Sure, you'll be grand. Your insurance will still go down, you'll still get older, you'll still be able to drive on the motorways and you'll still be able to drive on your own.

All is not lost.

Volvoboy

Nothing changes, if i fail or pass, i'll only be able to get insured on bigger cars (to hell with you Mr 1.4!!) i need a luxobarge carrying my arse around!!

If you do manage to please let me know where you do and how much you pay, I passed my test a few weeks ago and my insurance went down but still no quotes on anything over 1.6 petrol, 1.9 diesel or anything close to 130bhp!

You are not to be driving on your own. You need a full licence driver in the car at all times when your driving

colm_mcm

Well done! How much you got to spend on your new motor?

mike65

7 fails and you passed! :eek: Me runs and hides (the keys!)

Well done and buy an auto for petes sake, you'll wish you had, a Merc manual was never meant to be. Harder to sell as well.

Mike.

patrickc

well done vb

unkel

Congrats!

skibum

Well done, it was third time lucky for me

RoundyMooney

Well done Volvoboy, and first time out too, like meself

If we'd more people like you on the roads, not only would they be a safer place, but they would carry more interesting traffic than is the case at the moment.

_Kaiser_

Well done VB

Think hard about that E200 though would be my advice. I had (an automatic) one for 2 days while my Passat was being serviced, and aside from drinking petrol, I found it really slow and heavy to get going from a standing start (especially compared to mine).

Plus the steering really annoyed me - so light at low speeds that you wonder if it's even connected to the wheels, and progressively heavier at higher speeds that it becomes a bit of a chore to drive.

It IS comfy though, and it does look the part - or at least so all the girls told me in work

Owen

Woot! Well done VB! One question though, aren't you a little on the young side for a Merc? I wouldn't drive a Merc until I was 70! Seriously though, excellent job, and we all knew you could do it!

Fey!

Well done.

Volvoboy

Thanks lads, yea i'm amusing myself at the prospect of the merc, but was thinking along the lines of



Newish (Boring) 00- 2L car, avensis 626


Retro 80's sports coupe http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=Car&carID=693288&message=You%20searched%20for%3A%20Toyota%20MR2%2C%20Year%3A%201986%2E%20Your%20search%20returned%20one%20vehicle%2C%20which%20is%20shown%20below%2E&CFID=10919898&CFTOKEN=62238075 just for the reg alone!


Or the merc ''Nice'' C180 or E200, lad up the road from my dad has a E200 96 in a auto grey leather 17 multispoke, timing chain done and head replaced, looking for 4.5k, dunno yet still early days, see what happens.


Thanks again, i'm in the club now, now longer a scumbag provsional driver (i kid i kid):D
