Recently, when my Mum retired as Chairman of a local choral society, my Dad suggested that instead of buying her a gift they should sponsor her on a Ladies' Driving Day (which raises funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care). Here she is driving a Royal Mail articulated lorry which she had to reverse between bollards. She also drove a digger, a 40 ton truck, a tractor, a double decker bus, a Dalek (how do you drive a Dalek?), a Land Rover 101 Forward Control, and a 1905 car without steering wheel (just a stick to steer with, a break and an accelerator). 240 women took part and raised between them £30,000 for the charity. Olly. (Original article by my Dad).
