She has the basics mastered (been driving since she was 12) which makes a big difference when she starts learning with an instructor. Car is Cat N and is currently awaiting repair an £8k car back on the road for a shade over £3k. I would hope that we will be back up and running by December. Will probably insure it before then to ensure everything is tip top.Herzlos said:
