Well upon turning 17 i started looking at insurance quotes etc. and realised i had enough for one of these beauties (for a new 17 year old school go'er at least

):

what do you think / recoginse it from anywhere?

ohh. ps before any kind comments, i own it fully, i will be fully insured in my name with all mods declared and all rules of the roads will be adheaerd to

doh, fixing to thumbnails now

saitrix - insurance is around £1800 in my name, less if i do pass plus, its a cost i am willing to pay for the quality of car and not being stuck with a slower car that would get on my nerves,

spaz - looks like it could do with lowering due to the severity of the slope my drive is on, however may drop it about 30mm on front as it already has stiffened dampers so should imporve the looks no end,

and yes, GT3 kindly provided me with the car for a great price

nah, am sure he wouldnt dream of it, as how else would he know there was a problem shifting from the redline in 2nd to 3rd

Nathan - around £1800 as i said before in my first year with mods declared, will prob loose it on 2nd year of driving as i would ahve a years no claim and can move onto bigger, better things (if there are better than a vtr), and if i stick with its around £700 for 2nd year so only just paying the cost of the car then after 2 years of use, which to be honest, doesnt bother me too much, i ahve no other major bills etc. to pay, a job with pay, and you only live once and all that so am going to try my best to gte it right first time round

Post count whoring tbh,

slamming it has issues, i have spped bumps at every entry to my village, therefore lowered = i cant get home, and even if i did i got a steep drive with nasty lip to negotiate over so if anything it will be 30mm at fornt max
