My First Car!

[shelley bda]

Is being dropped off later!!!!! I'm having an M reg Clio that belonged to our Neice, she's going back to her Navy base today and is dropping the Car off on her way through!!! it's taxed for 6 months not sure about MOT but Jon's taking it to the garage he works at Tomorrow to have a good look at it anyway so that doesn't matter!!!!

Don't even know what colour it is, Jon's Mum said it may be white, or it may be a Turquiose/greeny colour

Ooooh can't wait! Iv'e got my theory test booked for 19th January so i'm getting there slowly

[Howard]

Nice! Are you going to book your practical test once you've done your theory?

[shelley bda]

Definately! though there's a 12 week waiting list but that doesn't mattter, just means more practice

[Howard]

True And those 12 weeks do come around fairly quickly, in my experience Less if you keep ringing up and pestering for someone's space who's cancelled too

[shelley bda]

Im happy to wait for a test, trouble is up our way there's only 2 examiners for our area, they did draft in examiners from the next test centre to get through the backlog of people waiting but theyv'e slipped back again, my friend has been waiting sinve end of November for her confirmation, theyv'e already cancelled her test once and she still hasn't been given a date

[shelley bda]

Where do is start! to begin it's L reg not M like i was told, it has an oil leak, Jon says it may need a new head! and the immobliser is a pile of pap ( this is after the relly's said there was sound nothing wrong with it )

Oh well, Jon's going to take it up the garage and sort it out

It does look nice though, it's 1.2, 2 door silver Oasis model Clio

[herulach]

did youpay for it?

[shelley bda]

Not yet! i'm hoping that we may be able to get some cash knocked off it, and i know they won't want it back because they live in a pub in town with no parking space so theyv'e got nowhere to keep it so we'll see what happens when we get it looked at properly

[herulach]

theyres your bargaining chip then, get it for 50 quid or you dump it outside their house and post the keys

Got an insurance quote for it through Confused.com, cheapest they found was with Lancaster Insurance at £197.85p third party fire and theft, that's with no NCB's and me being a new driver, so even if i just run it about for a year or so to build up some NC's it's something

Don't even know what colour it is, Jon's Mum said it may be white, or it may be a Turquiose/greeny colour

Lol, not much of a difference!

Set of 15's, lowering springs, induction kit, de-cat and exhaust on the shopping list then?

197???????? Good lord. My mum pays more than that!

[Funkstar]

Yeah, £197 is pretty good shelley.

I'm about £255 for my golf gti (non turbo) with 4 years no claims, license for 6 years and 3 points from Elephant
