Fingers crossed for Supermop
« on: 31 January 2007, 10:18:55 »
Well, Supermop finally has his practical driving test today at the ripe old age of 21. ::) Following a stupid misdemeanour when he was 18 whereby he lost his provisional licence for some time ( :-X), he'd not bothered taking it until now. He passed his theory a few weeks ago and today is the moment of truth. Good luck Greg :y

Hope it works out for him.    :y

If it does, then is that an end to exclusive use of your own car?   ;D

He actually does have his own car now, he bought a 1.4 Ford Escort for £350 just before Christmas which is a good runner but he obviously hasn't been able to drive it yet. Provided he passes today AND can afford the insurance, I'll have exclusive use of my own car again to a certain extent, but as Greg works for the same company as me and it's about a 22 mile journey each way, it makes sense for him to come with me.

Never know he may want your car in the future, then he could take you to work. ;)

Thanks guys. Think I'll be driving the miggy to and from work if I pass now ;D

Yeah, I don't mind spilling about the opps up, all those years ago... (I was 17 actually dad)

Went out for ciggies at 2am, and got pulled over. Silly me forgot I'd had about 6 or so pints of strong lager earlier on that evening. I got an 18 month ban, and a £350 fine which dad kindly picked up for me. Was somewhat traumatising being locked up in the court cells and being in the dock at court. Don't think that will be happening ever again. You know how it is when your a teen, thinking your invincible etc.  :-/

Yes possibly the most expensive packet of cigs i've ever smoked. I quit smoking now anyway.

Test result: cancelled

Reason: the driving instructors at loughton are w****rs and went on strike action. They will of course get nothing for it except a day off and costing the DSA a fortune in refunded lessons and tests, since none of the other centres did it. I sense some sackings coming up for them.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Was so psyched for it too, my instructor said my driving was brilliant and I would have passed.

Thats sods law  >:( do you think you'd be able to get a free retest at all, only a mate of mine managed to get one when his first test was cancelled due to instructor calling in sick.
