Default I got my P's!
I just got my P's.. it was very super easy. Finally too (should've had them 5 months ago, but due to some complications, didn't get them at that time).

Its made my day :

Nice one mate! Great feeling isn't it. Getting them is easy - getting rid of them is NOT SO EASY!

But the AU will be in better nick IMO. The Department of Transport is really tough on cabs for roadworthyness, alot of them may look like poo, but underneath everything is 100%. And plus, I know its history mostly (my dad was driving the thing at one point).

Plus its already on LPG.. that's a big bonus.

Congratulations. I remember how excited I was when I got my P's.

I also remember being even more excited the day I was finally able to throw away the P plates!

Onya Steffo keep your cool..don't be badly influenced by others.

Just a minor point I got my licence long before the dreaded P plate but it was just as the points system came in , in NSW I was 1 point off losing my licence in the first 3 mths.

So steffo be cool I'd like to be talking to you on here in 20yrs time sport..be cool.
