too true

just be thankful you hadn't bought it off him yet! Glad to see you can laugh about it though

looks sweet bud, well impressed

If your car tax runs out whilst it's off road don't forget to get a SORN

I've only been pulled twice so far: 1st 'cause I was leaving a bar at 11pm (I worked there) and they were having a crackdown on drink drivers, so I wasn't bothered 2nd 'cause I only had 1 out of 3 rear brake lights working, he just told me to get it fixed ASAP

Is it not to do with people assuming it's safer in the middle lane? As in there's a bigger margin for error? Still does my nut in though

had about 15 'proper' lessons, but i failed my test first time, totally my fault. I wasn't thinking straight, got onto a dual-carriageway and assumed 70 mph speed limit. it was 50 mph. Quite a few of my friends did the same thing :s

S/he clearly knew exactly what s/he was doing. How no-one crashed I have no idea

I don't think it really matters, after all, learners are allowed to drive on dual carriageways (with supervision, of course) and motorways are, essentially, just dual carriageways with an extra lane. I never had a problem with driving on motorways after I passed my test

Nah don't really bother, fabia's are common as muck so there's no point

Fair point, I see where you're coming from now :sad2:

I only mean that it's a good idea for the first couple of years, once the premiums plateau then it's not necessary anymore

I think it's a great idea! I only passed my test a couple of years ago and 'cause I'm young, therefore, I'm a bad driver, which I'm not. For my first year, on a 1L 1999 Nissan Micra I paid about £3000 for a years insurance!! Anything that will help young, genuinely good drivers lower their...

haha my bad!! :toung:

Try taking out all the stuff you don't need. It'll speed up you're acceleration and increase MPG so it's win/win!! :D:D

When on long motorway drives I tend to zone out and just go into automatic mode. Kinda worries me sometimes 'cause I can go for half an hour without concentrating at all! :blink:

A big hello and welcome to TC

Hello and welcome to the forum!!

It wasn't bad, but wasn't one of the best either Still reckon NASCAR's just turning left though :lol::P

You've come to the right place! If you have any queries just post a thread and someone'll be able to answer it

OG's being witty, ICE stands for In Car Entertainment :P

Nice to meet you, and welcome to the forum!!

Glad you've joined us! But remember one thing... once you're here, you can never leave!!!

Bummer

:amazed: sounds like a good outcome from a bad situation :)

Any specific reason? :confused:

I was going to do that but when i worked it out, the scheme was actually going to cost more money than it would knock-off my insurance :confused: so I didn't bother!

£128.9 for run-of-the-mill unleaded, I think £135.9 for diesel

Welcome to TorqueCars, if you've got any questions feel free to ask, someone'll have t'answer! :)

For me it's the Nissan Micra 1.0 T reg. I realise that i don't have a huge car history...actually it's just the micra and my current fabia :blink: The gearbox on the micra was awful, if you ever went for 3rd you had to cross your fingers and hope for t'best! So how about you??

at £3 a litre I think I'd just get something for weekends and walk/cycle the rest of the time. Plus roads would be a lot emptier 'cause it would just be the enthusiasts like us that would have cars :bigsmile::bigsmile:

I hit a hare once going about 60mph on a bypass near my house, little f****r cracked my bumper

Nice to meet you tiago, this site (and members) is full of top-drawer info and tips. I'm sure you'll love it!

Voted no for the simple reason that it'll be just as mucky in 2 days time and I'm reeeaaallllyyyy lazy :P

Formula Forward on an experience day at my local circuit (Croft)... 130bhp weighing in at 420kg. Felt awesome!!!

It may sound simple, but what's OEM? :blink: I've seen it round loads and am none-the-wiser

How about enthusiastic :p

T9 you are spot on, the logical decision is to trade up at some point (when I have funds :annoyed: ) for something with more potential, but I want it now!! Haha

Good plan! Is it possible to re-badge at a later date?

Was thinking about de-badging it, don't really wanna spend too much on it as I'm gonna save for a fiery-er model...this one's only the 1.2
