Thanks for the tip about handbrake chaps, my car moves if I don't leave in gear lol.. Good I noticed or my mates would have pushed it off the drive for a laugh lol

 

[edwarhys]

I was doing the wheel nuts up, and the thing was moving lol

 

[edwarhys]

Well had fun getting the gear stick knob off lmao

 

[edwarhys]

Yeah, they're a bit easier to remove on the Sporting

Looked on forums and people were hacksawing them, so had a go... 30 mins later of sweat and tears it just ended up looking like a dog had chewed it lol
... in the end my neighbour came over and asked what I was doing, he was able to just pull it off after about 10mins... I couldn't budge it

 

[edwarhys]

Looks strange to some but I like it... Looks better than the old one

 

[edwarhys]

Really... Declaring a gear knob.. Seriously?

 

[edwarhys]

Thought it sounded silly

 

[edwarhys]

Went for another spin last night,
I know I'm not as experienced as you lot but I enjoy driving .. had a lot on my mind last night and went for a drive under supervision, came back happier

does anyone else like to just go for a drive to clear your head ?

 

[edwarhys]

Yeah I quite like to stick some headphones in and just go for an aimless ride sometimes, as long as there's no mental drivers on the road it's a nice way to relax.

Roads are relaxing near me I live in a little town called Church Stretton

 

[edwarhys]

Doing something that makes your focus on nothing else, tends to be a stress reliever. Though driving is probably not the best thing to do be doing if you need to clear your head.

Note taken, helped a lot though

Beep beep

This forum doesn't have a lot of love for black alloys. I think people will explode at the sight of black hub caps

Well done on getting your first motor mate! I left learning to drive quite late and regretted it when I passed. My first car was a 55hp 2002 basic polo (I think it was the same as Acme's (Sp?) but in red.

So I know the feeling of right foot down and not moving haha. Going on holidays with the family was a fun drive on the motorways

I think they look a lot better than the stock silver ones

Yeah I did lessons when I was 17 but never kept them up, money was my issue then.

 

[edwarhys]

Anyone else have issues with the pedals being annoyingly close together

 

[edwarhys]

Wow what a tool you are titanium,

Would you prefer me to buy a 2.0l I saw for £800
That was going to be £1200 to insure and cost me 4 times the fuel...

I could have afforded better but it's my first car, so use your common sense

 

[edwarhys]

I'm amazed that it took until #64 for that sort of post. OcUK Motors, you're getting better. Slowly but surely.

titaniumx3 - sod off please

 

[edwarhys]

At Christmas, do you receive presents to other people?

 

[edwarhys]

Thanks guys

i had a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 for a couple of days to look over and it was a rust bucket so it went back. Had an agreement with the guy selling it.

also seen a Modified Citroen Saxo but the insurance was high and a 2005 Vauxhall Astra 1.6CDTI that was £1000 to insure.

Mothers car is a pile of crap and actually cost more on insurance (Hyundai Amica 1L) than my Fiat.

overall it was the cheapest, lowest mileage and 11 months MOT
39K miles and half a tank of fuel

 

[edwarhys]

It's a basic tool for the job, simple and reliable. All you need in a first car.

 

[edwarhys]

If someone asked me to "borrow them a bit of cash" I'd ****ing slap them until they understood what they'd done wrong.

hahahahahaha

 

[edwarhys]

so i have been driving around with my mate as supervisor instead of family members and it's been good fun

I'm okay with the pedals now and lost my drive thru, night driving virginity lmao. Put an extra 75miles on the clock in one day
