there are much better to drive then a ford fiesta (which is my instructors car) i have seen 4 other moggy drivers in the preston area and all of them waved and honked there horns so they seemed nice

Welcome! Good choice if I mght say so! Why not get some L plates on the Morris and learn in that.
I learnt in mine with no lessons (some time ago)

You shouldn't block the rear window. Tie it on the rear bumper with string!

I used a magnetic one on the bootlid when I was learning.

I learned to drive in mine and I think it has made me a better driver. Btw I just cable tied my L plates to the front grille and back bumper. With a name like hotrodder13 I hope you are planning on doing some naughty things to your car

Yes, come on hotrodder, you're of an age where techno stuff is second nature, so lets see some photo's of your moggie. And welcome, you'll find this a very friendly site.

Have you tried ringing Footman James? I'm 18 and passed my test this week. I'm insured with them for £580 third party, fire and theft, you have to be a member of the MMOC or they wont insure you. Its probably alot more than what the older members of this forum are paying but I thought it was very reasonable for my age as its half what my mates are paying on their modern cars. Also you dont need a radio and lots of speakers! the engine is music to the ears
