Another "stimulating" Driving School one, while I remember it...
The driving school for whom I worked was a small and simple outfit. Unlike the giants of the driving instruction world, such as BSM or the AA, we did not have the luxury of areas out the back to practice driving, let alone anything so sophisticated as a full driving simulator.

The customer on the telephone, of course, does not know this - no harm in asking, is there?
"Hi, I want to start learning to drive."
"Well, this is a good place to start."
"Yeah, I'm a bit nervous about getting in a real car. Do you have a stimulator?"
"A driving simulator? No, sir, we don't have one, I'm afraid."
"No, I want a stimulator."
"I think you mean a simulator."
"..."
"A driving simulator?"
"Yeah, a driving stimulator."

I avoided (a) the temptation to direct him to a website which might be able to meet his needs and (b) any jokes about the kind of "relaxing" he wanted before he got into a real car. This, I feel, was impressive self-restraint on my part. I wonder if he ever found himself a stimulator...

Big V8 engined things
Maybe he just wanted to learn to drive in a muscle car and didn't care about the brand?
