Well finally the insurance started on my car. Well my parents but meh. The important thing is that I can finally drive it now which I have been doing for most the day. It is hideously big but once I got used it to it seemed easy enough. That said I haven’t actually tried to park it yet other than driving into the drive.
So far no real problems, kind of. None that I plan to admit to on the open forum of the internet anyway ;). There are differences between the Ford Mondeo estate and the Nissan Micra I learned to drive in though (size is too obvious to be listed). First of all the view from the rear mirror is smaller as you see the car frame due to it being so far back.
Second the engine is much more powerful. I am hardly pressing the accelerator in 3rd gear and I am struggling to keep to the 30 miles per hour speed limit. It is going to take some time for me to get used to the power of the car.
Overall though I am actually enjoying driving now. I realize this is just a novelty that will soon ware off but learning to drive pretty much sucked. Now it is actually good to drive. If I experienced emotions I would even call it fun.
