When I bought my Sprite back in 1962 I was only 24 years old. I drove it daily for ten years then and it was automatic in not having to think about the motions involved in driving. Now that it is recently back on the road I am having to relearn old processes. When I go to signal a turn my hand automatically reaches under the steering wheel to flip the turn signal arm. Then I catch myself and reach over to flip the switch in the middle of the dashboard. All too frequently I forget to reach over and turn it off after completing the turn. The indicator lamp on the dash flashes with the turn signal activated but it is now blocked from my vision by my new smaller steering wheel. My solution was to wire a small buzzer into the circuit and now I hear the buzzer and know to turn the flasher off. In driving events with the local club I have followed big Healeys for distances with their blinker still activated so I guess I might not be unique in being forgetful
All in all it is a blast relearning to drive my Sprite all over again. The first time I learned to drive it my driving had to be on the left side of the road as well so that is one less thing to relearn now.
