I thought I would post about my very short car history!

I have loved cars since I was very young and couldn't wait to get on the road! But at 16 the only chance I had was on a moped. So I purchased a Aprilia rs50 a few months after becoming 16 and loved every second on it! It had 6 gears which was silly for a 50cc but I loved it!



A few months after turning 17, I started learning to drive and passed on Friday 13th of all dates! And looking at insurance quotes I thought I'd never afford to drive. But I bit the bullet and bought a peugeot 106 quicksilver, completely unmolested and it only had 50,000 miles which is abnormal for 106.



The insurance was ridiculous at over 3k! But I have had the car for over a year now and it never let me down! But now as my pay is going up the car has made way for an upgrade.

after looking around for an upgrade with insurance anywhere near expectable, I found a perfect car and i had to have it!

So on monday I went to pick up my new car!



a 2004 Honda Civic sport! Mint inside and out, and with only 41k. I absolutely love it!

Thanks for reading, any comments are welcome

Me at the age of 16 with a bike are the best days of my life so far ( I had an SR50R slightly tuned wink )

Good History so far, a mate of mine has a black Civic sport with a Spoon N1 Exhaust on it..... sounds amazing just not quick enough to warrant such a loud exhaust.


They do drive really nicely though thumbup

I did love my bike with a arrow exhaust and a few other tricks!, but before I had it i could have sworn I would never ride a motorbike and was dead set only on cars, but it was awesome!

the N1 is a good bit of kit, maybe in the future.. lots of show and not a lot of go!
