About Me

Driving: Learning to Drive and Buying a Car

Welcome to my blog. My name is Stevie. I only learnt to drive much later in life. I was so excited to get behind the wheel as an older person. Once I had passed my test, I didn't think I had anything else to learn. However, once I started looking to buy a car, I discovered I had much more to learn. My friend helped me to find a good car and recommended accessories and parts which I could buy to jazz it up. He also helped to teach me about basic car maintenance. I started this blog to map out everything I have learnt about the automotive world.
