Usually such a feeling is seen here as being associated with someone having their first drive in their just completed car.... you are happy for an entirely different reason. Getting back to the car you have.

Well done Bryan.

I'll alert the media.

Congrats on passing the exam.

Byran,

That's fantastic news. Seeing you at the Nationals it was obvious you missed not being there with you cobra. No longer a problem and look forward to seeing you driving it again.

Sight is a precious thing, taken for granted by many. To have it restored/ improved is a marvel of modern technology. Congradulations and welcome back to the driving fraternity. Eye exercises are crucial....cruise the beaches in the summer.

Thanks for all the good wishes from all my friends here at club Cobra It has been 14 months since my stroke, it's a long time without a drivers license.
Cheers,
Bryan
