Take it easy and you'll enjoy it for longer.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Generally not crashing it within the first year will see you get the best out of it.

 

[Magic Johnson]

Don't waste your money modifying it, enjoy it for what it is, take it steady, wrack up your NCB.

No doubt the O.P will ignore this and stick stupid mods on it without declaring, crash and void insurance.

 

[melissajane.x3]

believe me no intention of doing that! i was in my mates punto when he crashed and 3 hours in a&e strapped to a bed wasn't the best experience of my life..

Oil on the road? Slippy road? Another drivers fault? Dropped a cog etc?


Be safe....

 

[Budgie]

Pretty much, most people on here will tellyou to keep it standard and save the money you'd spend on mods saving for something faster/upgraded!

Oh, and FFS don't crash. I did and I'm still paying for it, lol.

swerving to avoid a stupid child running out in the road, brakes locked, hit a white line, straight through a central reservation

 

[.Kev.]

As Magic said realy, enjoy the freedom of having your own transport and freedom oh And the pain of running costs and the price of fuel! lol

Take it easy, and build up your NCD then when your ready upgrade rather then mod.

 

[swordjo]

Speeding then lol

 

[ben_r1]

central reservation? what was a kid doing on a road like that???

 

[Budgie]

Speeding then lol

Calm down, pal.

You seem to have a royal stick up your arse over the last few days.

Pretty much every post is trying to rip people for something you don't have much idea about.

 

[Gally]

Feel lucky you have gained invaluable experience from other people crashing.

Have a read of this, just to make sure you understand what the road holds....

outside local college, living in a small town doesn't help causes

So, what was a kid doing on a DC?

 

[chris182cup]

Don't drive like I do and you'll be fine, hopefully x

This place get worse for people have sense of humor. One of my posts may have been a bit ars*y the other day (it was about Turini's ffs, its not like there aren't any pictures of cars on here with them).

Why don't you run along and tell other people who are alot worse than me to 'calm down' (i am very calm at this moment thanks). Or am I not one of the in crowd that get away with it?

Oh and here's my posts from the last few days http://www.cliosport.net/forum/search.php?searchid=8488781 99% rather helpful and nice , or in jest i'd say!

 

[Gally]

The fact you can use commas, make me think you'll be fine.

Pics?

 

[melissajane.x3]

thanks gally! pics will follow tomorrow when it's home, providing i don't crash of course which seems to be a premonition, some 17 year olds do have brains

 

[Magic Johnson]

He meant of you. x

 

[ben_r1]

LOL I was agreeing with you!

And i was thanking you for doing so lol... :S

 

[Magic Johnson]

Oh, triple fail for me.

 

[Gally]

No I didn't.

But if she wishies to do so who am I to stop her.

 

[D2501]

No I didn't.

Lol what's that smell?

 

[Gally]

Are my trousers falling down?

 

[Magic Johnson]

Someone hasn't washed downstairs!

 

[D2501]

Lol lets wait until you've seen the pics for that :rasp:

 

[Magic Johnson]

*sniffs pants*

D'oh!!

 

[Gally]

Enough spam children.

I think the ladie asked a question.

 

[Magic Johnson]

It's been firmly answered.

Don't do nuffink to her car, and post pics of herself.

 

[prince stuart]

yeah as other people here have said- resist the temptation to drive like a dick! i wrote my 1.2 mk2 ph2 off by going round a roundabout too fast, then wiped it into a lamppost at 40. the post came into the car about 3 inches away from my knees I was lucky but i'm still getting raped for insurance now and that was 2 years ago. its weird now though that i've got a 182 i actually drive it like a granny most of the time! think the novelty has worn off (unless i pull up at the lights next to some chavs in a corsa who think they have a chance haha)

i can firmly reassure you that won't be happening pictures of car maybe, not me...like to remain mysterious..

 

[D2501]

Enough spam children.

To the OP, just take it steady until you get to know the car, how it handles, the dimensions etc and build up some NCB. Worst thing you can do as others have said is wrap it around a tree at this early stage - you'll end up paying for it for many years! Enjoy and be safe

 

[ben_r1]

A few tasteful mods can be done to a 1.2 though, just not induction kits and manifold and remaps etc.

Otherwise it'll get pretty boring quickly.
