WHAT A CAR. First drive last night. Definitely more then I was expecting! Scared my girlfriend and I didn't even break the speed limit. It was just how quick it gets to the speed limit that is amazing - such a powerfull engine. Wow

THIS is what I mean Jay! No need to go on the defensive, I think the vast majority of members on the forum would agree it's a fast car!

Let's do a poll!!

Winner gets that £1

I'm not going on the defensive, what do I need to defend? lol.
Just disagreeing with you. From memory you're not that old either, early 20s?
i'm sure we could all scare someone we know without even driving

It's OK, my first car was a Corsa C 1.4 with a combat bodykit (all fibreglass goodness), ebay bucket seats, 19 inch Konig wheels.

basically this with different wheels.

Welcome along mate, very jealous of your first car  (had a 1.0L 106 myself)

What spec and colour Gti have you got, get some pics up in members rides, not that i can say much as I haven't introduced mine yet either

I had a Cinquecento as my first car too, back before the Inbetweeners i might add! A letterbox red Sporting model. My dad used to call it a postman pat van  Had a grand total of 54hp if i remember rightly

[Spankiee]

3 stud compomotive mo alloys were the daddy

  got to love the 3 studs, it all started from a set of MO'S for me too

Passed my test 37 years ago more or less to the day, my dad bought me a Mini 1000 for £1095.00 - I wanted the Capri 1600 XL next to it at the same money (3 years older) - he said no chance you'll kill yourself.
He was right  and I nearly did in the Mini LOL.
I'm sorry as much as you feel bomb proof and all knowing at 17 I'd have said no until you've got serious miles and road sense under your belt... you've got your whole life in front of you.
At least at 23 you've obviously got road sense - for now though as you've already got it, just go real steady 
Good luck and enjoy

i think lack of BHP nearly killed me more times than too much ha ha

that ohhhhhhh sh*tttttttt moment as your trying to over take

Tell me about it! Its so hard to keep to the speed limits in this 

[Jonneh]

Good lad and congrats!

My first car was a Mk2 Golf GTI 8v when i was 17 - it's still in the family now and has been since new! It taught me a hell of a lot about driving but it was a steep learning curve. Not teaching you to suck eggs but treat it with respect and you'll be fine.
