	I learned to drive in a Ford Anglia but I don't think it would do 60mph.

	Our first car was a Ford Prefect, bought with wedding present money. I well remember driving up a steep hill in heavy rain, and because the engine was using all its power to get up the hill, the wipers stopped completely!! :-( :-( I just hoped I was on the right side of the road. My friend had a pre-war Morris 8, and on very steep hills, all passengers had to get out and walk, otherwise the car couldn't cope with the hill. Happy Days :-)
