I had lessons in a Mini, took the Test in the same Mini (1976) and bought...a Mini.
I am still amazed that on the second lesson I was asked to book my Test due to the delay in appointments.
The Test came up at lesson 14...and I passed.
I was lucky. I certainly wasn't safe on the road for another year, or was it ten. It took a long time to dissipate the boy racer in me.
