I passed my test in the Army, who taught me to drive for free, I bought an Austin Allegro and it never moved an inch (velocity joints) my boss a S/SGT made he guy give me my money back and I instead bought a Renault 14GTL and it was great but I rarely drove as the Military Police pulled up squaddies for anything and as we all had BFBO plates on we stood out a mile, which was handy also for Baader Meinhof
