🎉🎉🎉 Huge congratulations go to Mara today on passing her driving test in Chesterfield this morning 🎉🎉🎉 Not only did you have to keep your nerves under control, but also adapt to the very different hire car that I currently have, a massive well done 🎉🎉🎉

🥰 This journey started as pupil/instructor, but has become a wonderful friendship that I cherish. I am so proud to see you pass and cannot wait for the many adventures we will have together sharing the driving responsibilities 😅 I'm so proud of you 😘

🎉🔥🎉 Huge congratulations go to Jessica who passed her test FIRST TIME yesterday in Chesterfield 🎉🔥🎉

I was unable to take her, so she did it in her own car and absolutely smashed it! I've thoroughly enjoyed our lessons together and am so proud of you - stay safe on the roads and best of luck with everything in the future xx

🚗 It was a busy day in the little mini yesterday at Great British Car Journey with lots of fun had by all the Junior Drivers 🚗 I even met another 'Mini' (the gorgeous little dog in the picture) 🐶 And what a sight in the workshop 🔧 it's such a privilege to be part of the team here 😊

It doesn't always have to be about 4 wheels, sometimes 2 will do 🏍 it certainly highlights how dinky "Daisy" the Hijet is 💜😅

🚗 Not a motorsport Sunday, but definitely one filled with fun and adventure in our funky little day van 🚙 Breakfast at Ashover Rock, a sneaky car show and a walk round Codnor Reservoir
🦢🦆🚙
Then, we met the wonderful DRONGO'S Photographic Creations whilst taking a pit stop among some amazing motorbikes 🏍 at Low On Fuel Cafe . Our little van certainly turned some heads! 😊
🚙 just look at the freedom your licence and a set of wheels can bring 😊 that is why I love what I do 🚗

🏁Sunday was all about a slightly more sediate form of "MotorSport", in fact, it was no competition at all! Just a really fun drive amongs some amazing cars on another scenic tour 🚗 Such a fantastic way to explore new roads, have some fun and chat to other car enthusiasts🚗

This one was particularly special because we met up with another Saxo enthusiast in his VTS and this year marks the Saxo's 30th Birthday 🎂(although they are no longer produced 😢)

"When you gave me driving lessons, I really enjoyed them and learned a lot. I really appreciated the effort and care you put into every lesson, which was one of the reasons I always felt so comfortable driving with you. That's one of the main reasons I thought it would be great if my sister could learn from you too."

What a message to receive from a previous pupil asking if I will now teach his younger sister 😊

😄 Just look at the fun being had on a sunny evening, locally, in an every day car 😄

⏱️This was my view from the start line on Wednesday whilst waiting for my turn to get around the course of cones as quickly as possible 🏁

🚗 This is an Auto Test, which is a very low cost event, involving both forward and reverse gears, that can be done in pretty much any car. All you need is local motorclub membership and a free Motorsport UK Competition Licence to be able to enter! 🚗

I am a huge advocate of honing your driving skills into something fun, if you would like any more information about these types of events please don't hesitate to ask.
