Your car when you was 19

[mrc300]

Because im at university im getting bloody frustrated that i can only own and drive my 1.2. I've got a part time job but obviously i can't sustain a fulltime job with studying midweek etc.

Just wondered what evrybody else was driving at the same age and whether you were at uni.

 

[Rob.H]

[Pep]

not 19 yet, but will probably still be my 1.2 dynamique...

 

[mrc300]

Jeez uni is a b**ch, in one year i've got a work placement, should be on about 15-17k so hopefully i can get an S2 106 Rallye and get myself onto the hot hatch ladder

Waitey how much did the Westfield set you back?

 

[Michael172]

Got my 1.2 expression im afraid. Im only 18 but will be 19 in November. Ill still have it by then i think. I am a full time student ( which includes going to college tuesday 9-5 and wednesday 9-5) and work part time. do about 24 hrs a week and if its of any interest to you my income is about 550+ every 28days/4 weeks. Thats about 7700PerAnnum

£5k.

I sold the 172 i had when i was 17 for £5250 iirc

 

[mrc300]

when i see people like 21/22 with 182's i get kinda depressed coz i can't do much about it. I got a parttime job at a garden centre but pay is only £4.60 an hour.

Do you guys get the 172's/182's on finance or buy them outright?

 

[Andy1.2]

[mrc300]

wtf how did you have a 172 at 17 you lucky barsteward!
more importantly how did you get insured.

 

[donuthead]

B reg, silver, 1.3 Nova SR. Man, I loved that shed!! 13inch tsw's- not lowered! eyebrow spoilers I made myself out carbon-fibre look-a-like sheeting that came free with Fast Car mag, illuminous blue longmill stereo, green strobe light- inside!! a polo mint sized steering wheel, stickers strategically placed to cover up rust patches, and where laquer had started peeling off. What on earth was I thinking, it looked bluddy terrible..... LOL I loved it!!!!!

just had a look at the job opportunities offshore, were you an actual driller? or more of a 'Roustabouts (general labourers)' jesus the pay is sweet, 40-60k for someone with no experience.

 

[Laura]

pay is ace but say bye to life as you know it. my bf got a job offshore and after 6 months of him doing 3 weeks on 3 weeks off i couldnt hack it.
he was always away and when he was back was just waiting for him to go again
