New driver with an old car

Yep, hardest part of the test for any new driver I`d say, was for me.
I did`nt have a car but wanted my license, heck, I think I was 15, called a learners permit.
Had to have a licensed driver with you, and at 16 could get junior operators IIRC or operators. I forget.
My brother inlaw let me use his mid 70s 4 dr. Olds, you know, those massive boats?
Our parking test they were cruel, I had to parallel on a steep hill. Made me do it twice, was`nt close enough first time. Passed me anyhow:)
