    Thank you very much for the kind birthday wishes :)

    Well, I have just been out with my mum for around an hour and a quarter on some very quiet roads around near me, and it went rather well, if I do say so myself. My mum said she was impressed as well, which was nice :D

    I did one and two lane roundabouts, and single carriageways up to 50mph. Also a couple of reverse bay parks and left and right turns out of junctions. The good news is, the car still has 4 intact and undamaged alloys and I didn't stall!

    Thanks again :D
