PPL after 32 Hrs 40 mins
Solo after 9 Hrs 20 mins

Mind you that was with a dispensation for having a gliding "Bronze C" qualification and it was at a time when there was no Navigation Flight Test and the total requirement was 40 Hrs not 45.

Whether or not you are a good or lousy pilot bears no relation to the number of hours you took.

The training and exams are not designed to make you a good pilot, they are designed, like the driving test, to ensure that you are reasonably competent to be let loose on your own.
