sorry to hear about your family :( but I wouldn't let it put you off driving most people are ok at it :) and it's an awesome feeling when you pass your test and have your own car, you can go wherever you want, whenever you want and at what speed you like ;-)

Yeah I'd like to pass my test this year :) I tend to see old ladies driving behind, well under the wheel and I always think to myself if they can do it I should be able to :D
I'd certainly love the freedom that comes with owning a car.

Not really sure actually, I'm not really a car person but I think when I do get one I'll start to be come one like my brothers. I'm sure I'll be one of those people who'll buy and look after antique cars in the future like Chris Barrie aka Rimmer.
I'm sure I'll save up the money for a good car though, don't want something that'll last me only a few months. My brothers been through 3 cars so far :/

If your into classic cars, a mini's best bet for a starter. They can be very cheap or very expensive, privately they are £500 upwards, at a dealer called Miniman who is near me, they go for upto 8k. Plus everyone loves mini's, everyone waves at me in mine, even if I don't know them. also other minis always flash lights / wave at you, it's a really good experience :)

Are lessons really all that important? Can't you just simply take the test on the first go... That'll be me; natural. :p

I've got a silver Ford Escort (94/95), which I've had for the last 3 years. It's taken a slight battering a couple of times and I almost drank it completely dry of oil recently, but it suits me fine. That's all that counts.

Ok, random reopening of a thread, but as it's up again, I drive a Chevrolet Lacetti (everyone assumes its a Matiz, so when they see my car they tend to be more impressed). Cheap to run, easy to drive and not bad looking either...it was a steal at £4k!

A silver Polo, nothing special. I'm getting a new car soon though.
Leaning towards a vanilla Golf.

The colour 'vanilla' doesn't exist in the manufacturer's colour range for golfs - new or old :-)

I don't know if you're joking or if you genuinely thought I meant the colour.
I didn't D:

Neither did I. The closest you can get is Sandstone Beige. Will that do?

No probs, try a bucket of paint stripper - any colour will do the trick:-)
