Just thought id make a thread since im really chuffed with passing.

I need my license for Work, and ive dragged it all out far too long, so Even though ive had lessons most weeks for about 8 months i finally passed the practical test first time :D

I broke my foot 3 weeks ago so i couldnt drive until this morning. Then the car was a diesel instead of the petrol im used to, since my instructor had to go on a training course. So i felt pretty uncomfortable.

But it all went according to plan in the end and i got 5 minors! :D

Most of which regarded to speed and approach speed but i dont care.. cos i PASSED

YYeeeeehaw! :D
 
well done, i was similar to you i needed my license for work and hated learning. Now i have passed i find it far more enjoyable.
 
I dunno yet mate. My cash situation is pretty poor right now, So i have no idea what to look for. Some jobs ill apply for may provide a van which would be handy.

Maybe someone can recommend a real cheap good runner. Nothing fancy. but cheap as poss to buy and insure :)

Just pick up a cheap escort. Millions around and there easy to fix and get parts for. Should be able to get one with 12months MOT and tax for £500. If it's a bad one then just sell it and get another.

Just remember you're still a n00b though, so take it easy at first.

Heh, the instructor should tell one that after the "I'm pleased to tell you that you've passed".

Well done, Hedge.

i had a escort when i first passed, 1.6lx £350 with 12months MOT and 6 months tax. It was okay apart from the dodgy CVH engine. Get a zetec and there are pretty good ihmo.

edit, pretty good as in cheap and relaible.
