because, you know, when you started to form friendships with girls and what have you, i was a bit of a rebel, and i can't say with my hand on my heart that i didn't sneak a young lady in my car on more than one occasion. she'd sit where the wheelchair would sit, on the floor, very uncomfortable, totally no padding, no seatbelt, totally unsafe. reporter: the campaign to get| invalids onto four wheels instead of three switched in october to tower bridge. i did take part in a protest against these vehicles. we were looking for the government to consider issuing a regular, adapted ordinary cars. eventually the protest got so heated that the government allowed this scheme to allow the provision of a regular car adapted for disabled persons. this triumph spitfire is the first sports car to be converted and cost £115 to switch to hand operation.
