I learnt in a classic austin metro, driving school had two cars one instructor, school had a spare car for when the Other metro broke down,

I believe he is now running one Nissan micra and has for many years.

Evoque would have been nice with power steering and an engine that didn't have it's own mind.Very Happy

Pure TD4 5 door, fuji white, ebony interior, Pan roof, Front fogs, spare wheel, privacy glass, towbar and black roofrails.

RE: Quoted Evoques for a Driving School today

Well I learned to drive at the ripe old age of 23 long after I got a licence to drive ships! I learned at BSM in the centre of Glasgow in various forms of Ford Escort, Mks 1 & 2 IIRC, there was no such thing as dual control in those days or DSC/EBM/ABS in fact I think even wearing seat belts wasn't compulsory back then in 1978! You lot get nannied around now with dual control cars and all the fancy electronic toys that even driving school cars have. After I passed my test, about 2 years later, I went on to do IAM with the same BSM instructor but in my own car - an MG Maestro - which the instructor hated as it didn't have his special rear view mirror, but I was dammed if I was going to pay to rent the driving school car for about £6 a lesson more................... those were the days when driving lesson cost about £3 a go!
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

I would have thought an RRE is a hugely intimidating car to drive for a novice, especially the width. Standby for scraped wheels and door mirrors!

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR
