Hi everyone.

Just got my First ever Skoda. A 2011 Fabia mk2 1.6 Diesel Hatchback.

Only had it three weeks and already love it. Fuel economy is great which is just what I need at the moment as I'm commuting from London to Wales every weekend.

It's going to be my personal vehicle as well as my business vehicle , as I'm set to qualify as a driving instructor later this year.

Good luck with the new car and even better luck as a qualified driving instructor.

Have you past the 2nd part yet?

Thanks Giandougl. Yes I've passed my part 2, currently training for my part 3.

Wow, Good Luck!

 

I am new around here as well. I live in Wales and I have been to London once from Wales and it is a long way so communting all that way is impressive!

I found it strange lots of years ago, with the examiner ( probably a failed driving instructor, then becoming an examiner LOL), being 'in role' as a learner, then at test standard.

I vaguely remember him asking me to teach him the emergency stop, adding, we won't do it, but explain to me the procedure..

After the breakdown of the procedure that was that, we drove back to centre, ( examiner out of role of course) the next day's post had letter to say I had passed.

That was in Leeds in the early 1980's.

Whereabouts will you be teaching, have you got a good instructor supporting you?

 

Almost if not all, the whole procedure has changed with percentages involved in each category etc, I doubt if I could even bluff my way through it now..(retired).. LOL

As said the best of British..Welsh...Scottish...Irish...anyone else I have left out..

Wow, Good Luck!

It was a long way at first but having been doing it every week for the last twelve months it's got easier!

Where area are you in Wales?

Yep, got a good instructor. Things have changed. I find it difficult when my instructor is in role, I trust him too much LOL.I will be giving up work in London and moving/teaching in the Powys area, Wales.
