    Love my cars, after Football and * they're my favourite thing.

    Got a Corsa 1.2 SXI just now and it's been a great wee car (apart from not having Air Con). First car was a Daihatsu Sirion 1.3 SX which was brand new and amazing but I was only 17/18 so really struggled to pay for it. Went 9 mesirable months without a car until I decided to buy a "cheap" runabout which was an old Clio 1.2 RN Provence for £750.

    The * cost me a fortune there was something wrong with it every week and it constantly let me down. I ended up getting a letter from the RAC saying I'd get charged if I made 1 more call out!!! Took the miserable piece of * to a scrappy in Coatbridge and got £110 for it.

    I'm not picky.
    First car I had was this -

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][​IMG]

    [/FONT]Fiat Brava 1.4L petrol. Wasn't a bad runabout to be honest and was a decent first car as well.

    Paled in comparison to my next car though -[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

    [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [​IMG][/FONT]


    Honda Civic ES 2.2cdti Diesel. Was a beauty of a car and I loved it. Very smooth drive, pretty quiet, roomy on the inside as well and was VERY quick.

    Unfortunately I had to sell it when I moved to America though as was far too expensive for me to get shipped over :54:

    I had problems with my first car 206.

    I would never ever buy a french car ever again. Peugeot's or
    renaults and im not the only one.

    My golf, was a wonder to drive. Fantastic car. It was actually a smooter drive than my bm.

    German cars all the way :50:

    Yet to even buy my first car! I will be getting one within the next few months. I need to let my leg heal first before I can pass my test. No idea what I am going to get not looking to spend more than £3000-£3500 and preferably a non thirsty, reliable, wee motor.

    You could get a nice wee car for that price no problem. You'd need to have a wee bit to spend on insurance, sometimes its more expensive than the car! Depending on your particulars.

    Nah I am an ancient 28 years of age and work in insurance, its no danger. As long as the engine size is not too high I will be around £6-700 for my first year till I earn NCD.

    Fair enough, you are ancient





    :bbpd: :p

    I take it you will get some sort of discount for working in insurance?

    Home, motor and travel insurance underwriting, but the whole point of me finally getting around to driving is that I want to be a paramedic, need my licence for that,.

    Just a normal job lol. I'm an old * m8. 23 Now. Things get cheaper, insurance and stuff. That golf was just a 1.4. Set a wheels, lowered and tints and was a gti lookalike lol.

    The younger you pass your test, the cheaper it gets.
