Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

And no, I am not driving a daweoo. ever.

Buy one new enough and you'll have a Chevy.

Your first car should be a shit/meh car. Then it can only get better. You learn to appreciate what a real car feels like instead of these overly assisted oversize boxes

Try fiat punto's and look at the seat arosa and citreon saxo/ax maybe the nova/corsa also look at the KA.

That Land Rover's a fucking stinker.

I like the DC concept - supposed to be replacement for the defender, not a countryman rival - looks,awesome in the flesh, I saw it at Goodwood a couple of months back on a photo shoot.

No matter what cr you get, if you live in London and are 17 you are fucked one way or another - if you have the cash insure it in your own name, as at least that way you will build up some no claims which willmgetmthe costs down sooner than being a named driver.

I would look at getting a second hand Panda 100hp - best fun little car with cheap insurance by a mile, will shit on the mini.

Oh that looks real nice actually, will check it out

V-L. I actually had a Works Cooper S for first car but I had it on a company policy. What about a Lupo? They're cool as fuck and cheap as chips...

That looks like a boil.

Arosa is lower insurance gruop even this its the same ish.

^wtf sentence?

V-L, you little yuppie, your first car will be shit.

V-L just put your mum/dad/guardian as the first named driver. it's still not going to be cheap though..

I had a Lupo Gti, great car, not sure if insurance would be cheap though - the 1.4 sport model might be cheaper

Arosa sport is cheaper insurance.

And have this just because I think it's beautiful.

Another Audi one.

Service at Tour de Corse, 1984. As you can see from this photo, this was the debut event for the Audi Sport Quattro, Walter Rohrl tried a sole SWB car.

Well worth scrolling down through this one:

Hey I need some advice. I've just brought my Mum a Mini Cooper (2004) for her 60th Birthday which is March next year. However my mum is a petrol head and i'd like to have it pumped up similar to what Brabus (www.brabus.com) do, only UK based. Im not really knowledgable regarding the current modification scene so can anyone recommend a suitable company. The closer to London the better.

Nurse Holiday would be your man (or woman, in the spirit of not being discriminatory) for that one.

PM Nurse Holiday, he knows a fair bit about the new mini scene.

Dammit, Nurse Holiday is male.

Are you sure? He does have girly hair
