I passed my driving test in a Mk 1 Escort, at that time it was a nice car, but nothing outstanding about it. My driving instructor was a chain smoker, the roof lining on the passenger side was yellow from ingrained nicotine I got 10 cigs down me on a driving lesson, and was not a smoker at the time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1st ride was a '62 GMC short-step P.U. ....3 on the tree w/ a non-synchro 1st gear...which I roasted one night. Had the only 2-speed manual in town after that...even took it skiing in that condition. I passed my drivers test in '78...in a '77 Honda Civic (my Mum's car).... 4-speed manual w/ a 1200cc lump under the hood... same color as this, but w/ a left side drive... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
