Passed my driving test in '87, I was living on Nuthall Rd but immediately found myself driving back to my old haunt of Bilborough every single night.

Soon formed good friendships with kids the same age as me who had cars just as 'good' as mine.  We probably got on everybody's nerves as we used to drive (sometimes fast) between Bracebridge shops and Cocko shops and everywhere in between, in convoys of 5 or more.

The Milestone on Glaisdale was very popular with us all too, for a soft drink and a gathering.

We also used to visit Eastwood, Ilson and Notts town centre on a friday/ saturday night poaching as amateur taxis.

A favourite was to drive to the QMC and go to the top of the (now demolished) multi storey car park and wash all our cars with the fire hydrant before speeding off into town.

Any of you motor offenders from that era out there?
