« on: 07 May 2022, 20:21:10 »I failed my first test in a Maestro... The first and last BL car I have ever driven.I took driving lessons in a Marina. Thought it was great.
So did Sir Tigger. Oh, did you say driving lessons?
Yep took my test in my Dad's British Racing Green Marina pickup with no synchromesh between 2nd and 3rd gears, so had to double de clutch changing down!
The examiner said to my driving instructor after my test that I thought I was driving a tractor.
He didn't know about the lack of synchromesh and passed me.
My mate's 2.0 EFI one was fun, in an "I wonder which direction it'll go next time I hoof it?" kind of way, but I'm guessing it wasn't one of those...
