Nine minors! NINE! I might as well give up now! 
I got 4 hesitations (f*cking busy roundabout. Hesitation. Me? Whould wouldv'e thought?
), 3 mirrors (2 for not checking mirrors before braking, 1 for not checking a mirror before turning) and 1 observation during my reversing manouver, which was a parallel park, and lastly 1 for control during moving off, because I think I got wheelspin at one point. 
Also, new seats fit good. Had to use the old rail for the passenger side, as the one on the new seats was too long.
I'm going out for a drive in my baby tomorrow, as I don't have to be in college 'til 11.

Nice one mate, such a good feeling those first few times you can drive by yourself!

Top man!
Hesitation minors are good, if you pulled out and car had to brake... Hello major!
Go steady in that sj, oh and welcome to world of motoring.
Tax
Insurance
And 1.33.9 for a litre of diesel.
Oh and my personal fav... road rage!

I thought the same, better to hesitate than have to brake.
I've been out a few times in it now. To drive, it's great! Absolute dream. Noisy though, especially around 70mph, which it will do by the way without much protesting, though I wouldn't stick at it for long. Definatly asking for another gear....or two. 6 speed SJ, imagine that.
Exhaust clatter came back again, so this time I've bolted in two short extentions to the exhaust hangers, above the back box that's about half an inch long and at the rear-most one that's about an inch, making it an inch or so lower at the end, which give plenty of clearance.
New seats are great. Thanks Tom from Barnsley.
I didn't tell my Mum this, but this morning early was frosty, and on a little backroad in the village, there's an uphill curve in the road, and round there I had my first rear end wheel spin on the frosty road Such a wierd feeling, even though it only stepped out a tiny bit. Kinda like when you're leaning back on a chair, and you almost fall before you catch yourself on something.
Did my first drive through at McDonalds too.

When I first picked up my current SJ it had a set of wheels on that I wasnt keeping, the guy wanted them back. So on my trip home I had the back wheels spinning at every opportunity! Not my tyres

I love wacking on the old standard wheels every now and then, I can get so much tyre talk on the roads it's rad!
