This new car is brilliant. A couple of months ago my dad bought an MG which i posted about here, and ever since then we have had 3 cars. One, my dads old VW Passat estate was banished to the side drive and although he refused to sell it it stayed on the side drive unused for several months.. but then i passed.
I was insured on this car, but hadn't driven it for 5 months because on one of my first times out in it, when i had just started driving I crashed it into another car, and although the only damage to us was a snapped numberplate which took the full force of the impact, the car I hit had one side ruined and needed 2 doors and wheel arches replaced, so i didn't drive it after that.
After passing my mum took me out in it and I was fine, and as the car is MOT'd, serviced, and I'm insured on it for 12 months it is now mine!! Its basically a free car, which i cannot complain about. So far I have driven into college, dropping my sister off and picking up a mate in the process, and then yesterday was a real landmark day for my driving.
Me and Dad went to M&S on the other side of town, and i took my first trip on the motorway, which was fine even though i was a bit nervous before. I then drove to Sale to a mates house, and then on to the Trafford Center so had to go on the motorway again, twice. We stayed there for a while got some food, a jacket, and an I-trip for the car and then left. We then drove to the pub in Hale Barns (Dont worry i drank cokes) and then from there, back to Sale, dropped a couple of friends off, and then on through Stretford to Chorlton for a famous Chinese takeaway which turned out quite nice. We dropped my friend back off in Sale, and then i stayed at a friend's in Timperley. It was a top night, driving round with no traffic, exploring places we'd never normally go (Chorlton) and having Tim Westwood on the radio making us feel like gangsters! I am absolutely loving this new freedom!
This is what I'm driving! (Not my actual one)

Try not to be like most Passat drivers, who seem to regards any car in front of them as an insult, that must be avenged by overtaking as fast as possible.
