Toyota Corolla - Swinblinks First Car

[Swinblink]

Well, after passing my test in November, I got this, a 2004 1.4 Corolla. VVT-i yo.
I haven't modified it in anyway, and don't plan on. However, if i do don't worry, no big zorsts or decals for me!
Finally got out to take some snaps of it today, im going to re-do the night ones, this time with a tripod.

So yeah, its not much, but i love it to pieces.






So how man BHP does the sticker add then?

With some of my friends!

It is, only things wrong with it, a small ding abut the size of a 5p on the passenger door, and a scuff on the front bumper when i hit my wheelie bin.

Haha, I know that feeling. My car was almost mint until I drove it into my gatepost about 4 months after passing my test. Never before have I been more annoyed at myself.

Wouldn't worry, I've done that Wheelie bin came off worse though much to the displeasure of my mum

If you don't mind me asking, what's the insurance like on it?

Haha, the car came off worse in this case, i felt like such a knob.

Insurance isn't terrible for a young driver, its 1900 with my parents as named drivers. I think it's because its not a corsa/clio/saxo/106/fiesta.

lovely first car

word to the wise

use it, build no claims do no modifications just keep it serviced and safe.

when the time comes to move it on it will sell for more money and a lot easier without the mods and lots of receipts for oil changes tyres service stuff.

Will do!

[Jeffmaniac]

As Magpie215 said keep it for a couple of years to build up the no claims.

Enjoy the freedom.

Nice and clean, how did you do on the insurance?

Forgot to put in my first post that you have a very nice first car. Take care of it.
