Congrats on the driving test... What made you take up driving after 14 years of not? Its the best thing, that driving lark.
Went out with the police again on Saturday night - got a "blue light taxi" (i think thats what they call it... blue lights not on but thats the slang term for a lift in a cop car) home at 4:30am with a traffic officer in a BMW 330d... that 10 minutes was probably the highlight of the entire evening.
But thats off topic

Hey guys, cheers for the usual friendly welcome back
Chris... I waited a long time because I took the test 3 times when I was 18 and failed miserably. Having lived in Torquay, London and Cambridge, there wasn't much need for a car. They such public transport orientated commuter cities, I could avoid the driving. Moving to Manchester changed that. My work has sites all over the place and I was the only non-driving member of the team. Additionally, I have friends dotted everywhere in and around Manchester. Not having a car & transport became just too of a pain. So I took the plunge on a weeks intensive course and passed! (Much to my total shock!)...
I took delivery of my 06 Ford Focus on Monday. Been driving a 52 plate Fiesta since I passed. I felt confident to take on the bigger motor and I would never go back to the old days before I drove. I LOVE it!
