I guess this is my mandatory 'Hello' post! My name is Ben & I've just started driving! I got myself a 67 plate Octavia MK3 Facelift and I'm obsessed with 'modding' it . . . With this being my first car, I'd appreciate any advice and am looking forward to chatting with y'all!

Welcome to the forums, Ben! Fellow new-ish driver here, I passed in August.

Well technically I passed at the end of August! But I haven't really been doing much driving haha! How did you find the driving test?

Me too, 27th for me. I've been the opposite, doing a lot of driving since I've been commuting.

Found it to be alright. The only issue I faced was the examiner wouldn't stop talking to me when I was trying to concentrate.

Ahh good stuff! I passed on 28th . . . I've done a couple of long journeys but starting to use it more now the weathers turning!

Haha, my examiner was grouchy as hell and to make matters worse, he was the examiner that tests driving instructors 😬

 

Anyhow, nice meeting you budd! 😀

Haha! I'd like to say I'm not that bad but that's because I have a black box reigning me in atm . . . It goes on the 3rd of November 🙈🙉🙊
