Good luck fella.
I only passed my test last month. No idea why I put it off for so long. I bought myself a Peugeot 206 1.4i on Monday. I can't stop driving everywhere. Vrrrrooom! --------------------  |

Oooo, nice one
 I'll be driving a Fiat Punto 1.2 8V for the first few months at least. Doesn't sound much but I've put a small supercharger on it and now it goes like stink Well done on passing your test. You said you put it off for so long, how old are you now? -------------------- |

I'm 24. I used to just walk everywhere as everything is local to me *cough* pubs.
 Now I can drive to my nearest super market and pick up essential supplies... beer.  -------------------- |

I bet you've got a pretty high insurance premium as a new driver on a car like that
 Hopefully by that stage I would have earned a 60% discount by then xD -------------------- |

Aye, the cheapest I can find so far is about £850 (I've currently got 7 days free insurance).
I've got a 'Toad' alarm/immobiliser install as well (worth £500). But unfortunately no certificate to prove it. I'm gonna have to send off for it. But that will bring my insurance down. Also I turn 25 in August which will bring it down again. Just have to play the waiting game. This post has been edited by Lucage on February 14, 2008 10:33 pm -------------------- |

My driving instructor brought a new car along today - instead of the usual Ford Ka it was a Citroen C3. Man, what a machine!
It felt so levely to drive. the steering was smooth and intuitive, the speed couner was a massive LCD display (like a calculator) and the tachometer was a thin strip at the top with an arrow running along it. You can just see the cool display and rev counter here  The engine was excellent aswell: Low revs sounded like a tuned up rally car, you know, with that whistling sound (yeah, I know it sounds a bit daft, but it really did), and at 3000 rpm on the dot there was a suprisingly strong surge of power, but the car hardly rolled or tilted. Magic I probably won't be able to get an insurance quote on one though, the one I drove was the 1.4i which pushes it on expensive side of group 3  *edit* hang a bout, that whistling could have been a turbo charger, which would make it a diesel... Hmmmm  This post has been edited by SDWBOSS on February 15, 2008 11:23 pm -------------------- |

Unlucky, dude :S What are of the test is it that you fail? 'Cause if it's a specific part, maybe it'll be worth concentrating on that part before your next test.

I had no minor fails, just one fault which they failed me on - I braked at a set of traffic lights which had just gone amber, but for some reason the car didn't seem to slow down much, and so I rolled past the line just as they turned red, and so had to carry on.
