Apologies to anyone who doesn't get it, but I find this sort of thing rather satisfying...

The picture of my 500 in my avatar was taken on its 50,000 mile "birthday".
Didn't take a photo of the odometer though. Does that make me a non-saddo?
I was 19 at the time so claim inexperience.

It sounds like you've started the probationary period and after a few more years of practice may become fully qualified!

Mines been past that twice, never been photographed though, digital cameras were late in arriving in my home, only really got a decent one when my brother bought me a phone with one built in when our first child was born.
