👏🇵🇱 DOSKONAŁE PODANIE 🇵🇱👏

Let’s hear it for the one & only…

💪 KATARZYNA ZYSKOWSKA (Kasia) 💪
(Thank god for copy & paste because that name’s above my pay grade 😂)

AKA…

🔥 “THE POLISH BROWNIE” 🔥
Queen of the fake tan… although some weeks she rocks up looking like a tiger loaf 🍞😂

WELL… SHE’S ONLY GONE & SMASHED IT 💥💪🎉

Oi oi 😎👊
Kasia has absolutely NAILED her Skillz Day in Montrose with…

🎯 ZERO FAULTS 🎯

Starting from scratch, tonnes of self doubt, approximately 7 million questions a lesson 🤦‍♂️😂… but honestly, an absolute natural behind the wheel. The self doubt nearly killed me at times 🤯 but Instructor 😇 God simply took some confidence, wrapped it in a bow 🎁 and said:

“Here ya go lass… YOU CAN DO THIS 💪”

And she absolutely could.

Now… we’ve gone through:
🚗 My old car
🚗 My new car
🚗 Another newer car
🚗 HER car

…and every week about her carit was:

“Ugh the clutch is too high…”
“Ugh the gears feel funny…”

S**U KASIA 😂🤯

Every car has quirks — once you learn them, you adapt. And she proved that brilliantly driving FOUR different cars with no dramas 👏

Honestly there’s not even any outrageous near-death stories to tell 😂 just great chats, giggles, and some questions ranging from:
🙈 silly
🤔 outrageous
🙏 THANK GOD YOU ASKED THAT

NOW FOR THE BEST BIT…

As always, I ask:
“So… how did it go then?”

Kasia:
“Nah I failed at a junction…”

Meanwhile the examiner is stood there practically winking at me like 😉 “she’s passed mate.”

Then she starts listing MORE reasons she’s failed 🤦‍♂️😂

Finally the examiner cuts in with:
“Okay… you’ve PASSED.”

Kasia:
“Oh… but I got a few faults?”

Examiner:
“Nope. Fabulous drive.”

💥 ZERO FAULTS 💥

Trust the process. Trust me. Most importantly — trust yourself 💪

Kasia — you’ve been an absolute gem to teach. Lessons have been “perf” 😂 and I’m buzzing you trusted what I was telling you the whole way through.

I’ll set people up to pass all day long… but YOU blew my mind today 👏

Huge thanks to your mum & dad too for getting the extra practice in — it always helps build confidence, and they should be massively proud. You’re a credit to them ❤️. Always polite. Always on time. Never a bother. Now go enjoy the freedom 🚗💨

Instructor 😇 God
Over & Out

👏 WELL WELL WELL…ANOTHER DAVIDSON PASSING 👏

Let’s give it up for the one & only…

💪 MORGEN DAVIDSON 💪

“THEE ACTUAL NIGHTMARE” 😈
(Just absolutely LOVES not believing a word I say…then eventually realises I might actually know what I’m on about 🤣😎)

Has only gone n SMASHED IT!!! 💪😃🎉🎊

OI OI 😎👊 check it out — Morgen has grabbed herself a PASS, smashing her Skillz Day in Montrose with JUST 1 FAULT 😮‍💨🔥

Morgen came to me after hearing…
“I might be alright at this” 😏🤣
Aye, I might be…

She’d tried before but life gets in the way sometimes, and lucky for her she decided to give it another bash 💯

Lessons have involved:
🗣 endless chatting
😭 plenty tears
🤬 plenty moaning
🙈 dramatic mock tests
🤗 hugs at herself…maybe me too 😂

Ask her about mock tests 🤯
BLOODY HATED THEM 🤣

Hated the silence 🤫
Hated hearing herself complain 🙄
Hated getting things wrong 😑
Hated being left to think for herself 😱😂

BUT…

Eventually the penny dropped 💡💪. We changed things up, pushed different test conditions, and by jove I think she finally got it…

👉 S**U 🤣
👉 LISTEN 👂
👉 BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ❤️

And honestly? Once she clicked a few weeks ago…different driver altogether 😎🔥

NOW…JUST DON’T ASK HER TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE MAJOR FERRYDEN ROUNDABOUT 😭🤣🙈

Sweet Jesus Christ the carry on there over the months 🤯😂
UNTIL TODAY 💃🏻👏
Absolutely nailed it on test 😎💯

MOVING ON TO THE SKILLZ BITTY…

🤔🙄🙈🤣 YA ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IT 🎯💯🥇🤙

Skillz Day COMPLETE ✅

Honestly, cracking drive today.
You knew exactly what you were doing and looked comfortable doing it too 😎

I’ve had to push you HARD at times…test you…annoy you…probably send you into orbit now and then 🚀🤣

