and forgot to add. When I was looking for my first car a fiesta was going to be about £1500 TPFT and a series 3 diesel landy £800 fully comp.

I didnt go with a landy then as I felt I wanted to get used to other idiots on the road in an easy power stering etc car rather than a landy that I would have to concentrate alot on the car as well as the road.

I love my rover :D




I have heard that the driving age is now 18 years old. could make a difference on the roads but i doubt it. :cry:

kizz81:
the driving age is still 17! alot of my mates are taking driving lessons and there 17. i cant start untill easter  :o

i think that people my age should only be allowed to drive cars that they have bought, really annoys me when peoples parents buy them a car, i had to buy my 90 and i will pay my dad fully for the insurance because its cheaper that way £450

 :oops: OK, perhaps a tad over-the-top there, how about a bhp restriction then ?

Thats what happened with the Motorcycle test as any biker will tell you.
If under 21 when you pass test you get restricted to 33bhp, after 2 years the restriction is lifted. If over 21 you can take test on bigger bike (33bhp+) and have no restriction  :D

My idea to stop this carnage is simple - when you pass your test, regardless of how old you are, you should only be allowed to buy/drive/have given to you a 1.0l car, not supercharged or turbo'd, just a bog-standard, 1.0l 55hp old banger. Then once you've done 2 years of accident, and incident free driving you can 'upgrade' to something slightly bigger (1.4l...... :twisted: )

What a stupid idea.
Why not do it on performance. I drive a 3.5 V8 range rover, but it was still pretty much the slowest thing to 60 in my school car park!
I skidded on diesel and managed to demolish a stop sign...no injuries other than a bent sign and a dented bumper/bonnet...in a corsa or similar chances are i would have ended up spending taxpayers money on an ambulance and hospital treatment...

EDIT: (more posts in the meantime)

My 2 rangies which i use, i paid for, i pay to tax and insure and i pay for most of the fuel in them as well.
My vectra i paid for and pay to insure as well, but the insurance is ridiculous so it's gotta go.

BTW im 19 in april for those who didnt know.

TDi90:
i second that JJ saol, what a STOOOOOPID idea... a life without my landy cos its more then 1.0L NO WAY uh uh, aint gonna happen mate.
