My name is Benjamin. I come from the UK (although I was born in New Zealand) and I have been described as having a ginger personality. Whatever that means. I assume they're referring to my hair and my Ronald Weasley nature. Aside from that, I'm the only male blogger worth knowing.

You can thank Amber for that lovely introduction, but you deserve much more than just a small paragraph showing my nutty nature, therefore if you do wish to find out more, please visit the

Car Hunting

It’s been 6 weeks since I passed my driving test, but still have had no car to drive around in! It is driving me insane. I have been trying non-stop to get a job.

For the people who do not know, I did have a car for when I passed my test, but unfortunately the day of my first driving test (which I failed, as I usually do when I try things first time), my dad was hit by a joy-rider and wrote off my brand new Citroen C2. ;(
Luckily, the money from the write-off will help pay for a few months of payments on a new car.

Today, I have been phoning garages left, right and centre to find out what finance options they have to offer on a Chevrolet Matiz, its a nice design and has everything I would want. After 2 hours of phoning, I found that not too far away, I found a garage which had a show-room car which was a year old and had CD player/Air Con which I felt were important features to have. :P
It is cheap, and looks promising. So if my dad finds the time on Monday, he will go have a look at it, and possible try and get any closer on buying me a car. If not, it will be next weekend, as we are all busy for the rest of the week.

6 weeks without driving a car. Wow, I am going to have trouble getting behind the wheel of a car when I get one. Let’s hope for no more crashes!
