Ford Fiesta, and the bloke that taught me was called Ray.

As I was pulling out of a junction yesterday...this old car (with no roof) came past, and then man driving had to stick his arm out to tell people he was going left. It must be a pain going round a roundabout  

I learnt to drive in a Mercedes something or other. The little ones with the steep bonnet. 

It was purple if that helps?  

I was waving  

Oops.  

Nissan micra.

We had to do a waving motion to tell people we were slowing down honestly this was the early 70's.  We only had to do them for the test we never used them in R/L.

How strange 

It does vaguely ring a bell though Squiggle. Although I don't know how....as I only took lessons/passed my test about 6 years ago I must have seen it on TV  

My car was like yours squiggle 

My dad still does that sometimes...and that circular motion with the arm for left turns.

A Triumph Toledo?

Same body.

BL weren't it  

A Nissan Sunny in a dodgy shade of burgundy red.

Could have been worse I suppose.

We used to go up to Ide Hill and all around the Weald stopping off for cream tea or ice cream.  And my instructor, Tony, used to smoke a pipe.

He was a lovely old boy.
