Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:34:56 If there is a sub in the boot of the car, getting in it is not a good idea. Thats from a previous experience
Title: I've got my first car Post by: DMR on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:35:56 explain
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Johno on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:36:56 i reckon your ears might hurt abit... just a guess though. i don't care though, Football 1st. Health 2nd :D
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:38:46 The car was full so I jumped in the boot. So they decided that it would be fun to put garage music on very loud. Not good for the eardrums :old:
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:40:56 Couldn't you unplug the sub? :o
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Friday, June 3, 2005, 22:41:48 I couldn't see anything and was too drunk to think of that at the time

Title: I've got my first car Post by: Whits on Friday, June 3, 2005, 23:32:44 i'll be able to confirm in 2 weeks :S
Title: I've got my first car Post by: DMR on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 09:10:46 I went for a little run about this morning, it's easily the greatest car ever made \o/
PS hope everything's ok whits Title: I've got my first car Post by: walrus on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 14:38:16 Is it a diesel? (Inferred from the XLD). What possessed you in which case to buy a diesel? If not ignore that :D
Title: I've got my first car Post by: unclemark on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 14:46:24 My Dad has a Rover 400 diesel :oops:
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 16:34:42 I'm proper old skool. I listen to cassettes in my car that I recorded on my stereo because I haven't got around to sorting out a CD player for it yet
I get pissed off big time when there are slow drivers in front of me. I would overtake them but I don't have the bottle because I've heard too many storires about accidents. I'd probably estimate that about 80% of my mates have had either a minor or a fatal accident. Just makes you think twice before you do anything too risky Title: I've got my first car Post by: sonicyouth on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 16:37:01 I've got about 20 cassette's in my car and I only ever listen to two, one is The Wedding Present and the other is a compilation Amir did for me. My car rattles because of said tapes.
I don't overtake people much either, it's pretty difficult in a 1.1 Clio so I just hope they turn off :/ No accidents though, although I did back into someone's car. Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 16:40:01 I want a CD player, but there isn't really a lot of point as I'm only going to be driving for another 3/4 months then I'm off to you-knee \o/

Just makes you think twice before you do anything too risky Did a mate(s) really die? That's a sad story if ever I heard one Title: I've got my first car Post by: Rossi on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 16:46:01 One person that I knew, but not really a mate (year older than me) died as a passenger a couple of weeks ago. The same night, one of my quite close mates killed himself and his girlfriend when the car span off and hit a tree. Really shocked me when I first found out, and I've been driving a lot more cautiously since
Title: I've got my first car Post by: walrus on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 17:18:09 Might sound harsh but have little sympathy for teenager drivers wrapping themselves around a tree, but I do feel for the parents and passengers if they're involved - it's a crap way to die, simply because someone was too fecking stoopid....
I'm pretty adept in overtaking, but then I drive frequently on backroads to Horsham were a lot of old people pootle along at 25-30mph when the road is easily taken at 60 so I need to be. I don't speed though, 3 more points and I'm out! (You are only allowed 6 points till you have been driving for two years, which for me will be in November). Title: I've got my first car Post by: Asher on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 17:42:14 106 is a nice choice for first car, easy to maintain and you can run one cheaply!
Title: I've got my first car Post by: timmyg on Saturday, June 4, 2005, 18:02:59 I've got a 106. It's my 2nd car and it's ace. It's a Zest and can pootle along very nicely, I don't generally drive very fast at all but I've taken her to 110 mph on the M1 with 2 fat passengers. Was VERY fast. I've even brought it over here for some Italian loving, though the Italians don't respect her as much as they should.

I'd never contemplate doing such a thing intentionally, but it was forced upon me - was staying over but friend fell off a 10 ft rope swing and need racing to hospital - 999 refused to answer request as busy and accident not severe enough! Title: I've got my first car Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 09:50:55 I bought a new car yesterday. Black Focus ST170 for 9k! 2 weeks until I can pick it up though! :|
Title: I've got my first car Post by: Asher on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 13:43:42 Focus are lush, drink driving is fopr stupid little twats, really need to assess your life if you get behind a wheel drunk, nealy lost 3 of my mates cos some twat got in his car while drunk and drove into their car. The drunk died and quite frankly he deserved too.....
Walrus next time you get in a car after having a drink think about a £5 cab home, better than losing your life, think how your mum will feel identifying your burn fucked up body. Sorry for the rant but for fucks sake grow up. Title: I've got my first car Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 13:47:17 Or even a 25 quid fare.
Haha. It was about 50 mins of driving at 4am last night. Mug.

Title: I've got my first car Post by: Asher on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 14:11:00 Would of called an ambulance

Ambulance response time would have likely been over an hour, and we were in a fairly remote forest.

To be honest Walrus you sound like a jumped up wanker Title: I've got my first car Post by: walrus on Sunday, June 5, 2005, 22:42:08 Thanks :)
I'm not gonna convince you people, but simply put, i'm a gayer Had you been in the situation there was very little options. I was drunk but not hammered, but would never condone that in a normal situation. I was bloody scared because my friend was going spastic, literally :| I'm a fucking angel on the roads compared to a lot of people of my agegroup, especially around here.

Title: I've got my first car Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, June 9, 2005, 21:50:56 getting back on topic,
i still have my first car, had it 3 years now i think. an M reg fiesta which cost me £1350. it's utter shit. it's got a fault but the fault cannot be identified until the car packs up competely, i've had about 5 different mechanics/garages/friends look at it and they all say the same. i wouldn't mind so much if it was consistently shit, but it could break down after 5mins or 5 hours of driving, at 5mph or 90mph. i need to get down to cornwall after glasto and i'll be chancing it in my car, may need to sleep in it if i break down as it needs a bit of rest after breakage.

How exactly does it packup? If you give me exact symptoms I can always pass on info to a mate of mine who's granddad is a genius Ford mechanic. (The mate drives a Y reg (that's a 22 yr old) Mark 2(?) Ford Escort and keeps it healthy and running on the road, so he knows what he's doing!!) Title: I've got my first car Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, June 9, 2005, 23:25:24 It's probably the computer though Walrus
Title: I've got my first car Post by: mrs_spacey on Thursday, June 9, 2005, 23:25:49 cars are stupid
Title: I've got my first car Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, June 9, 2005, 23:26:38 it packs up by juddering, then slowing to a stop. then when you turn the key it's as though no petrol is getting through as it won't start and sounds 'dry'. sometimes all it takes is a swift ignition movement, or a few pumps on the gas, but once it took 12 hours to work again.
an aa man thought it was the thing that feeds the fuel in. the garage couldn't say it was definitely that and didn't want to charge me (for once) £300 for a part which might not even fix the problem. the genius bloke near my nan told me it woulnd't be possible to pin it down as, with modern cars, there is so much computer stuff etc. that it could be more or less anything. another mechanic said a £300 service would fix it, but it didn't. |
