Happy Birthday Ferretchucker

Hope you had a good one mate, 17 is the age when you can get your provisional driving licence so can we expect youtube vids of our FC doing handbrake turns?

Had my first lesson on Wednesday and got an X reg Fiat Punto from my parents, so watch this space!

My first car was a Fiat Punto, absolute shit tip of car it was too. Just be aware my young friend, the gearbox and clutch on those things are notoriously shite and the exhaust pipe rusts like a mo-fo. Its a good learning curve for a new driver though!

I hope that ain't like our [ U.S ] Ford Pinto



They were prone to blowing up if rear-ended.

I actually had one of these "back-in-the-day"

I'll watch out for that, Scouse. I guess it will at least teach me what the worst case can feel like!

And this is fairly different to that, Newb, although your pinto at least looks fairly cool. :P
