Taking the car for a spin

Drove the halmobile for the first time today. Damn, was that car -- a Daihatsu Charade -- built for short people, or what? The visibility when I'm driving it wasn't as bad as I'd feared, but then I've not had to drive with the visor down yet. If it's anything like being a passenger then I'll be driving blind. The other thing I've noticed is that when I'm driving I can't actually see the speedometer because the steering wheel gets in the way. I actually have to duck my head to check I'm not speeding.

In strong winds it drives like a wardrobe on a skateboard.

Today was also my first time driving on my own. I kinda felt like I shouldn't be behind the wheel -- like I'd get in trouble if anyone caught me. Felt like a joyrider.
