1988 nissan sunny with 96000 miles and still on the original clucth not bad for an instructor's car. passed a few years ago well 6th june 1990 it was raining i remember that much and you had to sit in the car and the examiner asked question's on the highway code no multiple choices then.

my missus had the best instructor's car fiesta xr2i 1991 she passed her test after 2 lesson's but driving 9 years on her own in a car on a provisional licence naughty naughty. oh and got a push start of a friendly policeman when her car would'nt start on a provisional on her.
put it this way she's squeaky clean now even sticks to speed limit's now.

Had a 1.4 red Corsa and then a black 1.6 Corsa with BSM.
Thought it was ace.

nissan micra diesel,passed first go with two minor errors.the assessor told me to head back to the test center after just 15 mins an i thought i'd failed!!wanna do the advanced test one day.

1974 Sidcup (south London)in an Austin 1100 - like the one John Cleese drives in Fawlty Towers! They were great for doing hill starts because they used to 'sit back' when you had the clutch held just right!

Passed in 1988 in the same Nissan Sunny as Endoxr4x4...but I passed 1st time!! lol

My lessons were in an Alpha Sud and a Toyota Starlet. I took my test in Bootle, in 1989, in a diamond white xr3i. All was going well until a dog ran out in front of the car and I stopped (perfect emergency stop) and the Instuctor told me off!!

Those that know me will not be surprised to hear that I gave as good as I got. The conversation went roughly thus:

Instructor - you should not have stopped for the dog.

Me - I'd slam on for a bird mate, I'm not killing anything!

Instructor - The car behind you has shunted you from the rear because of it.

Me - His own feckin fault for being so bloody close in the first place!!

Instructor - the children in the back have gone through your windscreen (it wasn't law to have rear seatbelts on back then)

Me - I wouldn't have bloody kids in the car, I hate them - crawling squawking sh!t machines!! Have I failed then??

Instructor - lets just go back to the test centre.

Me - *put my foot down*

He was white by the time we got back to the centre

I've not taken it again since.

Ahem... ALFA Sud

What test is this then?

Don't tell me you have to do a test for this driving malarky. we're turning into a Nanny State! When does this test have to be done by?

Thought it was bad enough that you have to buy your own screwdriver to open and start these cars that are left on the roadside for us to use, Im not an electrician you know.

A God Dam Micra. Shame of it.

Micra I got a cancellation test DEC/95 instructor named Brian had 2 lessons passed 1st time No minors. Examiner Mr Adams wallasey test center. changed brake pads on micra after test F.O.C (brake squeal) worked in garage at time..

Yeah, just realised my mistake! It was stupid o'clock in the morning and I'd been doing some legal stuff so phonetics were in my mind. I do apologise most humbly Sir

Dream to drive Craig! If I do end up taking my test again, I'd have one again! The driving instructor was a feisty little redhead, probably mid 30's. I wonder if she is still as feisty today

1978 Chrysler Sunbeam 1.3. A real rot box, both wings stuffed with newspaper and plastic padding.

I think mine was a micra i really cannot be 100% sure

brilliant car!
