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!
