Driving - I really am running out of things to put the word 'Advancing' to
This weeks lesson was actually really good compared to last weeks. I did say that it was becoming a bit mundane but that's because I wasn't really doing much interesting. But this one was very good. A whole lot composed and fluent. No stalls. A chance for some overtaking. A recovered missed gear. Yes, I did go a bit blank with the parallel park and I did have to re-correct myself with bay parking (to the left, but amazingly parking to the right was done in one shot). I also get the feeling that the Silver Lining is actually a bit of a pocket rocket; it feels go-kart-esque in the corners. Maybe that's a long shot but that's what it feels like. It does take a while to get 70mph but it's really nippy in the corners. And uphills. I tackled the dreaded Millman Hill, that I attacked from the top and worked my way down a few weeks ago. Now, I've not really been good with hills and since this is one of the steepest in Lincoln, I thought I was gonna get eaten by it before I got to the brow. But nope, straight up with a gear change! This is epic. Next week comes my last legal hour. 20 hours would have been added up and I can officially take my test. After my Theory of course.