BUT LOOK AT THAT RESULT 👏

The examiner had basically nothing to say…think even he was sitting there like 👀 “wow actually” 🤣

Morgen — it’s been chaotic, hilarious, stressful and unforgettable all rolled into one 🤪😂❤️

But you finally pulled it all together and GOT IT DONE 💪

Now go enjoy your freedom 🚗💨
Hide your lad’s car 😭🤣
And NO MORE TRAINS…unless it’s a Prosecco-fuelled bender with Paige 🍾🥂 (another wild Davidson 🤣)

Massive thanks to dad/grandad too for getting the extra practice in 👏 always makes a huge difference 💯

Instructor 😇 God, over & out 🎤⬇️

👏 MUST BE A CONOR/CONNOR DAY FOR PASSES 👏

Let’s give it up for the one & only…

💪 CONNOR MARTIN 💪

“MR STRAWBERRY BLONDE” 🟠 (aye…sounds like a Reservoir Dogs character doesn’t it 😎)

Only gone and made it look easy… 💪😏🎉

Oi oi 👊 — Connor (with the extra N 😏) has only gone and bagged a PASS too…
Skillz Day in Montrose — 1 fault. Job done. 🫡



One of those rare ones…proper sponge 🧽
Show him once — he’s got it. No drama, no nonsense. From day one it’s just been smooth.
Cool head, steady driving, never flustered.

Where the other Conor’s all swagger…
this one’s just horizontal 😌

“Go try that”
“Aye alright”
does it perfectly

No fuss. No panic. Just gets on with it.

Asked if he was nervous today…
“wee bit” → “actually…nah not really” 🤷😂

Different breed.



🎯 SKILLZ DAY?

Handled.

Solid drive, knew exactly what he was doing…looked like he’d done it 100 times before.

Only thing…
couldn’t beat his brother’s zero faults 👀🤣

(Wasn’t bothered myself…your dad on the other hand…different story 😂😂)



Connor mate — been class.

No more trekking through the rain or hauling bags about…
you’ll be cruising about in the SilverBullet now 😎. Enjoy the freedom…
(and the bills that come with it 💸😂). Big thanks to your dad as well — all that extra practice paid off 👏

Instructor 😇 God…over & out ⚫️⚪️🔴

Let’s give it up for the one & only…

💪 CONOR TURNBULL 💪

“THE BIG EASY” (nod to a very famous golfer 🇿🇦 cool, calm, zero stress…plays it like he’s already been there, done it 😎⛳️)

Only gone and absolutely strolled it… 💪😏🎉

Yeeeeee 👊 — Conor’s just bagged himself a PASS, smashing his Skillz Day in Montrose with ONE fault…ONE 😮‍🔥

Not bad for a lad who spends half his time acting like he’s too chilled to care 😂. Make no mistake though…this boy’s got it. Listens (when he can be bothered 😏), sharp as anything, and just quietly gets the job done.

Aye he loves a “yeah yeah yeah”…aye he likes a wee faff…
…but stick him in the driver’s seat and he delivers. Every time. 🫡

Had to reign in the cocky swollocks slightly 🤏 — nothing major, just a wee reminder from The Instructor 😇 God via a mock test 💀🤣



🎯 SKILLZ DAY?
Different level.

Examiner: “Lovely drive, fabulous pass.”

Conor: “I knew I’d pass, told ya.” 😎

🤦‍♂️Mr Confident in his own ability eh

Conor ma man — been class.
Will miss the lessons, the nonsense, and the sport chats (no just football either 👀).

Future golfer in the making? Wouldn’t bet against it ⛳️

Big thanks to the folks for all the practice runs — be sound to them and you might get the Audi keys 👀😂. Don’t mug them off…you owe them big time 💸🤣

Instructor 😇 God…out. ⚫️⚪️🔴

21/04/2026

👏 ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER PASS 👏

Right…strap in, this one’s chaos 😂

Let’s give it up for the one & only…

💃🏻 GRACE GRANT 💃🏻

“THE ULTIMATE YAPPER” 🗣️
(First time she met Becca & I met Jack…me and Grace just non-stop yapping like two radios stuck on max volume while those two sat there like 😳 “soooo…lessons are like this aye?”…YES. YES THEY ARE 🤦‍♂️😂)

Has only gone n SMASHED IT 💪😃 🎉🎊

YES YES FUDGING YES 😎👊

GracieG rolls into Arbroath and casually bags herself a Skillz Day PASS with just 2 faults 🥇
Two faults…honestly thought the examiner would need an iPad more than anything else just to keep up 😂

Now…where do I even start…

2 hour lessons felt like 30 mins…mainly because Grace doesn’t actually breathe between sentences 🫁❌😂
And personalities? Oh aye…we’ve had a full cast:

🎭 Happy Grace
🎭 Raging Grace
🎭 “Can’t be arsed” Grace
🎭 Emotional wreck Grace
🎭 Buzzing her head off Grace

Honestly…like instructing on a rollercoaster 🎢 but I’ve loved every second of it 😂. And don’t let the chaos fool you…this wee cookie’s sharp 🍪. She was listening (occasionally between rants)…proof?

