Forgot to answer this.

1. Legal age in Belgium is 17 years and 9 months. Which for me was on 11 May 1992. I passed my licence on 12 may 1992 :lol:

2. Passed first time as well theory and practice exams.

Yes the WR1 is starting to feel like a younger mans car, my slippers keep slipping on the alloy pedals! :D :D

As for not being as strong and fit, maybe you shouldn't judge everybody by your own standards !!!

I've been driving for 10 years :shock:

Passed first time, however someone did do a hit and run on me. The examiner checked the car was ok and still legal, which it was as was small bump and asked me to continue :o I was bit nervous then but still managed to pass :)

Passed when was 17.

doesn't feel that long ago, and I pretty much remember the whole 45 mins it took to complete the test route.

Past first time after 8 lessons a shade over 15 years ago....

Crikey....now I feel even older.
