Congrats, nothing wrong with that car, looks dated but im sure it will be everything you need for a first car.

Skiddley · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:01

Congrats mate. Took me 3 attempts!

TinkerBell · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:04

Congrats!

First cars aren't meant to look amazing, I am sure it will fulfill your needs

FrannoBaz · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:05

Awesome man. Well done!

Not a bad first car too... Better than the standard 1.1 and 1.2s people usually have

L0rdMike · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:07

Although the car is nothing amazing as long as its all working its not a bad car.

Richdog · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:09

Bah, everyone knows the best drivers pass on the second attempt!

Congrats mate, and good choice of first car, it will be a solid and reliable runner.

Congrats, car looks decent enough, could do much worse for a first car. See to that tail pipe though it is shocking

Tican · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:10

I like the car it was cheap, just a shame it is an LX

no gadgets

Thanks everyone, looks like I cant drive it until tomorrow now

LIES! It is first time passers that are the best

Phil W · 18 Jun 2008 at 17:15

I'd much prefer that Mondeo over a 1.1 Clio or something

Congratulations!

PAS, e/w [fronts], c/locking, sunroof and that's about it

Better than no e/w, no c/locking, no s/roof, no e/mirrors, a two speaker radio (no tape deck) and a four speed gearbox

In fact I think it was a one speaker radio

But... Mine has no electric mirrors

Mine has a 4 speaker MP3 CD Player which is ok (fronts) but rear speakers suck

The best drivers pass second time as the instructor finds them too good and to knock their confidence and to keep their quoted pass levels correct

I only got 3 minors on my first test.. But then apparently I also got a dangerous for an accident I avoided which wasn't my fault!

second test I just got 2 minors

Nice one - now you start learning to drive

TaKeN · 18 Jun 2008 at 19:16

Congrats, enjoy

and.. take it steady
