Woo Hoo - I want one of those !
Slight problem *ahem* I will warn you I am ging to swear quite badly here now...............The f***ing car has broken down
I have just been shopping and pulled up on the drive to unload it all, got back in it to reverse it out the way of the neighbours and nothing.................not a bloody thing - no click no, whirr, nowt. I have pushed the pile of scrap back (by myself!) out the way and it is now sitting there laughing at me. Karl wont be home in time to take me so unless the battery charger can work a miracle in an hour - its all off for today Im SOOOOOOO Pissed off

[Tig]

Get a taxi there, and ring Karl to come and collect you, or see if you can drop yourself off at home in the lorry ;D You can't miss lesson number 1 - this is a life changing moment, not to be missed!!!!

DITTO, get a taxi

[prodigal gardener]

Karl reckons that the battery should be charged up enough in an hour, but if not then I will get a taxi, I have a hairdressers appointment at half 3 and I could really do without the car playing about today of all days. Notice it dont break down on a work day - it does it on a purpose - bloody hell

[nightowl]

It doesn't really sound like a flat battery KL, if you'd only just been driving it

Is there nobody you can get a jump start from?? Have you asked Karl what else it might be?

[Amo]

Well she's been quite for a couple of hours. Do you think she's truckin'?

[prodigal gardener]

Hi All, been out trucking and it was FABULOUS, I loved it - cant wait for my next lesson. The car was fine after all that - think we need a new battery, Karl is going to have a look at weekend. I really enjoyed it, it was great. Points to remember:- its wide and long and dont go round corners like a car you have to steer out to get round. It has 8 gears but unloaded you use the top 4/5 it pulls away in 3rd from stop. DO NOT CROSS ARMS WHEN STEERING just because you have been driving for 20 years you have to push/pull steer when your on your test This is what I drove today (its off me phone so its not very good)



Ooooooooooooooooo it was great - want to have another go ;D

[Missredhead]

Whens the next lesson then?

Well done BTW ;D

[Amo]

[prodigal gardener]

Next lesson Weds 23/04/08 2 hours. Instructor is on holiday next week I cant wait. ;D

[Shrubrose]

Ooooooooo well done KL. ;D ;D ;D

[farmersboy]

Well done Karlslass,knew an Essex gal could do it,
I used to think it was easier than a car,once you get used to it,cos your sitting high,you can see situations better,eg roundabouts,
As you said,you must go wide at corners,remember the rear wheels dont follow the front.

[Barbara]

well done, soooooo proud of you.

[Biggles]

Wonderful news Karlslass--Keep going--you can show the men that women can do the same as a man --even better!-Bigs

[nightowl]

Well done Karlslass!!!!

I know you are gonna be great cos you are so chuffed with yourself!! I thought they normally taught people with a flat-bed trailer but I suppose you might as well go in the deep end with a box trailer

I came away from my first experience of driving a truck knowing that I would never make a truck driver (something about reversing on mirrors just didn't compute in my brain)

[Deleted]

Good for you KL keep it up.

[Ruthie]

Yipee!! Well done K/L!! You know you're gonna be good at this don't you? I think of myself as a good driver but I HATED my driving lessons! If you love the lessons you're 1/2 way there I reckon!
