GCSE result

I took my maths GCSE again, and I completely screwed it up again.

I got a D.

Hi!

To whoever might be reading this post - hello! I have just discovered this blog website. Well, this is just a sample blog so expect greater things to happen when I get my bearings!

Driving

Don't you ever get really annoyed by inconsiderate drivers? Take lights for example. A BMW was driving behind me earlier on, when it was really pouring down like rain tends to do in England. Not only did he have his lights on full beam, not even dipped, but they were powerful, bright xenon ones! I could barely bring myself to glance at the rearview mirror for fear of getting dazzled! Let that be a lesson to all you BMW drivers with xenons - dip 'em!

Cars

I am a total and utter petrolhead. Well, I'm not overly keen on petrol, so I suppose I'm a dieselhead. That's not the point though.
I buy all the magazines - Auto Express (had a letter published!), Top Gear, What Car?, Test Drive (had an article about me published!), and occasionally I buy AutoCar. i have no idea how I got hooked onto cars, but I did. I suppose it was when Mum and Dad bought our current car - the Citroen ZX which is 9 years old now - and I just thought the feeling and smell of a brand new top-of-the-range car was unbeatable. I'm learning to drive, and have my test on --/--/-- (not telling you - ha ha!). Mum and Dad have told me that if I pass my test and get a job (sorted!) I can have the Citroen. Test Drive called it 'decrepid' but I call it 'well used' and 'much loved'. I'll probably take it over in January when I've persuaded Mum and Dad to get a new Honda Civic. They're amazing, and virtually unchanged from the concept car. Here's a link - www.honda.co.uk. See what you think, and help me persuade my folks!
