Richard Wilson Learns to Drive
In preparation for driving the various old cars in Britain's Best Drives (2009), Richard Wilson is given a refresher course in driving cars with manual transmission, since he has only driven automatic cars for much of his life. He also learns to adapt to cars that have heavy manual steering, and drum brakes which are less efficient that the disc brakes on a modern car. At the Ace Café on the North Circular Road in north-west London, a famous bikers' café, he sees the cars that he is due to drive and meets their owners.
