Something like that happened to my friend.

lol cool i dunno why people say instructors are so bad as they make them out to be, both examiners i had we very nice even tho i failed the first time i dont blame it on harsh markings

yo buy the new redline mag with a perfect PUG on the front. In the redpages it has a forking cool vauxhall corsa, with the baddest bodykit and widearches compleyely done up well for £4,500. Bloody great price, you'd pay that for a standard clio in good condish.

Advice from the master

im not ruch mate :P i gotta take notice of the insurance too
for a corsa its about 1500 for a fair quality one, and insurance is 1200!
im going in for my pass plus asap get some money knocked off my high insurance

i really want a mini like my brother so we can drive around like the italian job

i sooo need a proper job now too much outgoing money :P

I agree it's a good price, but i don't see why people bother to spend money modifying their cars to make them sound and go faster, and making them look flashy. Personally, i'd rather own a really good car, like a Jaguar, rather than getting something like a Citroen Saxo and modifying it to look exactly like something out of 2 Fast 2 Furious. Eventually at a certain age, most guys turn into absolute 2 Fast 2 Furious fanboys, and they pop an erection everytime a Skyline passes by them. The only thing i see worth changing in a car is a nice interior to make it comfortable, anything useful like Navigation systems, good sound system, and that's it.

honistly im not touching my car cause its so easy to make a car look crap, i have the speaker system donated from my good brother (his old stuff) he saved for me, and he will help me fit it, but frankly all those body mods are just going to crap the car up, plus im not really a speed demon on the roads i dont really want to start. lol the other day i was thinking about getting the older version of the micra lol mmmm granny car :P but hella cheap insurance

basically if it gets me and my mates to college and maybe out at lunch that would be cool

Good thing you are on the other side of the pond, or else I would'nt be going on any public roads anymore X__X

lol thanks for the incouragement ill try to keep the car on the roads rather than the path if i visit the US :P

You're thinking along the right lines trev, for your first car don't overspend - it will probably end up with a few bumps and scrapes until you settle into the roads a bit more.

I'd go for a Ford Ka myself, cheap to run and nice insurance cost, just a word of advice
