Wait a sec, are my eyes seeing correctly, are the new mario kart and new f-zero being realeased in practically the same month, thats silly nintendo.

Surely it will mean that people will choose 1 over the other (prob mario) and therefor bring down sales of the other. I know i will only be buying 1.
Why not realease them with a big gap between and then they might both sale as well as each other.

I am totally shocked that my parents have offered me this.

The car was actually part mine... it broke down and if I pay to get the gears fixed (about a hundred) then It's all mine.

My parents aren't too rich. I pay £150 rent a month, I pay for my own clothes, buy my own food 3 times a week, pay my own way in fact in everything.

Even the internet I pay for.

But my parents got a load of money though and they thought they'd treat their boys and a good way of treating us productivly is to pay for driving lessons.

Lucky my parents are willing to pay for the lessons and I already have a car... Saving me almost a grand.

But that's still a lot for insurance.

Well it's a false statistic.

A 2 hour lesson a week for a few months should do the trick.

If you are bad and new to the entire thing like me then you are looking at 4 months. About 16 2-hour lessons at around £30 a pop (sometimes more... depends)so lets round it to £500.

£30 for your provisonal lisence.

About £20 for your theory...

Some more for your pratical...

About a 1.2 grand for insurance...

£30 for tax and bit more for M.O.T

Lets say 400 for the car...

So over 2 grand is about right.

But 40 driving lessons... no way.

Statistics are supposed to be peculiar.

I know I am not, I was being jokingly confident. 'They say 40 lessons'. Hmm. If thats true, all my friends haven't got a clue how to drive, and yet, oo they have liscences and in fact are not maniacs, and none of them have killed themselves. How odd...........

An ideal way to travel quickly is by roller blades; the only problem I face is that some folk either won't get out the way, otr purposely trip you up when going at top speed.
