I found that with driving lessons, one lesson felt fantastic and the next terrible. It would alternate like that. It sounds to me like you and your driving instructor were having a bad day, maybe give it another whirl and if he's still a grumpy sod switch to another instructor. I had driving lessons...

I'll get some photos...and see if I can upload them tomorrow

Hi there, thank you all very much for the advice; I have been busy with work, so I appologise about the late feedback.

Can you get a steering wheel lock that will fit onto the thin origional Moggy 1000 steering wheel like the ones you can ...

In the future, cost permitting, I would like to refit the interior of my Minor 1000 (pictured below), as the vinyl, carpets, parcelshelf and roof lining have not been finished to the same standard as the rest of the car! Upon browsing the internet, I found a company which sold 'duotone' vynle seat c...
