Your First Car

[Picolini]

I think my mom had one of those back when it was newer...

 

@Ronnyboy, yes, that's right. It's double. As if that would describe the difference between a drive shaft and chain drive anyways.

[XN22]

I guarantee he could tell you the difference between the Deloreans from each BTTF though.

[Ronnyboy]

Oh shut up, im more a expert on classic automobiles. Such as Mustangs, Camaros, Corrvettes, Firebirds, Cheveles, BMW, Ferrari,Lambo's, VW, ands many more. So I can tell you the difference between any car of those an a few more, weither its parts, engines, horsepower, I know it. (and no MIT jokes either)

[boardwalk4est]

you couldn't tell the difference between an 89 IROC and a 67' Camaro.

 

But I got one.. How much horsepower would I gain if I turned my 89 IROC into a 383 stroker?

what does the term "Three in a tree" mean when refering to automobiles?

Isn't it 'three on the tree'? or am I mixing it up with something else?

Alrighty then. No google; tell me the difference between the Yenko and CoPo Camaros.

Duuuh, there was a topic about it. Old news, and strictly offtopic Laz. Sorry

Well ive just turned 16 on wedneday and ive been driving my mums car for the past year or so (not on roads just around deserted places). Ive always been interested in cars so im hoping to get my 17 years waiting rewarded with something nice for a first car.

 

Im considering a Vauxhall Vectra but my dad says there pretty big for a 1st car and with the amount of idiots on the road in liverpool .. well you get the picture

 

I also wouldnt mind an astra and my dad agrees that it would be a pretty suitable car for a 1st

 

other options are my dads ford mondeo which i could probably get for like £500 or i may be getting a ford focus depending on what money i can come up with.

 

i already have a grand, and ill start putting like £50 a week away untill im buying my car and then my parents should put the rest into it.

 

nice car BTW stretch fiesta`s are cool

[stretch.]

You'd better be hoping for someone else to pay the insurance,

 

I'm paying £1400 a year on my provisional and that looks set to increase to just over £1800 a year once I pass my test.

 

A 1.3 is all I can actuall feasably afford!

[xBRABUSx]

well my cousin got a 2002 vectra like the one below

(google image)

He got his for £2500 at an auction and payed £2500 for his insurance for the first year so £5000 in total. shouldnt be too much out of my price range

 

then again though i could end up hitting problems closer to the time so i can only picture it for the time being.

[stretch.]

Well, I'm on close to £6.5 k a year, so that is "within" my pricerange, albeit only on credit.

 

But a 17 year old as the registered owner of a large saloon is a bit dubious to say the least!

 

I'll be getting some more pics of Oliver Jnr. (My fiesta) once it's stopped bleeding raining!

[xBRABUSx]

well i was thinking of learning in my mums micra or my dads mondeo when im 17 and then getting my own bigger car when im 18.

Im getting a job in woolwoths soons as its £7.20 an hour so i should be on around £150 a week pretty soon.

[stretch.]

Are you sure that aint for over 21's? My cousin works at Woolies and he's scraping in around £5 an hour,

 

Anyways, I'm looking at moving out of the call centre area into an IT job once I've gotten my ccna!

 

Then it's nissan gtr all the way heheheh

Well one of my friends was going to get a job at woolies but ended up getting a job at comet as its closer to her house. she got offered around £6.80-£7.20 an hour but i think it might just be christmas rates.

 

Roll on having a job

you just lost that last bit of respect i had for you. wiki and google ftl.

 

to other poster, can you get a pic of your IROC up!??! im saving up for an old camaro, i cant

afford an IROC, but i figured grab an 87 with a 305, yank that out and drop a 350 in or somethin

if i can save up that much. what do you guys think?

[Picolini]

This guy I used to work with did that. I think he through a new cam in and a few other thing, and I'll just say that thing is f*cking nuts. Saw him burn out for like 100 feet.

[Canofceleri]

New or old?

 

The old one was anything but cool.

Screw you. It was cool as f*ck.

[Iminicus]

I agree with Cran purely because

 

YOU R DEAD 2 ME GUYBRUSH

 

 

<3 Guybrush.

 

I am looking for a classic Ferrari in resto condition. I want to restore one with my brother in law for my nephew. I figure if I start now but the time he turns 18 ( in 16 years ) it will be finished.

[stretch.]

And I wanna see if it'd be possible to drop in a 135i or an M engine into my little fiesta

 

Ultimate sleeper.

 

But yer, once I've done my ccna and gotten some money behind me, I might even start

[JayC]

I had a feisty wee fiesta.

 

1249cc and 16v led to 73bhp of pure power.

 

Very reliable except for the time the suspension collapsed; the constant knocking from the rear; the stupid spare wheel cage that fell off on a main road during rush hour; and the insane vibrations when you went over 80mph.

 

I loved it though, engine and gearbox were sound and it was great fun to throw round corners.

 

Now I drive a slightly faster but altogether more dull Toyota Yaris.

 

 

You can put a 1.9 from the Ford Puma in your fiesta stretch. with minimal modification. Apparently you can get a turbo'd 2.0 from the Focus in there too with some work.
