LOL yeah a Clio and a 200 SX so sh*t hot theyre in and out of the garage every 5 minutes! Running cars like these costs big money, in comparison to the maintenance/running costs of them, the insurance is sod all! There has to be something good about getting old doesnt there (LOL Im not even 30 yet)?
Anyway, seriously, I drove about for years in real sh*tters until I had enough money to buy a decent proper car, an RT, and that wasnt till I was about 22 I think. Before that I had a Fiesta 1.0 Popular and a Metro Studio 2. I couldnt go fast in either of them, so instead I just drove fast round every corner with tyres squealing, and jumped hump-back bridges, railway crossings etc, burning down unlit tractor paths through fields, practising handbrake turns and J-turns on football pitches - there are all sorts of wicked things you can do in a slow old sh*tter that you wouldnt even think of doing in a decent motor. So in a way it gets it all out of your system so that by the time you have a decent motor, you no longer want to do wheelspins at every single junction or handbrake into your front drive! I swear out of all the cars Ive ever owned & driven, that Fiesta was the most fun I ever had.
