Doh!

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?

I've had a KA for five years before the one I have now. I absolutely loved it! It's great to drive =) You always find a parking lot. And except for one not so expensive thing nothing had to be done during those 5 years! My sister, a friend, and I even once managed to go camping for three weeks in Spain with just the KA! I have very fond memories of the KA. The only reason I switched was that I needed a bigger car for the dog. But my sister has had the KA since then (2004) and still no repairs have been needed up until now. It's 11 years old and in great shape.

That's a very glowing testimonial! :) Thanks. I'll certainly bear that in mind. I think I'm leaning towards the Fiesta, as it should last me longer in terms of offering enough space for later in life etc., but it's good to know that they're reliable, and I may yet change my mind (again). *g*

Well if you are planning ahead for more space I'd rather take the Fiesta.

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
