    More than likely you can expect a fat smelly slob who's nothing but a steering wheel holder. What company is this?

    Make sure he let's you do all the backing. If he doesn't, request a new one.

    I believe the company is really irrelevant

    Hey now......that was one of my favorite threads of all time, here! LOL

    Wasn't to point out a particular company. That's just what this, now infamously classic thread, was titled. Was due for a revival & the opening occured. :p

    I'm sure natural processes occur equally EVERYWHERE ....... LOL! :angel9:

    Luck out to you, just the same. Remember how much I was both excited & nervous back in the beginning. :thumbup:

    Not true, some companies force you to drive team with somebody that's just slightly more experience than you. Other companies want you to do most of the driving and your trainer is sitting next to you
     
    ladr Thanks this.

    Do you have prior experience because 10k miles isnt much even if you do 100% of the driving.. Thats 2 to 4 weeks max.. Depending if its team or solo miles...
