car you sat your test in

[take5]

Mine was also a hillman imp.

I failed my first two attempts at the driving test. My dad wouldn’t let me near his car, so my only driving practice was when I had a lesson. I was paying for my own lessons, so didn’t have them very often.
Nowhere near ready for either test.

The day after my second failure, frustrated and more than a bit angry, I borrowed £100 from the bank and bought my first car. A golden/ brown hillman imp.
Total banger, but I didn’t care. I just needed to practice.
My mum was a real star and we went out every night for 30 minutes or so. Just doing three point turns, reversing etc etc.
Soon I had it mastered!!!!!

Sat the test for the 3rd time in that Hillman, and sailed through.


Ps , there was another Hillman imp in my town. The reg was DOC 999. I sometimes wonder if that plate ever made it to Harley Street.

I passed my bike test on this in 1985. Part two of the test only. I took the Sidewinder' off the moment i got home obviously! Still only just getting around to taking car driving lessons.
