Did someone say tr7 and brilliant in the same sentanceI spent 2 years welding one of them drove it about twice then off to the car auction worst car ive ever driven old morris marina engine and handling borderline dangerous

Didnt say TR7 was any good but it had pop up headlights she liked those She had a toyota celica too with pop up lights before the porsche 924 also has pop up head lights Bit of a theme going on there
Herald was bought 'cause she liked the pointy out bit on the roof and back light
THAT's why girls are cheap to insure

According to the website, I live in a low risk area. Surprisingly I think I will probably have to get a cheap crap car with no balls and built up a no claims thingymabob unless I could go on my parents insurance or something. It's annoying how I can't technically drive a terrano. It's only a 2.7 td Ive probably driven it over 100 miles on private land ohh and through fields and god knows what else

Yep and keep your licence clean as well or you will be paying through the nose.

The problem with young drivers (not all by the way) is they think they are great drivers and that's the problem, when you pass your test, you are just starting out and need to learn road craft...that comes with years behind the wheel

exactly, once you have passed your test, you really start to learn how to drive. NO more steady hand in the seat next to you, and wise words for what to do next, youre on your own!

That is why learner drivers often get cheaper insurance, then it shoots up when they pass there tests, as no one will be sitting with them anymore.

We should have a curfew that new driver can only have 2 people in the car and it has to be parked up by 10 pm like some other places do. Also limmit them to 1.0L for the first year But also keep there insurance down so atleast they can pay it.

Totally agree, no more than 2 in a car for at least a year, small engine and knowing that the Police are always on the look out for you and if your caught doing something stupid or dangerous...2 yellow cards and then after that you have to sit a much harder test to get your licence back.
That should slow a few of the loons down

Phnar, but it does have pop up headlights
She's also been known to drop the keys loudly here n there
She's looking for an MR2 for the summer now
I think that's got popups too
