Passed my test, first time, in a Hillman Avenger, car I first drove was a MK2 Cortina when about 10, first car I had at 13 was a Ford 100e and then, at 14 a Fiat 600 which I have to admit to taking up the road a few times....

Everyone here knows i love my Cortinas but i also have a soft spot for Avengers. They were pretty good tough old motors in thier day. 8-)

I learnt the basics during my school days in an old Morris 1000 Traveller chasing Bullocks around a field owned by my mates Dad. Proper driving lessons were in a Mini 1000 Clubman (One with the rectangular front) and more on road practice in the girlfriend’s Mother’s Hillman Imp, with the totally useless heater.
