Just be positive they don't like hesitancy when driving, I got 2 minor points for speeding in my test. But a m8 failed for constantly doing 50 in a 60 zone!  :-?

Thanks guys......

Its not PCV, Did that years ago. Its not HGV, Did that years ago. Its not Advanced, Did that years ago. It is in fact one of my ADI exams.

I'm looking forward to the exam, I actually like them for some strange reason. Finger crossed all the same. :)

I hate to agree, but you are absolutely right. I cannot think of why any normal, sane person would ever contemplate buying a Peugeot 206, unless they like to feel like they are driving over pebbles all day in a tin can. Disgusting horrible little car.

Now, can you teach people in a 2.5v6 Omega CDX Auto Estate? I don't see why not.........

Post by: tunnie on 09 August 2006, 17:23:51

There are always people out there who only want to learn in Auto's...

You know what you should do, get a 3.0 MV6 Manual and do advance driving lessons!

Thansk all. I will let you know tomorrow afternoon. I'm off for some beauty sleep now, not that I need it. ;D

Calm as a cucumber and just taking this exam in my stride. I don't know what it is, but I do actually enjoy them. Nutter or what? :-/

As a wise man once told me, make like a duck.

Calm as you like on the surface, with the mind and feet going like the clappers out of sight!!

Best of luck

the best of luck, I'm sure you'll pass it with flying colours.

Not sure about using a miggy as an instruction car though - there again you are a bit of an expert on body repairs - I'm sure if your students can be taught how to park a miggy then they can probably park any other car afterwards!

good luck mate,

i know what you mean about enjoying these tests, i was chatting to my examiner all the way round my test, he eventually told me to shut up  ;D

Congratulations Mr McB
If you can park a barge, then you can park anything, you should use this as a selling point.  What's the point in learning to drive if you're scared silly of anything bigger than a mini?

Congratulations Ron - never any doubt though  ;)

the 1007 is awful! utter rubbish... makes you sick every time the auto box changes gear.

Whats funny though is you can drive along with both doors open!! i did that at 40mph... quite fun when you look down to your left and there's the road!!  ;D

reminds me of some of the vans my Dad had when we were kids; the ones with the sliding doors, great for keeping cool in summer :)

We used a 1007 for 8 weeks when our 206 was in getting broken by the Peugeot dealer.

1007 - horrible little car.  Hated the gimmicky doors, but my 21 year old son had a hoot with them, running open along the beach and speaking to the girls in the passing!!   ;D

Engine was as flat as a flat thing in a flat place at a flat time.  

Boot space is only big enough for the king size two foot single slipper and a pension book.

Was almost glad to get the 206 back.   ;)
