This appeared the other day Robbie.
I was at school with someone in the fifties whose family made good English sports cars. Of course they aren't made any more. The family sold Porsches as well.
The person I was at school with, thuggish but genial, boasted that his elder brother had taken his first driving test in a DKW rally car and failed it by terrifying the examiner out of his wits. It's fairly believable but may not be entirely true in the manner of stories like that. I know the brother was no slouch because he spun a VW Beetle on purpose while parking it on the gravel in front of the school, and drove a racer up the hill from Old Windsor to Englefield Green in a way that could be heard for miles.
