I was going to start flying lessons, its a bit expensive so ive had to put that on hold until i pass my driving. But i can safely say flying is easier than driving. Well for a small plane anyway.

I've had one flying lesson.

Flying is fun, and its bloody amazing.

I can pretty much drive, just don't have the paper... failed three times two years ago.. gonna have to nail it when I leave uni, it's essential.

Yeh, you definatly need to be able to drive these days. Its best to do it early on now for me because most of it will be paid for me by my perants and i wont get that oppertunity if i left it for a few years.

i started driving when i was 13

I drive, if i didn't i would be forced to suffer the horrors of taking public transport!

Public transport is pretty horrible. Th'other day at t'bus stop, I was forced to listen to a total smackhead's theory on how the 'Credit Crunch' came about. He claimed Gordon Brown was on smack himself, hence the glazed look he always has. I was going to tell the bloke that GB is just blind, but couldn't be ringed.

scalextrix or TCR???

Probably Hot Wheels.

Been driving since 1999, been a massive part of my life and got me loads of good (and terrible) jobs. Passing my test was terrible, I was on valium and the guy only passed me as he couldn't find anything decent to fail me on.... but he said he was looking hard!

Fucker.

Got the minimum allowance for vehicles to drive and if I want to drive heavier stuff that normal drivers do (like vans) then I have to take my test again. Not the best ego boost i ever had.

Ooer, why on earth were you on valium? Nerves?

I've been driving for about 5 years. I've not had a car for the last year though. I've also never owned a good car. I've had a VW Golf that died after 2 weeks because the head gasket went and it started leaving massive trails of grey smoke everywhere.

I had a Nissan Primera which had loads of electrical problems, the lights sometimes wouldn't come on so I'd have to drive around at night with the main beams on, the passenger door filled up with water when it rained, and the electric window went down but took ages to go up. The back windows had to be held up with pieces of cardboard because they went down on their own.

Then I got another Nissan Primera which didn't cost anything, but that only lasted a year.

Cars are gay and driving is shite now. When I started driving it seemed that there was an un-written rule that everyone had to do 40 in 30 zones, which is nice, but now every cunt does either 30 or less and that sucks because I'm an impatient bastard.

Yeah I love driving, it's great fun, especially when you see other drivers get proper angry over pointless stuff. Insurance is rediculous but if you keep your no claims then it will go down a lot. I'm on my thrird year of insurance now and first it was over a grand I think, now I pay something like £450. My tax ran out on Friday, gotta renew that, such a pain. Oh and I fucking love my car, it's a hard bastard, we've had some good times.
