I've not been around much for the last six months or so, mostly because of life and work not being terribly great. My desire to spend any time at a keyboard after spending 9 hours at work for work is close to zero, and when I do feel like it I don't do much 3D.
Anyway in an attempt to get something fun and enjoyable away from the keyboard into my life, I've started to learn to drive I figure it's about time really, given that I'm nearly 30, and in true Rys fashion I've done it all a bit backwards, buying a car first before I passed my test.
I've been driving around in my girlfriend's Fiesta for a little while, since getting my provisional, and I've recently started formal lessons with a proper instructor. Got my theory test in early July, so hopefully all going well I'll have passed come the end of September.
Being nearly 30 meant I didn't have to get something too cheap and slow, for fear of the insurance being a total nightmare. Years on the road count less than years on your body for some reason. To my benefit though....
It's a 172 with 182 wheels and some other non-standard bits here and there. Hopefully, all going well, I pick it up later this afternoon! I bought it a few weeks ago, but I've been waiting for the private plate to get taken off and the car reregistered with the original number (or possibly a new one).
So if you live near Sheffield, watch out for me zooming around in with my L plates on
