Testing times


Yay i passed my test. I got really nervous just before it started, then i made a right cock up of my pre trip, then started grinding gears for the first time in a week. But at the end i got a pass and i'm once again a class 1 driver. Here's a picture of the truck, it's a 1994 Kenworth and was first owned by H&R so it probably has about 2 million kms on it's back, and believe me it feels like it. When you brake hard it pulls violently to the left! you can turn the steering wheel half a turn each direction changing direction! The gear stick just flops about where ever it wants. And the clutch is so heavy i was limping for 3 days. So now i've got my ticket i can go on my mentor trip to california, can't wait.
