Wot's a stream driver? Is that somebody with useful skills for when you're up the creek without a paddle? :lol:

Then why do you do it?


Because ADUK is such a powerful attraction: can't stay away, I guess. :)

Sorry for the slow reply guys; been hectic working.

My observer has cancelled for a second week in a row, next Sunday I'm in work as well. Not fantastic but what can I do :/

Hi all,

Been hectic working, not a huge amount to report. I am now test ready, my observer thinks I should achieve my target of getting a First.

I was contacted by another observer to arrange a pre test, that was two weeks ago nothing since. A shame because I've been available for nearly a week on annual leave.

I've contacted Clive at the HPC to be assessed and hopeful enrol onto the course. Going to be expensive but needs must to take my driving to a high standard.

Hi - it's been a while. Good to see you're nearly test-ready. So if you were 'contacted', when's your pre-test?

She asked me my availability, I gave all the days I could do over the next few weeks. Unsure what to do now, I think calling her will be best. She emailed me on the 10/03/2015.

Should of signed up to the Bristol group, you lot seem more efficient than the Gwent group. Never got a demo run in his Evogue either, he must of preferred my Audi haha!

Quick update I have selected Thursday evening as my preferred day to go for a drive, with the chief observer. Awaiting email to confirm who, what, where, when basically.

It's my birthday today but the drivers matrix for Saturday, is what I'm waiting for with excitement. Maybe age is to blame, but I don't think it'll be long before I'm at an IAM meeting with my pipe and slippers. With a mk1 Jetta as my trusted mode of transport.

Morning all,

I had to call her early this morning to make arrangements for the pre test drive tonight. She tried telling me how to get to some pub. Then she suggested the train station, makes sense it's the most modern building in Newport, South Wales haha.

Hopefully after this I can just do the test, so I can wash my hands with the local group. Feels like a part time job getting answers. They email as opposed to calling :/
