Learner Driver
The car in which I first learned to drive outside the family home in Pinfarthings, Glos. WEA 242S was an underpowered Cortina 1.3L, pretty much the bottom of the range. Quite a forgiving car for a learner though, the clutch was kind to the novice and it took so long to get up to speed that there was little chance of exceeding the speed limit!
By a strange coincidence, a good few years later I spotted it outside the Haematology Lab at Gloucester Royal Hospital where I worked and it turned out that it was now owned by one of the girls who worked in the laboratory office. It was still in quite good nick, even the big patch of rust I spent several hours painting over one Saturday Afternoon.
