Passed My Test :)

[DazzaP]

Passed my driving test there yesterday (thursday) to my surprise! Had a healthy amount of minors :P had to use emergency stop on a ****** pulling out in his Baleno. Insured and been driving around in the Yaris all day, nice little car but mine is pulling badly to the left.

Anyway congrats to me :D

Congratulations, was that ur 1st test?

[DazzaP]

Yeah first time, which surprised me the most. I was lucky and got one of the female examiners, which are more lenient around these parts. Just enjoying the freedom at the minute and resisting the urge to speed. I'm actually surprised at how nervous i am out alone and tend to just sit at a nice speed and watch the world go by :)

Anyway cheers and i will post up with any problems

P.S Is there reports of any gearbox problems with 1st gen Yaris'? Especially going into 2nd gear from first? Noticed it twice tonight but thought maybe its just my lazy clutch work :P

Hi DazzaP

Well done. Now be careful on the roads now wont you ;) About the gearbox thats quite common on the yaris. I find if you change gear more slowly from 1st to second it's a lot better. But nothing to worry about as you will find thats quite a common complaint on here ;)

jerry!!

bravo chum, take it easy :)

[Ryan1985]

Well played mate, I usually drive slowly aswell!

[DazzaP]

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Might scrounge enough cash together to get a CD player and some decent Speakers, as the standard Toyota ones are awful and its annoying listening to radio1 as they play terrible music :P

Jobhunting im must go!

[knightrider]

gears jus be easy on it the yaris prefers you to be soft on it, u can stil change fast but real soft like a laydee!

[mark_n]

Well done.

Top effort fella! Great feeling passing a test first time!

1st gear doesn't like to be engaged above 10/15mph really, (when slowing obviously) so unless you're in traffic, just stop in 2nd, then shift to 1st, you'll get the hang of it eventually!

Also, make sure your left foot is welded to the floor when changing gear as the clutch NEEDS to be fully in unlike some other cars that let you get away with half a press!

[DazzaP]

True true! Washed the car today and gave it a thorough T-cut, so many black dots all over it, either tar or cow !Removed! but it takes some effort to shift. Anyway heres a pic.

Congratulations!

Nice Yaris
