first car - drifter or offroader

^^ nicer way of putting what i said

you cant drive but you want to drift because you watched the fast and the furious one too many times.

 

Get a nice looking bag-o-shite for the forst 12 months because as its your first car you still have a lot to learn and chances are youre going to scratch it up, have a few fender benders or if everything really does go the shape of the pear...write it off completely.

I think the reason so many young drivers crash nowadays is bacause of power steering. It fools you into thinking yur car handles better than it actually does. Personally I hate power-steering, i like to have a good sensation of feeling what my car is doing when I drive.

If you want a nippy car that dont look too bad and is easy to drive i would recommend a citroen ax-gt. Fast little fuckers, cheap to run, easy to park and they wont break the bank. I've had 2 of them.

 

Get a Vauxhall Agila

Cheap to run, will touch 90 (on the clock) 45MPG, and no one will look at you twice. I've got one. Sopmetimes it's useful to look like a sensible old cunt.

 

yup true, i dont understand how u can get a bmw e30 etc! insurance will still be sky high for one of them mate trust me! even people saying classic insurance like capri or a 2litre mondeo! unless the car is stupidly high your insurance will rocket! Want to drift!? by a car. DONT use it on the road, just make a track car, proper drift car! go to a track and your sorted! i doubt ull drift much on the open road anyway cause the second u do you'll write the car off nd probably take alot with ya!

 

1975 Land-Rover Series 3, SWB, oversize tyres, tatty bodywork, bit of rust, oil burner, no radio, no PAS, no central locking, rear wheel drive unless 4wd activated, 18-20 mpg. perfect first car.

 

haha perfect first car for you chris! id stick with a clio! :w00t:

 

yeh thats what i would like , u wernt being sarcastic were u ?

 

capris do seem difficult at 1st to park...the bonnet is looong!!! you cant see the end of it....

but you will get used to it after a while....capris are very tunable...The 2.0litre engine just drops straight into a 1.6 direct swap like for like and can be tuned upto 200+bhp...

The only problem being its getting harder to get a reasonably priced capri these days!!

Heres a capri doing what they do best.....Drifting!!!

 

the cars in general seem t be massive i want something bit more sat up like a mk2 escort

 

Have you seen the price half decent mk2 escorts fetch these days :w00t:

Good luck son

 

not far off a capri ill just get a half rusty one n get dave the welder on it (dad)
