mk5 VDUB polo
a twin turbo 335..............and you're 17......is there NO limit to your funding?? lol
Clio 1.6 16v Dynamique +
Hiya. You are one hell of a lucky 17year old! That's nice car you have there, I would agree to lose those wheels and spolier though. !6" wheels ( OZ Super T GT's or something like Team Dynamiics Equinox), and 30-40mm drop would be excellent.
To be honest, I think you are going to have to lower your sights abit when it comes to buying a car in the UK. Insurance isn't exactly cheap here and I suspect most insurance companys would refuse to insure you on such cars. I wish you luck in finding a car to your liking though.

Lol, mummy and daddy get you a new car eh. I think its stupid of them to get a 17 year old such a powerfull car if you ask me. Very irisponsible, i got scared a few times in my 1.2. 16v corsa when i first started never mind my cup.
Nah they are not being irisponsible, they are being reasonable, i will not use the car that much in Gibraltar because of traffic and stupid laws.....the car will mostly be used in spain where speed limits are reasonable and roads are nice n big, and why's it stupid of them, i bet ud like the idea if you could drive a 172 at the age of 17:rasp:

its not stupid if they can trust you, im 17 and i doubt id kill myself in a 172 because i know my limits and am not that stupid to push a car past my limits!
lol, i would certainly push it to its limits, i mean at 17-18 and u get a 2.0 172 u jus now it is gona be ragged, because when u start drivin thats wat happens, and all the times u hear of young people with there new fast cars going round a corner too quick etc. Jus enjoy the car and be carefull. You are sooo lucky to be getting one so certainly dont waste it.

I wouldnt of even considered it, hence why i got a 1.2 corsa sxi that was brand new. For the price i could of easily afforded a 172 insurance was only 950. I was 18 when i got it, i prefered to get driving experience in a nippy car rather than a car that you could easily lose control in, in comparison.
You aint passed ya test yet anyway so good luck lol

^ cool cool.. gudluck wit the tests dude.
Insurance is fairly cheap, but then as already said you'll never get out of first round gib lol, and if you want to go for a blast into spain, I don't envy you quieing to get back into gib, most of the year round anyway, but then fuel is dirty cheap at bp down there swings and roundabouts
swings and roundaboutsClio_gib said:but hey about the clio, i know my limits and i know when to push it and when not to so its all good
In all fairness, you don't know your limits at all.
You don't even know how to drive yet, so I'd be careful with that attitude for the first year or two of driving.

If i had a 172 at 17 i wouldnt of drove it, too busy drinking obscene amounts of beer while at college and waking up next to girls that i couldnt remember the name of then, let alone now. You say it in such a way to almost rub peoples faces in the fact your 17 with a 172.
If i am honest mate its not a suprise people do this really. How many people get a new car from mummy and daddy when they pass. If you get a 172 for 5k and then insure it for 2k its still a saving of a few grand over say getting a brand new micra and insuring that. Its the new drivers in the brand new 1.2 litre cars that have the money
The new drivers in the cheaper yet more powerful cars as just statistics waiting to happen.I dont agree with getting a 172 as a first car tho, you will never know the joys of driving such treats as 1.4 nova's and fiesta's without central locking like i had to lol!

whats not to understand?
MKIII 138
the country we live has many rich folk its the 4th richest country in the world !! only stupidly OTT countries with loads of oil can beat us.
think about the people who get bought audi TT`s (brand new) for their first car no matter what the age etc.. a clio isnt that expensive at all to some.
sure owning a car like that at 17 is nice but what about apreciating it by having driven much less capable and reliable cars like my 1.4 rover or 998cc polo that cut out all the time.
that funny saying today rings a bell "you have to slay dragons before you get to the princess`s"

how can someone know their limits if they havent passed their test, or even their theory test.
