I learned to drive in a Ford Thames tray truck which was my old man's at the time. Mum had an early 60's Mini which I was "sneaking" around the block by the time I was 12 or so. I owned my first car at 12, which was a 1958 Star model Customline that I bought from an uncle with money I'd saved from my paper rounds and various other odd jobs. -- Regards, Noddy.

Was it an automatic Nod? Reason I ask is my mate's oldman had a manual Star model with the 273 (I think) V8. He was able to borrow her,..and at the lights, he'd put her in 2nd, bring the revs up to about 2500, slip the clutch by slowly raising the pedal. Very few cars back then (1970) could beat the old girl,...not good for the clutch! The autos were 290 odd cubes? Jason |
