learning to drive
« on: January 10, 2011, 05:23:28 PM »


I was helping teaching my Nephew's to drive at the weekend in an old metro.

Here's the clip

Music is by a band I used to be in....

It was fun, but there's something a bit unerving being driven round by a 10 year old :D

It was comical seeing this car carreening round a field with the drivers head barely coming over the dashboard.

I'm feeling very nostalgic
That reminds me of how I learnt to drive on my dad's farm

That's the usual state of British roads anyways. Good start for what's to come, lol

Well the car has retired so it's their's to abuse although we have asked they try to look after it. 

Yes some handbrake pulling but generally on a wet field with only 59hp it's best not too touch it too much unless you like going very slow!
