Trading our manual car in for an automatic...  and by doing so, being legally able to drive in the UK and not ever having to deal with the stoopid DVLA ever again (about licences anyway)!!! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

You lucky duck!  :)  I'm glad that one of us has escaped the clutches of the DVLA. Enjoy your freedom!

Thanks Tanis!  We're well chuffed and we pick the car up tomorrow.  To top it off, we also got a loan for the difference in the trade in - our first credit in the UK!!  We just killed two birds with one stone and it all happens on our anniversary of landing in the UK.

When my 24 boxes arrived shortly after I got here, it felt like Christmas!!!  (I even forgot what I packed in some of them!!)

Have fun!!  ;D

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.
