"New Car"

Just got a brand spanking new Astra SXi 2.0 DTi this morning. My dad gets it cheap on some sort of scheme as he works for vauxhall. And it only costs £10 a month to insure me on it =) (normally it would cost upwards of £1000 to insure me on somethin like this! seeing as i'm only 19) And we get a brand new one every 5 months :)


Anyways, i get to drive it to UNI every day so i'm as happy as can be right now! :D Just took it for a little cruise around town, proper nice...Stereo is nice and bassy with a lovely CD player :)

Yeah im the same, when people talk about lowering the suspension, adding spoilers and go faster stripes i just thing "WHY?". Its money wasted in my opinion.

Its a sporty looking car, my old biology teacher had one, but she wrote it off.

I have no idea what an MR2 is.....well part from it being a car.

I've had my MR2 since I was 18 so nyaaa.

:P

Cars bore me, don't see what the fuss is about. Sure, I appreciate slick looking cars, but when people start mumbling on about valve intake and all that nonsense, I just nod and agree, before falling asleep.

Anyway, a 19 year old should NOT be driving something like that. You should be in a Corsa or something by Nissan!

Oo purdy

Scouser proof? Is there such a thing? :P

Aye, but this car has been fitted with a "scouser proof" security system! :P

Man, its sooooooo cool driving this car.

I've only ever driven a 1.4 206 and a 1.2 Corsa before so its a huge step up!

Now I can keep up with all the BMWs and the like on the motorway :)( I was having a little race with an Audi TT (my future car:D) this morning!)

And the milage is bloody superb. As its a diesel it gets 60 miles to the gallon on the motorway!

Very nice!

Not to say you arent, but it's funny how everyone says they are a great driver. Loads of my mates say they are and then i get in the car with them and i spot all these things that they are doing wrong.

Personally, I AM a great driver though.... :)
