Started in a morris 1000 all stripped out on local tracks/fields at about 6 years old with the local farmers son, maybe 1965 as well as driving all sorts of farm 'things'. Drove forever since, but only took a driving test in 1989, passed, obviously, then my bike test which I also passed. I also raced motorbikes from about '65 'scramblers', Enduro, road racing solo and sidecars etc all through till I got married. When she found out I hadn't any driving licences, only international bike racing licences, she went ape so I took my tests!! Motorbikes and off-road were my passion, it was only when I got married that cars started to figure in my viewpoint.
Mind, I didn't get a passport till I got married either, which hadn't stopped me driving a truck and trailer full of race bikes and people over to race sidecar at Assen one year .. and 'a few' visits to France for Enduro and Motocross racing .. Customs were easier to get through back then!
So maybe 52 years driving, but only maybe 30 years legally ...
I used to be a bit of a twunt ..
