Hi all
Finally got around to passing my car test.Something i made a pact with my brotherinlaw never to do.
"Me,i,m a proper biker.Getting a car is selling out"
He got his when his first kid arrived.
I got mine when our kid arrived.
Thing is,i hate been in a car.
Gus

Congratulations Gus.

Well done, I guess? P'raps you should have bought a Reliant Robin for your family transit duties, so you don't suffer the ignomony of having a car license

Check you new license still has the bike entitlement on it when it comes back from Swansea. Might be worth photocopying the old one before you send it off, just in case...

Cheers,

Paul

Well done dude,one less hassle,strangely enough my Dutch mate has never learned to drive a car,but then rideing a bicycle is an option over there

Bad luck Gus

Since riding the bike more, everyday to work and back, I've grown more and more to detest driving in the car or being driven. However I can't deny that it does come in handy when transporting the wife and child about as well as other houshold items that don't fit on the back seat of the bike... Not to say the wife doesn't fit on the back, but you get my point tho

well done Gus,all the best drivers are Bikers.all the best,andyd

Well done Gus, I have had a car now for just over 4 years (since getting a dog...). Had the S longer Now on my second car as a grown up..

There'll be lots of new things to get used to like heaters, stereos and storage space.

Oh and a roof...

Its shocking how baby paraphernalia can fill half a back seat, passenger foot wells and the boot

Hope all is well with the little one.

Congrats Gus, checked on your wellbeing with a strange lookin bloke I met on a tow path.He didn`t mention the test though. Glad to hear you and the family are doing well.

Thankyou all

Ade,the mini cooper is going up for sale as we need something bigger to cart all the baby gizmos and camping stuff about.Hope all is well with your new addition and that your enjoying fatherhood as much as i am.

Hope all is well with your new addition and that your enjoying fatherhood as much as i am.

Indeed I am enjoying it 3months in, especially as we're on a weekend away in Dorset and junior is now fast asleep. He's just started to laugh which is hilarious - you've got to be there...

The S has acquired an orange seat to replace its dead black one, courtesy of another board member and I'm looking forward to dazzling people at a brekkie run some time soon.
