    finally....

    Hi all.

    Today i managed to pass my driving test 1st time. been driving for 6months.

    I got 4 minors, which was pretty cool.

    Didnt tell any of my friends i had it today, just didnt go to lessons hopefully they wont see this for a while...

    I was considering driving to college tomorrow, but i thought it safer to get some practice over the weekend

    I get all the power of a 45hp Nissan Micra (red) its from 2 versions ago, H reg, not the new one, or the one before, but before that!! the last good looking micra.... 1.0litre, 4 gears, 1 radio (no tape), 1 speaker, 3 doors.

    Will

    I will be starting my lessons on the 15th and plan to do a personally fast course to getting my license as I have wanted it for ages, just never had the chance/money/ambition to learn to drive, now is the time when I want it badly.

    I want my test over and done with by March (before i19 LAN party - www.multiplay.co.uk/i19 ) So I can also get a car around that time and been looking at Cheap new cars namly the 64bhp Skoda Fabia 5dr hatch. Insurance group 1, blooming good ecomony etc. Thinking of one of those.

    You'd better book your test soon, chap. There's usually quite a long wait before you get to take it

    I didn't have to wait long for my test... I took it on Friday the 13th. Not suprisingly I had my pick of times on that day!
