phawley Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 passed my test early 70s. at the time I owned a reliant regal , having driven this for some time ,when I decided to take driving lessons to get a full licence my instructor was sure someone was winding him up because I was so confident having driven the reliant and held motorcycle licence for years. my first "proper car " was an austin a 30 which cost me £5!! I was the same I drove Reliants on the motorbike licence and took just two lessons before passing my test first time, the instructor said he didn't have to teach me to drive, just how to pass my test.

Alcoblog Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The "full" German version of the sticker certainley seemed to carry a certain kudos amongst the greener motoring fraternity. I often wondered if the antithesis to it was a 2.8 Capri driving around somewhere with a sunvisor bearing the ledgend "Atomkrafte-Ja Bitte" Ironc really as the 2CV ceased production due to emission regulations and the poor working conditions of the mainly foreign workers!

horribleblob Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ok smartarse... Yes it was! I was merely trying to use some kind of made up Anglo/Germanic language so lesser intellectuals on SF may have got a gist of the meaning! And don't think for one minute that we don't appreciate it.

Mr Bloke Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yes it did l married in 1964, think l drove it for about 3 years before then. Then sadly your memory is inaccurate. Car registration letter prefix began in 1963 with 'A', 1964 with 'B' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
