This is my car, isn't she beautiful? I named her after the Wacky Races' car but call her 'Chuggz' for short. I didn't want a boring, everyday name for her because she is not boring and everyday, she is special. She's an 04 reg Fiat Punto and I've never loved any'thing' like her (not even my mac!) we didn't get along at first, I hated driving her because she is so light and nippy and petrol (my learner car is diesel, one of the new Corsas - he is a doll too) but I soon learnt to love her, and love driving her, in fact I couldn't have asked for a better first car.
You may be wondering why I'm posting about my car, after all I got her for my 18th over a year ago. Well, today was the day of my driving test! I've been so ready for this for ages, been nervous all week and got a total of about 4 hours sleep last night due to nerves. My instructor and I met about an hour before my test (which was at 10:14am) and I got myself geared up and physced for my test. There were two others waiting for their test too, both of them had their examiners and off they went, I was the last one; nervous, excited, scared, ready, I sat and waited and what should happen? Out comes some small old man with my license and said to me "sorry, but we've had to cancel your test because your examiner is ill, we've rebooked it for 6 weeks time unless you manage to get a cancellation." ...what? At first I thought he was joking but NO full on serious! The disappointment and anger I felt and am still feeling is second to none! I was so ready, and I didn't even get my chance.
So that's why I've decided to dedicate a post to Chuggz, because thanks to the stupid government and their ridiculous schemes for driving she now has to sit on my drive longer, and be driven only with 'L' plates until I finally get my chance to pass. Seems almost, unfair, no?
