The humble Ford D series

[fredm]

I did there was a small driving school in leyton cannot recall the name might have been estate driving school or something like that , the instructor was an old rocker DA haircut an all I used to do a 2 hour lesson once or twice a week in the evening that cost £10 per lesson this was 1976 or 77 cant recall, on each lesson we would end up in commercial road and get these seriously spicy kebabs from a pakistani cafe,I did a long day at north weald airstrip to get the reversing right I could not turn my head the next day having spent hours looking rearwards, happy days fredm

I went through with sleepy Jim Shanks in a Scania 80… but I remember Jim Faulkner and Caroline Claperton ( Kelly ) as well…

The first thing I drove after my test was a Ford D 13 11 say no more, it ended its life with us with a 16 14 engine in it… Hot Rod or what ?

Don’t like the look of those reindeer in the cab,I don’t think they could pull a sled as they their legs can’t be so long by the looks of it!! Cheers Bewick.
