Gamechanger, part 2

Continuing on from last time is the second part of my "gamechanger" post which only exists as I rambled too much in part 1. I picked up my car on Saturday and over the course of the weekend and today's commute I must have easily travelled 100+ miles. I am a little nervous when first starting off on a journey - it's a little scary

I took some snaps in between the time of running over flowerbeds at my Nan's house - "you got the one with the sexy arse" exclaimed my friend Carl when laying eyes on what has been my most expensive purchase EVAR!!1 Seriously, the only way I will top this is buying a house, or a more expensive car.

Gamechanger, part 1

The blog has been quiet of late for a number of reasons. One of those reasons has been the summer (stretching onto Autumn, more about that later) of me learning to drive. I've alluded to it in various tweets and also my first (and currently only) iphone app review post where I looked at some apps to help with the theory test. Well I managed to pass the theory back in June, put in my practical test straight away and failed at my first attempt in August. Not to be beaten, I put in for it again and passed the second time round at the end of September, and there was much rejoicing.

This weekend I am heading back to Shropshire to take the final steps and secure my first car - a pretty cool red Fiesta (low mileage, good condition *thumbs up*) and the realisation that being able to drive really is a gamechanger.
