So, I saw a Stu.

And had I been 15 seconds ahead of myself I would have got to make him stop @ the Zebra crossing on Chiswell Street :)

Really? I find that a boot to a rear wheel on slippy roads/white paint is even more inconvenient than stopping........

Well after they have forked out however many tens of thousands on one of those petrol guzzling killing machines, they obviously can't afford to get the child an old banger, so they are just going to have to share the SUV-love.

I don't see what's wrong with learning in a bigger car. There is no point in buying a crappy small car to learn in just to fit in. I learnt in a five series with a rather panic-stricken father.

And I thought that it's a god-given right... Or is that just for the tabloid press? ;)

Teehee - Citroen 2CV was my weapon of choice :D Not one, but TWO whole cylinders (just like an SV), 602cc of throbbing power (not far off an SV), 0-60 in.... well, 60mph is being a tad optimistic (thankfully not like an SV) :D

For insurance purposes - the emerging driver (The flashing driver was clearly warning the emerging driver that there was an oncoming vehicle so be carefull :roll: yeah right)
For staying alive - you 100% of the time, no one else is going to look after you on the road.

I learned in a 2CV too! My brother managed to kill the yellow peril by actually rolling it! Shouldn't be able to, but the designer never met my bro!

I learned to drive in a 1951 S1 LandRover with no synchro on any gear between the ages of 14 and 17. You had to double declutch up and down the gearbox. I jumped from an hour's practise in that straight into a BSM Mini to do my test and passed. Before my test I'd been playing around driving 7.5 ton Bedford TK series army trucks for a few hours and about 30 minutes having a go at reversing a Foden artic round corners too. My dad first put me behind the wheel of a Morris Minor Traveller when I was 9 or 10 yrs old, by the time I was 13 he'd let me drive it 150 yards up the road to the patrol station, where I'd fill the tank from empty to full for lots less than a fiver then drive it home and into our tight driveway.

Like Sam says, don't judge.
