My "short" car history
Discussion
Right then,
First car was a 1993 Nissan Micra 1.3, slogged my guts out when I was 16 to buy a car, and that's what I bought!! Served me well for nearly a year now, not been easy on it but haven't spared any cost maintaining it, but due to age and a 17year old behind the wheel, it has taken its toll on the gearbox, 5th gear has now gone! Dont care what people say baout these cars, but they are bloody good fun!
The failure of 5th has led to me buying a Peugeot 206! It's a 1.4 Quiksilver edition, and has actually cost me the earth to insure, but hey, got to start building no claims at some point!
Here they are:
UPDATE:
Due to a change of circumstances...the Peugeot went in August 2010..replaced by:
The Fiat was a steal, one previous owner who unfortunately passed away, therefore a factory fresh low low mileage car for peanuts! Happy with that. Great for getting me to Plymouth and back from west Wales sat at 90mph quite happily. Also a trooper in the snow!!
BMW 318is Coupe.....best car i've owned yet...I am only 19 :P. Insurance is nowhere near as bad as imagined! A few hiccups, nothing major. Real comfortable cruiser but will casually remind you at times when you're being a bit of a dick (think wet weather!)
