My trials and tribulations of learning to drive, to passing my test and beyond!

A Little Extra Curricular Activity.

Well I managed to get a little practice in our own car today. It took a few minutes to get used to the clutch (what with it being a sports car and all, according to the other half...) because I had to nearly lift my foot up fully before I found the bite!

We were round on an industrial estate so that I could have a little practice in reversing around a corner! The first went a little skewiff and I was miles away from the kerb, but then I got the hang of it and made a perfect one! My hubby being my hubby though, didn't believe that I'd done it that well and decided it was a fluke so made me do it again! Guess what? I did it again! Hehehehe!

He said I was being far too cocky and insisted that I show him a turn in the road as well, which I found extremely hard to do in the confined space that I had, couple with the fact that I was now driving a Vauxhall Vectra and not a Renault Clio!! I didn't manage it in 3 turns, in fact the first time I went onto the kerb apparently, though I didn't feel it, but I did manage it in 5 turns which wasn't bad considering the difference in size!

So that was the end of that. I'll put it on record that he said he was impressed with my driving after 23 lessons and reckons I'm nearly there! Now there's a compliment to behold because they don't come too easy from my fella!! ;-)
