Balls! The date of my driving test has been a closely guarded secret since I booked it, known only to me and my driving instructor. However, I've just realised that I am STUPID and have inadvertently revealed it to my mother by booking a bunch of house viewings at the time when my driving lesson usually is - I know, of course, that I won't be having one, because that particular day is just after my test date. She doesn't know that - or she didn't until now. BALLS!
I could probably reclaim the situation by casually dropping in to conversation that I rescheduled my lesson for that week because [insert plausible reason here], but man. MI5 made the right choice - I would never have cut it as a spy. Subterfuge is totally beyond my capabilities, on account of me being, as my icon says, dumb as a box of hair.
BALLS!!!
So, on a related but different note, a poll. I can't decide what kind of car to get, so I thought I'd ask the great LJ gods (i.e. you lot) for your thoughts.
This is a Ford KA, and this is the Ford Fiesta. Any thoughts, my flist?

Well, they're almost out of business as it is, and that's with 0% financing and all sorts of other incentives. It just goes to show you how different things are between our economies I guess.

Date: 2008-03-27 03:33 am (UTC)Right now it's low financing, cash back, a deluxe package of extras free and a baby with the bath water if you play your cards right at the dealers. *g*

Date: 2008-03-26 09:28 pm (UTC)If you must have one, go for the car that uses less gas. Since the barrel is going to be at $150 one day, it's prudent to go for the ones which uses less gas.

Date: 2008-03-27 11:15 pm (UTC)I have a Ford Escort station wagen/ estate car, I'm not sure what it's called where, and I'd never again go for any smaller car. It's easier for people in the back to get in when you have 4 doors and the cargo area is just awesome! But that's just comfortable old me who sometimes has up to seven dogs in the car :D
