And Finally...

Drum roll please...

We have a car, and we passed our driving tests.

Test itself was a piece of piss, even though I failed a couple of bits.  Apart from not realising a 4-way stop had 2 stop lines - AND I SAY AGAIN ROUNDABOUTS!!!! - I wasn't remotely familiar with the size and general handling of the new car, so my parallel parking and reversing around a corner were a bit pants.  Still, we passed and that's what matters.

We signed the credit agreement on the car (a ruinous 11%, but I'm told in 3 months we should be able to refinance for a better deal) and took delivery of our new Honda.

So that's almost everything about moving done.  Final step, we need to find a Doctor.

You'll never convince most Americans that roundabouts are anything but something thought up by Evil Furriners (are there any other kind?) to confuse Right Thinking 'Merrikuns. I know that when they try putting in roundabouts down here in the Bay Area, there is inevitably much hue and cry about what horrible confusing dangerous things they are and that they must be immediately ripped out.

Yes, my fellow Americans can be pretty stupid sometimes.
