My first Clio/car !

[Alan1.2]

Alrite guys.

After browsing corsac for 8 months before my 17th , i actually got bored with corsas before i even owned one. So i decided a clio would be the best car to opt for.

Just before my first test , which i promptly fucked up with 15 minors 1 serious, i bought an 03 plate silver dynamique 1.2 with 75k on the clock. Been a great car so far only thing iv noticed is it seems to steam up more than it should , maybe a leak from the sunroof ? is this prone to happen on a car of this age?

Recently failed my 2nd test with 5 minors of which 3 where for going to slow/fast , i failed for edging out at a mini roundabout after i got waved out by a taxi , edged f**king out , could be the most rage iv ever experienced in my life towards someone , the dvla are money grabbing scum.

Anyway i have some shitty blackberry pictures which are gash , so ill upload better ones tomorrow.

Does anybody have any suggestions of what i could do to give the car a bit of a better look im not planning on spending much hopefully get a 172 or similar in a few years time.

Fully expecting a " cool story bro " but f**k it !

[Alan1.2]

[Revels]

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because you're new.

But that's not how we speak to people on here.

 

[Alan1.2]

I understand buddy , wasnt meant as a serious reply hence the lol and smile but i get where your coming from spesh being new and all that. cheers

Av never ever been waved out on a roundabout. Dont thiink anyone does that tbh

 

[Coby.]

I'd give you advice on what to do to the car if I could see any photos of it.

 

[Alan1.2]

It was a mini roundabout mate , one of those ones rarely anybody would go right round , i waited guy never signaled then signaled to go off and waved as id waited on him when i could have went , as he done that i edged forward a touch then went as he left which i shouldnt have done.

Yeah ill get some photos up tomorrow if not tonight

cheers.

the person in front of me decided it would be a good idea to do that the other day, nearly a rear ender and i wasnt best pleased lol


i would spend the money on 'making it better' on your next test tbh, then spend money on the car IMO

 

[JamesWilson]

Check to see if either the driver or passenger (or both) footwell carpets are wet, if not. Have a look around the head lining at the front grab handles and sun visors see if its wet.

Good luck with your next test

Cheers.

I had two dodgy fails and passed third time ... I've noticed a very familiar pattern tbh...

My first test the instructor grabbed the wheel when I had at least 12 inches either side of me, second test I apparently didn't look right at a roundabout (how is that possible?) and i passed with two minors in my third test.

Lots of people seem to get some dodgy fails and then pass third time... I'm sure you'll be the same so good luck!

 

[S TAYLOR]

good luck with your test and welcome to cs

Aye 17 year old boys seem to get different treatment , many girls in my year in school get away with all sorts in test. In my first one my guy was angry at me from the off because i asked about a turning then failed me on gears because i stalled twice.

Second time was an utter farce , im still not convinced i edged out but o well they need to get there wages payed somehow. But anyway cheers mate i apreciate it.

 

[Goodj]

Those examiners are tricky types, I almost got failed for "driving too slowly". I vowed never to do so again.

Welcome aboard.

Tough luck then mate. I had the exact same situation during my test, but i refused to move, ended up sat at this mini roundabout for about 10 seconds waiting for a taxi to move.

 

[slob]

I was neerly rear ended by a double decker bus on the way back to the test centre, whilst going from the inside to the outside lane, The female examiner screamed out and tryed to grab the wheel, really funny actually cause i actually failed on that first attempt, couldnt beleive it when we stopped for the de brief

Never do what a taxi driver expects you to do when you're in a learner car (not racism, experience (a) )
they're out to get learners, I had to drive through Nelson on my lessons, every week i had taxi drivers cut me up, wave me on then pull out on me, get right up my arse to try intimidate me, everything to try make me c*ck up! My instructor used to shout out the window and call them every name under the sun, was funny as! xD

Who passed first time

 

[Alan1.2]

Alright lads , finally passed 3rd time lucky.

Had a few ideas what to maybe do , more of a hobby starter if anything. Was thinking about refurbing the alloys myself but fear its going to look extruciatingly gash !



Was going to maybe get these but also fear they will be cheap crappy bulbs, got silvateks on the way here too.

[gunner3011]

Anthracite would look better for the wheels mate, black doesnt suit it that well i dont think.

Those bulbs will be crap, get what you pay for and they will be nothing like HID's lol. Osram Nightbreakers if anything but as youve got refelctor headlights dont buy a real HID kit.

 

[Alan1.2]

Aye blacks not too braw at all really haha ! any other colours you think would be worth a pop ?

And aye hence why i never baught them , was going to see if anybody else had them or similar.

 

[gunner3011]

Get what you pay for tbh, wont be that much different to standard colour, i tried a few different "HID headlights", wasnt happy so bought a HID kit and there not even in the same league atall.

Regarding colours, depends weather you want a subtle car or one that stands out? i personally recon anthracite for thoise wheels but black multispokes could be cool.
