Yeh, your right I've never driven a car.. obviously
Don't just judge people..
Hes not, your just deciding to think he is having a go. (I cant believe im defending Fox!
)May I ask what your learning to drive in? Most people will learn in a slow, front wheel drive car that is relatively easy to handle, manouver and park, which id guess a 5 series is not quite as simple.
Mate, a 530 is a daft idea for a first car, Im not sure how many cars Fox had before his, but i know he at least had a Xantia and a Mondeo, and still managed to ditch a 530. Hes not having a go, hes driven the thing so knows how easy it is to handle.
Everyone can say they will drive sesnsibly, but in reality, if your saying your going to, then why a 530? You dont want 230BHP and a striaght 6 engine to creep along the road, i dont believe that for one minute, if you want it for luxury then whats wrong with a 525? or a 3 series? Your first car does feel like a rocket ship, trust me, ive got a 1.4 306 and still manage to make it shift (to me, obviously). The first time yourin a car yourself, the first thing you do is see what itll do, you have no instructoir holding you back, and your alone is the car, so you do whats youve been itching to do while learning, RAG IT, and that you do, mines still regularly getting driven hard almost a year on.
Im not saying dont get your 530, just be sensible if you do, as from the way you come across you simple sound like a normal guy with very little driving experience with a wad of cash to blow.
