probably the stupidest idea ever if you wanted to keep the price low to post the ebay link on here tho, esp with 9 days to go...

Indeed, but young ones, so much passion, so little control, oh the days of past when one was agile and memory was sharp

Petes a busy bloke, and he told you he'd be a while before he'd have that car for sale.

Good luck on getting the white one though, Steve showed this too me earlier, and I was keen. Is that you bidding now? Just I seem to remember being outbid by a "3467edward"

And Germ, we arn't ageist... most of us are everythingist

Thing is, most of us remember what we were like when we got our first cars, for me that was 6 years and 90,000 miles ago. I had a very bad experience and nearly took out 2 random's standing next to a broken down car on the hard shoulder not long after I got my car, and out of my sixth form there were way too many accidents. Most comments are tongue in cheek, others are trying to offer some caution.

^^ Lucky bugger

i pay my own from yesterday

Post by **A M R** » 19 Mar 2007 02:09 am

no thats not me bidding but im up for it if it goes to £500 or so. sent the geezer a email asking how much he wanted for it to buy it now.

germ - dads paying because he still owes me for my 18th and 19th birthdays and its 'only' a grand, but thats pretty good on a 2 litre.

might have sorted me a job at debenhams as well, so no more dole for me

Yea, 10 years ago when bought my first it was really bad deal, car was real rust bucket, it consumed more oil than fuel (even when not driven it lost oil) and what I did pay from it I would got some decent runner.

Then I got even worse deal after that from one car, still being one and passionate without any level of control

But it is part of growing up, after 10 years A M R will laugh to his car car car thread, I'm sure of that

Young ones, shall I again start remembering my days of youngster? Even I'm not old still, I'm sure some members are much more senile than I here

About 9 years since i got my first car (i was 27 last week), a red Renault 5 GT Turbo.

Awesome car, but i didnt know much about cars then so it couldve been looked after and tuned better, but it taught me a lot and my 2nd one (bought when i was 19) was awesome thanks to what i learnt with the 1st one.

Im a strong believer of getting a decent powerformance car if you want one right from the start. You need willpower to drive sensible and not beyond your limits, but if you do that you learn to drive a more powerful car a lot easier.
IMO its the people who have a dead slow car at first and get used to being able to rag it to its limits and still be in no danger who end up in tears, as they take these bad habits to the powerful car, not realising not all cars are like that.

I was lucky, my driving instuctor knew i was getting a fast car and as he was a bit of a madman we had a few lessons of how to drive bloody fast and not crash.

So yeah, ive no problems with a 17y/o driving a Veyron if they wanted, just need to know your limits.
Id rather a new driver get straight in a Veyron than go from a 1.1 Saxo for 2years then in to one!

my dads first car was a brand new ford anglia quite a fast machin in the day he did 100mph on his 17 birthday in it.

he didnt have a cortina till later in the 60's

he had 2 spitfires a lotus elan jaguar rover sd1 tr6 and millions of other cars he is very lucky guy to of driven all this .

i guess his fun stopped 1989 becouse of me

last test car was mx-5 1990

^^ lots of those were fast cars and i guess thats how his driving is ace and touch wood he has never had an accedent since ive been born(and he drives fast

)

My first car was hyundai coupe

1.3 accent of 1995 had it for4 weeks then sold it to my sister.
^^ very nice car quite fast as it weighed 800kg with 85hp

second car and all of you seem to of forgoten is it was one of my first posts: volvo 340 dl had it for a week it got stolen and drowend.

Third car: Volvo 340 Redline 1.7 present coolness

Also the bmw 2002 could be regarded as mine in which case thats my first or second car. and this is a 2 litre 160hp flyer

but cant use it due to not having french plates.

Thats the line up

Cheers

Ditto-well apart from the fact of the fast first car-1256cc Chevette for me.
But the old fella was still well into rallying so told the instructor to do a few lanes to get the feel.
To be honest it wouldn't do any harm to be part of a test in my humble opinion.
