Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Although I feel I should say that America has some DAMN fine mountain roads and I'd give anything to take my bike up there..

Hmm, even your bike?

Quote from DeKo :the difference is, what is on the speedo at 100+ doesnt relate at all to what the car is actually doing, they get very very innacurate when they get to that speed.

Don't I know it, mine said 115 once, yea right.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :A 1.4 Fiesta will get 120mph (maybe) which is more than your peice of American shite, look at your roads too, shite unless you live in the canyons

Yea, a stock fiesta wont do 120mph, unless it's down hill, will have to be a pretty big hill at that though.

On the other hand, 1.4 golfs go over 120 easy.

Quote from Takumi_lfs :Actually the thing is, When your gonna post a picture of your girlfriend on the net you should know the consequences. It's not TVE fault neither it is jack's. I think you guys are taking this a bit too serious, it was a joke afterall.

Yea, it's not his fault at all for comparing someones girlfriend to an ape.

Quote from The Very End :That reminds me of Jakg's girlfriend.

That's a bit personal is it not?

It's fine to take the piss out of someone you know, but moving onto people you don't even know is quite sad.

I would of been on a traders policy but you have to have had your licence for more than 1 or 2 years, I don't know if their all like that but it will certainly bump up the price if a 17 year old driver is put on the policy.

Nice info Psycho, I knew that the cost of public transport was going up but I didn't realise it had went up by so much, though I didn't think that the cost of driving had gone down....

Quote from Velociround :Why Brazilian? They look more like korean IMO.

Are you joking? A Brazilian doesn't know what a Brazilian is?

I don't get the golf one, I do think it looks good and I don't think seeing anyones penis would look better.

Well, if you put it that way you have to count all the other things you pay for, like insurance, tax and the maintenance of your car/bike.

Also, if you were traveling by train to work everyday you wouldn't just pay the 3.20 everytime you got there, you would buy a monthly ticket or soemthing....

Quote from ajp71 :Utter bollocks... I took my test in a 2 litre car.

Insurance companies also always ask what type of license you have when you take out insurance...

Popped into my head too, my big brother sat his test and drove around in a 2.0 turbo diesle audi, actually made me laugh reading his comment.

Quote from ajp71 :Try getting a quote on something that isn't such a commonly crashed car by young drivers, whilst Corsas may be chavved up and crashed by those wanting a 'wicked sub install' Kas and Micras are crashed lots by incompetent young drivers, more typically the types who just can't drive and have somehow managed to pass their test on the third attempt. My Dad's 1.6 Focus was only £800 comprehensive with Tesco with me as a named driver.

My mates parents have a 1.6 focus LX and he's insured on that untill he gets his own car, they're only group 5 insurance which is quite low for such a fun car which is relatively fast.

I was going to downgrade from my 1.4 golf to a 1.4 polo, but upon checking the stats on it I found it was group 10 insurance for the standard model which is crazy, but it does have 100bhp and is quite fast, but still, 1.8 astra sports can be insured for less.

I have my mum as a named driver on my policy, but try elephant directly for a quote, they were by far the cheapest for my own policy.

Who are you getting quotes from? When I went TPFT with elephant it actually went up, same with alot of other insurers.

Here's an A3 we also have at the garage, fricking beautiful, 1.6 though they are still group 9 insurance, we had a 1.8 turbo in once, no one would ever give me a quote.

I've only had the golf 6 months (first tax is up at the end of the month ) I was 18 when I got the golf, I had the corsa for about 16 months, that was 600 through my mums insurance then 220 for the next year with direct line, but haha, for some reason they put my insurance through as a husband and wife policy, so it came through much cheaper because they thought my mum was my partner......hahahahah.

Once we all realised the mistake when I was canceling the policy they tried to charge me £250, yea right.

You can get a mk4 golf quite cheap nowadays, mine cost me no more than £1300 so far and that includes some problems i've had with it, thougth I baught it when it had a few scrapes and scratches on it from an auction and got the paintjob etc done rather cheaply on it.

I'd seirously price a 1.4 E golf though, stay clear of the 1.6's though, they might have 25bhp more, but the 1.4's sell for more because the 1.6 just plain sucks...

My golf MK4 1.4 is only group 4 insurance, which is facking cheap, this year is my first year under my own insurance and it was only £750 with elephant who seem to be the best insurers for young drivers.

The only thing is the 1.4 only has 75bhp, 0-60 in 13.6 seconds which is dog slow compared to 1.2 clios etc, but above 70 it seems to fly along rather easily.

I would recommend the older MK3s but we have a 1.4SE one of those in at our garage and it's group 8 insurance and only 60bhp...

I started out with a 1.2 corsa with nly 40bhp and to be honest, you don't really need a "fast" car and the chances are your gunna give it a few scrapes.

The only thing I would say about the golf is that modifying them can be quite pricey, though what can you expect from such a german pimp mobile?

Just my 2c, I know there's most definetely better first cars out their, but when I thought about golfs I allways figured the insurance and maintenance would be quite high, but I guess with it not being such a young persons car it's alot cheaper than you expect.

Btw, with a 1.2 punto I was quoted £850 a year (Well it's a 10 month policy, but you still get the 1 years no claims) and I can get about 36-40mpg out of a tank of fuel and i'm not the most conservative driver out there...

Good stuff Arechee, I think I have some spare time on Sunday night to try and come up with 5 tenths, though to be honest most of my laps are within a few tenths of the WR, so these 5 tenths wont come easy.

Good to have something to make me play LFS though, havn't had any sort of motivation at all lately, hopefully if we get this new patch things will spice up again.

I'm sure I can remember Victor saying that he still has all the charts from the previous patches saved and there will be some sort of hall of fame in the future, don't quote me on that though.

It's quite true though, you can see Arechee even got bored and just wanted to put in any old lap to get the first place like KyGP FZR.

I done the same with a few laps when I done it months ago, what's the point in wasting time on a hotlap when you don't need to?

Anyhow, I suppose I have to update some hotlaps, though it's not gunna be easy to beat him at all, especcially when he has quite a few laps where he has quite alot of time to gain.

Grats.

I wondered what the lack of new Arechee WR's meant over the past few days.

I'm also tempted to post a picture of AMB's profile status, but that was so inevitable that they would start calling me captain obvious.

Yea, most people use that when driving the MRT/FBMW, but instead of pressing the clutch they pull the lever to shift, hold it in then lift off a tiny bit to change gear, stops you missing gears.