👉 SHE PASSED 👏😂

If you want a proper story though…ask her about the mahoosive scratches down her motor 🚗🤦‍♂️
Character building that…we’ll call it “hands-on learning” 🤪

RIGHT…ONTO THE SKILLZ BIT…

🤔🙄🙈🤣
🎯💯🥇🤙 YA ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IT

Best bit? The ending 😂
Grace comes back like…
“Why we done already? Something wrong??”
No Grace… that’s called a PASS in 40 mins 👍🤣

Then BOOM 💥
Hyper mode activated once she found out — absolute scenes, loved it 😂👏

Grace…what a journey 😮‍💨
Not sick of you…but definitely need a nap after you 😴😂. You’ve made Saturdays fly by and I’m buzzing you nailed it 💪. Now it’s your turn to drive…

👉 Jack = Passenger Princess 👸
👉 You = Taxi driver for life 🚕

No moaning…you owe him about 700 lifts minimum 😳😂

Instructor 😇 God…
OVER & OUT 🚗💨

⚫️ ⚪️ 🔴

20/04/2026

👏 BANGED OUT ANOTHER PASS 👏

Right troops, gather round…this one’s a belter 😎

Let’s give it up for the one & only…

💪 LOGAN VANNET 💪

“MR DEEP” 🎤
(Seriously…lad speaks and the ground vibrates. I’m 78 and still waiting on my voice dropping 🤦‍♂️😂)

Has only gone n absolutely SMASHED IT 💪😃 🎉🎊

YEEEEEEEEEE 😎👊

Check it out…Logan strolls into Montrose like he owns the place and casually fires in a Skillz Day PASS with just ONE fault 🤯🥇

ONE. FAULT.
That’s basically showing off.

Now let’s not forget…this wasn’t all sunshine n rainbows 🌈
The big man had a couple of “character building experiences” elsewhere 👀😂

Then mum steps in with the masterplan…
“WHO YA GONNA CALL?” ☎️
Nah not Ghostbusters ya rockets…

👉 THE INSTRUCTOR GOD 😇

And BOOM…we’re in business 💼

Straight away I spotted a few wee tweaks, dropped some elite-level wisdom (obviously), and Logan just ran with it 👏
That’s the difference — lad actually listens 😳😂

We clicked straight away and when that happens, it just flows. Doesn’t mean others aren’t good…just means sometimes you find your driving soulmate 😘🚗💨

And commitment? Don’t even start me…
⏰ Crack of dawn lessons
🎂 EVEN trained on his birthday
💪😂

NOW THEN…THE BIG DAY…

🤔🙄🙈🤣
NAW BUT SERIOUSLY…

🎯💯🥇🤙 YA SMASHED IT SON

Examiner: “Lovely drive, fabulous pass”
Logan: “I think I’ve failed…” 🤦‍♂️😂

Examiner again: “Mate…shut up, you were class” (basically)

Love that 😂👏

Logan — absolute gent, top lad, and a proper grafter. Been a pleasure mate 🙌
Enjoy the freedom, keep smashing that apprenticeship and you’ll go far 💪

Big shoutout to mum as well 👏
Don’t know what he’s like in the house…
…but out on the road? Different class 👀😂

Right…another one in the bag ✔️

Instructor 😇 God…
OVER & OUT 🚗💨

Happy 1st Birthday to Poppin’ piercings

Well…would ye look at this! 👀

Massive shoutout to my amazing wee sister for actually turning her passion into a real-life thing instead of just talking about it like the rest of us do after a few drinks 😂👏

Honestly, I love hearing folk raving about you and the work you do. What’s even funnier is how many of my past & present pupils keep popping in to see you… and every single one of them says the same thing — “She’s class!”

Which is awkward for me because it means you might actually be the talented one in the family 🤦‍♂️🤣

But genuinely… I’m super proud of you. Watching you build something you love is brilliant, and we all know mum would’ve been ridiculously proud too ❤️

Right… enough of the soppy nonsense before I start greeting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA LEGEND! 🎉

Now listen up troops…

👉 GET YOURSELVES OVER TO FORFAR THIS WEEKEND
Grab a great deal, enjoy the top-tier banter, grab a bit of cake, and maybe even a glass of fizzy “water” 🥂🤪

Support a wee local business and give the birthday girl a busy weekend!
