a female examiner and I passed.
