Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Tomorrow!
Failed! Only on Emergency Stop and Bad Signalling though (only, though they are probably majors). There were a few other little things but my sheet looked pretty clean. Unlucky I guess and the emergency stop is a crucial one to get right.
Phonin to re-book tomorrow so we'll see... Stil confident I'll pass next time round!

Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Result!
Thanks, trying not to let it get to me too much. Compared to my twin brothers test (which he passed) my sheet was much cleaner, and although his emergency stop wasn't as lean as mine, he did reverse into a fence bay parking and still pass.
Different days different quotas for passes, there had been alot of passes apparently today so they didn't have to pass me to fill a quota, and all agreed they might have done with my brothers. Just unlucky I guess. Next time, I can't wait to do it again!

jayrs :nothing major mate, sorry you didnt pass, but im sure your be spot on next time
Thanks mate, if not I'll do it again n again til I pass! best attitude to have I rekon. I certainly won't be giving up, that Fiesta needs a good driver and I want to be one. My brother passed and he thinks he shouldnt have. I'd rather pass knowing I deserved to and being more confident in the Fiesta. Will be so paranoid when I get the kit on that I'm gonna stack it and fook all my hard work and hard earnt money right up! Thats the good thing about Flux, discount for owners club members! Not sure if they go down to 20yr olds though, might be 21+.
Failing my test this time gives me time and money to get the kit painted and on, so not too bitter. Just a shame really. Would have happily passed and driven the fezza with te SI interior and standard exterior till I could get the kit on, but thats life!!

Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Result!
this is gunna sound a bit bent but bear with me.
some people that pass first time dont apprecate (sp) it and go mental maybe smash a car up or 2, more so if mummy and ddaddy have paied for it, those that save and pay for it them selfs and pass tend to be more carful and appreacte it more, and if they fail first time, they really do appreacte it the second time, and when they got there licence, there normaly carful not to lose it, i.e better driver.
i passed first time, but i saved and paid for the lessions and the car all my self, and just under a week before my test my first car was bought and paid for, taxed and mot'ed insured, and sat on the drive waiting for me, my little B reg (white
) fiesta XR2, failing was not a option
, and ive apprecated it ever since, driving that is.
so you get in there next time mate, when you pass which im sure you will, your understand the above
makes me sound old dont it

Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Result!
i know where your comin from jay. bought my 1.1 fiesta off a local chap for £300. Took me 4 attempts to pass but i feel a better driver because of it
2 of the tests were for silly reasons to fail.

Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Result!
Good point Jay and I see where you're coming from with it.
Although dads bought my car for when I turn 17, I'm paying for everything that I want done and paying dad back for parts so in theory it's me paying for it and I can't wait to start and know that my car is waiting for me

Re: 5-dr Replica Project - Update: Driving Test Result!
You don't sound old Jay Even though you are aren't you?
I do appreciate it all quite a lot already, but I know I won't fully until I have passed and I'm driving. I hate these spoilt sh!ts who have they're parents buying then 56 reg cars and they still moan they dont like them! Everything for my car has been paid for myself, spent over £500 quid on that car so far (brought it for £200) and spent quite a way past £600 on driving lessons. Still need to tax and insure the thing yet!... lol..
