Soopah has got a point mind.

You seem to be a bit of a magnet for mishaps. Certainly the one whos had the most accidents on these forums.

Perhaps something a little safer should be considered?

:D :lol: :P

But you also save a lot of dosh if you manage to get yourself a goodun. A £20k car can drop half in three years and if you get a low mileage one youre well into profit.

Mitsu Eclipse? Here theyre popular with ricers and Mexican youth. Not that it speaks of the cars quality, theyre quite popular simply because theyre tunable, but in the states the older ones do have a cultural connotation.

If its fun to drive, go for it.

I was waiting for that, but at what point did I endanger anyone.

34 in a 30?
Is that dangerous?

Is not reading the conditions of the road correctly and sliding into a farmers field dangerous?

Also seeing as Ive been driving various cars around tracks and whatnot since the age of around 10, as well as riding motorbikes from a similar age, I feel I can control a car better than most my age.  Might not be true mind.

Points on a licence dont make an unsafe driver.  One of my mates used to drive home from work pissed up.  Never got stopped.  Crashed once though.

He has 3 years no claims, and no points.

Also, who would you prefer to get into a car with, someone with a record of crashing a few cars, or someone whos gone a little too fast?
