Today's Driving Lesson

[queenofmean]

was BL00DY brilliant. We were meant to do hill starts but we practiced them mainly. We did turns in the road and he was like you are really good at these(!) never did one before today and I'm good at something! Went over clutch control and pulling away and using the gas quickly and stuff...

He must be keen as he wants to check my parking skills (which I've done loads of) and move onto the Dual Carriage way next time we go out!

[woofgang]

Oh well done!!

[Psybbo]

Well done Queenie, how's bf?

[queenofmean]

thank you woofgang. Was really surprised :)

[queenofmean]

Thanks Sib.....dunno really was meant to see him later but I bailed and we parted on a bum note last night. Taking him out on Tuesday get me haha x

[excelsior-1]

that is great news

keep up the good work, and the enthusiasm

[tonyav]

Very well done queenie, has he said anything about when he thinks you might be ready for the test ?.

[queenofmean]

Thank you Excel :)

Its a bit of a wait until my next lesson but it feels so good.

[queenofmean]

Thanks Tony.

My provisional Expires on Sept 12th but I asked him if he thinks I can pass by then and he certainly thinks I will. I just need to sort my theory out and I'm cooking with gas really. But I have to wait until I come back from Cardiff before I can book it.

[tonyav]

Righto queenie.

[queenofmean]

If I have any pennies left over first thing I'll do when I get my laptop back on the 3rd will be booking it!

[tonyav]

Don't go mad with the spending in Cardiff then queenie, keep your driving lessons in mind !.

[flump1]

Well done you, sounds like you are a natural x

[queenofmean]

I won't Tony, I just need Dinner Money, Programme Money and something for emergencies and any money I make from Avon will go into my 'saving' fund for Cardiff and future Driving lessons.

Thank You Flump, it feels natural to drive just a few things do take a little getting used to, but I was always asking dad questions and watching what he did from a youngish age and I've always taken an interest in cars and things so I think in a way its helped down the line :)

[tonyav]

Queenie, check out my post about police patrol driving in Dubai. When you pass your driving test you maybe interested in a job !.

[queenofmean]

Will do Tony, but being Diabetic I think a job in the forces is maybe out of the question but I enjoy driving so there's a chance I could work in something driving related :)

[tonyav]

Only joking queenie, but just check out those police cars !.

[queenofmean]

DIBS on the Camaro!!!

There was a car drove past my work yesterday and funnily enough I thought of you but no idea what it was though. Might go google cars LOL

[SlackAlice]

When your practising your parking don't frighten him off by doing this!
Congrats on current progress, keep it up ☺

LOL I don't think I'm quite ready for that SlackAlice (not sure we have roads/spaces big enough to try that here) but thank you. I've never actually done parallel parking yet. I can park in a space surrounded by other vehicles in a car park :)
