Woo hoo, passed my driving test. Four minors…and only got those because I panicked at traffic lights literally ten minutes before the end of the test…:cool:

Belated congratulations but well done.:)
When I read this at first I thought you had somehow managed to take out 4 vintage Morris Minors (Moggies = not cats and no insult meant to Moggy C)
Gosh its all serious then married bliss and kids and as they pass their test in an all electric (may be a small but safe nuke reactor or hydrogen cell in it by then) hovercar and laugh at you in a ‘Frog’ 106.
I did my original in my Dadโs โjustโ post war Beetle (no split rear window though) and my UK test a few years later in a new VW 1600 Beetle (primitive emission control tubes on carb even in those days) large rear window but same awful clutch and brake pedals at right angles to floor board. (never slipped back a fraction on hill start or any clutch control as Iโd been used to it since a school boy).
Pity I can’t afford an Advanced Driving Test in a Bugatti Veyron Sport:D
Well done again and I am relieved we (Jim – Lincoln 7 and I) never had to dig Wales looking for you.:)

Thanks guys,
Can’t wait til I have kids who grow up and learn. I’ll sit there as they take me out for a spin in their hovercar and say say “I learnt to drive in a 106.” to which they will probably reply “What mach could that do dad?” :rolleyes:

Lol thanks everyone. Inkworm, believe it or not that came very close…little s*** walked straight out in front of me on test. Thank God I was half expecting it :rolleyes:.
The feeling of freedom is amazing and it has opened up so many doors career wise for me now.
Seriously though, you see a little green 106 being driven around Worcester remember to wave hello :p
