Hey everybody!
Just wanted to share with the lot of you that as of today, November 8th 2006, I have passed my driver's licence test and am free to roam the roads on my own.
So, the ones living in the vicinity of Växjö, Sweden, watch out for a red Audi 80 of a late 80's model.
God damn, it feels good!
*off to drive a bit*

Congrats Wanderer (or better Sonic Driver now?)
However, aren't you allowed to drive at age 18 over there or did it just take some more time to get your license. Anyway, have fun with your Audi!!

Yup. legal age is 18. You can start practice-driving at 16. I just never got around to it. Had my trusty bike. =)
Though, passing 30 and planning family etc more or less creates a *demand* on having a licence, so I figured I might just as well get it overwith. Only 12 years late. =)

Two elderly citizens and a cat. The penguine doesn't count, it survived.

*Sigh!*
What did the instructor said:
"If pedestrians survive your first approach, throw in reverse gear so they can't sue you for accidents involving injury."

Hey there Noisy man. Congratulations!! So the next gathering you can drive there yourself.
Lots off safe km to you and remember drive with your hearth and mind, not with a thing called ego or winkeh

As the old joke goes,
Keep death off the road... drive on the pavement!
Congrats SW!

Nice one Sonic
I hope the insurance treats you nicer than they did me. £1,200 per annum for a Toyota Avensis. Won't really come down til i have 3 years no claims either.

Bloody Hell !
I thought £642 was bad for my first Renault 21 Turbo (group 14 car, 22 year old me, 4 years no claims)
the AA quoted me £1647 4 minutes before that quote and i nearly crapped myself.
