Mercedes-Benz competition
The Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy is looking for “Britain’s Best Young Driver” – and I might enter!
Apparently you’ve just got to be over the age of 16 – check – and 1.5 meters tall or higher – check.
You don’t even need to have passed your practical driving test – although that’s not an issue for me anyway.
My only problem is that it costs £45 or £80 to have a go, depending on which challenge you enter, and that’s quite a lot of money.
However, if you win you get to be a Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy VIP for a whole year!
What does that entail? Well, you’ll get to go to exclusive events, meet celebrities, test-drive brand new Mercedes vehicles, and apparently, states the website, ‘much more besides‘.
I’d really quite like to give it a go. Even if I don’t win, the experience of having driven around famous race and test circuits for a competition would definately be something to talk about.
I might get a few of my friends to enter as well, just so that I’ve got people I know to compete against...

Magical pomegranates might be the elixir of life
I’m sure I’m not alone in experiencing those days where I clamber into the driver’s seat of my car, catch a glimpse of my washed out face reflected in the rear view mirror, and pray that my face will not continue to show undeniable evidence that I am becoming older every year.
Well, it seems that someone may have been listening to my prayers (and probably everyone else’s too) as a study has apparently revealed that pomegranate juice may actually have the powers to slow down the ageing process!
Ok, it sounds too good to be true, but pomegranates have already been linked with preventing heart disease and keeping stress levels down, and now researchers in Spain have discovered that the juice reduces the typical wear and tear of DNA.
This sounds fantastic! Not only will I be getting in one of my five-a-day, but I will be maintaining the beautiful, youthful face of a young driver.
Furthermore, when I turn 26 I won’t need to struggle so much to find an excellent young women’s car insurance quote, but I’ll still have the enviable visage which many 18 to 25s take for granted. Fingers crossed.
Excellent, next stop the supermarket!
