He's had 6 or 7 that I can remember.
Learning to drive in an older car does not make you a superior driver. Sure they have bad brakes, terrible suspension and poor handling and you learn some skills just getting behind the wheel, but driving those cars do not make you a better driver than someone driving a current model car with a load more torque and horse power. I believe it takes more skill to handle some cars on our roads today which are modern. Just look at the power output we are seeing with some of the performance machines compared to the cars from an earlier era.

Yes so how many accidents will you have in the next 20 years lol
It may just be that your a better driver than your dad but you are only 2 people in how many thousands of drivers out there.
I am not so sure if all the cars 30 or 40 years ago had no power lol
I myself had 3 Holden Monaro's with rebuilt 308's & 327's
I also had a 351 or 2 & used to use all that they had being young & silly back then.
I guess the question is for me does driving cars these days with all the advances over years give people less driving skill than 30 or 40 years ago driving cars back then along with the roads we had back then also & not just learning to drive in old cars etc
