My first car, Margaret-I learnt to drive in it and passed my test(1959?).
Cost me £7 and my father made me save up to pay for it.
Children used to run alongside cheering me(embarrassing for a 19 year old) and the problem was if I was on a hill I couldn't accelerate away from them!
No indicators, no heater, no starter motor, crash gear box.
Gremlin- the Trough of Bowland- the brakes were'nt up to that, turned it over at the bottom of the hill! The girl wasn't amused.
The Highway Code was short and sweet then.
