I think he'd gone downhill big-style by the time you had lessons with him. He wasnt divorced when I learnt and he was actually very good. I learnt/took my driving test in 1987 when his **** was still together...

It depends; I think that John Felstead is friends with him, but he isnt on the television much now. His name is Chris Maries, he's old and fat now but he is still very very fast (he was always a lot faster than Barry Williams and Tiff Needell), with a style similar to Gerry marshall's...
I will let you know about the films; did you manage to find a THX setup disc?

Think I will get the barge award, I passed in a 1989 Mercedes 190D which had no power whatsoever, easy car to drive though
My instructor was a bit eccentric, used to smoke a pipe while we drove around.
