Really enjoying these old war stories gent some are great to read :thumbs: I only passed my test in 2004 so didn't have the pleasure of driving the 'older' cars. I did how ever have some pretty crap old vans as an apprentice. Most memorable was driving home one evening. Approached a 30 limit went to slow down from my sensible 80mph to find the brake pedal just went straight to the floor and I had no brakes at all. Luckily there was no one in front of me so I just used the gears to slow the van down and continued my journey home in peak traffic, hazards on and using the handbrake.
