WILF 48,748 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 A Morris Marina while I was learning then a Ford D series tipper when I passed !! …….i wasn’t old enough to drive the tipper at the time because you had to be 18 to drive a 7.5 tonner but f**k it, I drove it anyway and managed to avoid the cops…….thems were the days ! No power steering and you’d be stiff as a board after a day driving it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
