Did my Class 1 back in 1991

Took 'Cat D' (Coach) middle of last year, hazzard perception was fun. :D

When I was having the training in the coach I had an old lady try to
get on the bus, :lol:  I was only practising pulling into bus stops. :roll:  

Have fun, remember whats following you, watch out for the idiots and stay safe. :wink:

Did my Class 2 in October just gone :)  having never done a hazard perception test I found that very tricky, what your seeing on the screen is not really what you see from your driving position.  Anyway passed with flying colours. :)

Gotta do my Class 1 now so I can do wagon and drag.

Did my car licence in a 109 landy, 1975, class 3 in a bedford mk one year later. By 1980 had class 2, tracks, fork truck (off road type).
Picked up my class 1 in 86.

And a few oddballs in between

Makes me feel old, specially crawling round under the motor this morning :wink:  :?

what raffle did you enter into? Fantastic 2nd prize. And if that was the 2nd prize what was the first? Wish I won or even entered into those raffles. All I ever win is the bottle of ketchup or bar of soap or pack of crisps nobody wants and keep pulling a number out until it is me or gives it to me coz I am the only sucker to take them!  :lol:
