VROOM VROOM ...

Toot toot! 

So today, after much stressing and an extreme case of the shakes ... I only blimmin' well passed my driving test!!

Delighted, over the moon, elated, flabbergasted, thrilled, overjoyed ... none of this covers how exactly I am feeling.

I was convinced I had failed my test,  I had made so many silly mistakes that never seem to happen on my lessons, so when the examiner announced this would be the last driving test I would ever sit - I burst into tears!!

Ugh, how cringeworthy ... especially since the tears were followed by me screaming and much jumping around in the drivers seat with excitement.

Anyway,  I am a bit restless now and I'm not quite sure what to do with myself so I thought I would google cars!!  I love retro/vintage cars and in an ideal world I would only ever drive them (albeit a pimped up version with power steering, ABS, electric windows etc ... not that i'm fussy!!) but they can be a little too expensive and hard to come by.  Luckily I already have a car waiting for me, a racing green soft top MX-5 ... Just need to get the insurance sorted and I should be good to go by next week :)

So here is my idea of car candy ...

Alpha Romeo Spider
The original Fiat 500

BMW Roadster


VW Beetle



Not an actual photo of my car but this is basically it - Mazda MX-5

Instead of lusting after brand new car models, I really do love the vintage styles and retro shapes. 

To be honest, I would drive anything, I am just so darn chuffed to actually have a license now!! 

What's your idea of car candy??

  2. Congrats again!! I love my car but it's probably your idea of hell. Ideally I'd quite like a Range Rover Sport though I'm not sure... I'd need something to hold lots of shopping bags and clutter

    @Nude Obsession It's more the potholes I worry about - they'd sink my wee car lol xx

    @ Sammiebbz THanks! :) Don't be scared, honestly just go for it. My first lesson was fine, they don't take you on main roads until you learn to control the car so don't be afraid, you can so do it xx
