My first car back in 74 was a Morris traveller with a huge 998cc engine !
It was about 15 years old and cost me the princely sum of £15.
At that time I still hadn’t passed my test so my mum was using it till I did.
Passed my test and then went straight to tell her the good news.
After a couple of hours my mum was most disappointed to hear me ask for the keys
as I wanted to go pick up my wife from her work.
Drove about 6 miles before I came to traffic lights and then realised I was driving alone !!
Since I had passed my test on her birthday we decided to take a run out and she asked
if we could also take her mum – no problem.
Her mum then made the most memorable comment when invited – did I have a licence to drive in her dark ??
That traveller did sterling service taking us all over the country, even if a tad slowly.
I then replaced it with another traveller which had the most annoying habit.
Whenever I went to the scrapyard for parts – it broke down !
It did this 3 times and I reckoned it was telling me something I didnt want to acknowledge !!
