I alluded in a recent post that I hadn't had much time for reading. Well, this week just gone I was to sit a driving theory test on friday, so I've spent all my free time on hazard perception training programs and reading the highway code.

VW Lupo

I actually mixed my dates up and it's next friday, which is embarrassing. google maps gave me totally the wrong location for the place, but the paper A-Z sorted me out which was lucky. At least I know next week where to go.

I bought a VW Lupo this week (my first car). 1,500GBP, 65k on the clock (5k over average: 6 year old car). My insurance is in the 700GBP region per year. Went to Durham and back this weekend in it to drop my brother off at Uni.
