  1. Yeah I know that, but what I am trying to explain...is that people are asking why he isn't getting a tougher punishment when he was doing 128mph..but as far as the courts are concerned he was doing 104!
  2. The thing is, there isn't a dead set rule book for things like this. Personally I think there should be. If you caught doing over 100mph, you should get x amount of time ban. No matter what your circumstances are. Cause as far as I am concerned, if you lose your job through it it's your own fault. You risked it by doing them speeds!! Oh, and people keep mentioning that he should be punished more for doing 128pmh, but I am sure he said they only had proof at 104??
  3. Alot of driving instructors don't actually take you on the motorway/dual carriage way at all when you are learning. Which I think is a key thing you should be learning. My instructor never took me on one, so they day I passed I got in my car and drove around the dual's to get used to driving on them. Because they are alot different to normal roads. Especially when pulling out to overtake etc. Many people miss judge the speed at which people are driving at behind them, and pull out in front of people. Least you've learnt ya lesson mate!
  4. Yeah I do agree that it's a ridiculous amount for a car that old. And for a standard Clio. But there are people in this world, who go and buy something on finance without realising the total cost. He has probably just fell in love with the car, and decided that it doesn't matter about the cost and he can handle paying it. The point that worried me for this sake, was the fact that he is only an apprentice with 2 part time jobs. I would hate to his it go wrong for him and not be able to make payments. The reason I got a loan instead of finance was obviously interest rates, and the fact that
  5. Doesn't seem like much of a punishment, I seriously thought you got alot more for going over 100mph. But I suppose you'll still get points, so that will be tough on insurance! Speed limits are speed limits, but everyone on this forum with a licence has gone over a speed limit on a road at some point. No one can deny that! 128mph is silly, but I have been in a car doing alot more than that so I can't say 'Oh my god, your such a dick thats dangerous'. The roads are dangerous, no matter whether your speeding or not. I am sure Molovin has learnt his lesson, because he has now had to get rid of
  6. Congratulations! 2 minors is very good!
  7. I do agree that it isn't nice that everyone is really slating him, because at the end of the day it was his decision and he will have to live with that if he decides that he made a mistake. From the responses he has had, he probably feels gutted deep down that he got ripped off. Everyone knows that finance is a rip off, and you always pay more than the car is worth back. Fair enough with some companies you don't pay too much interest, but you will always pay more than the car is worth. But that's what finance is all about. Most people with common sense know this before agreeing to it. My ca
  8. Yummy! Benny & Jerry's Core Icecream is soo nice!! And expensive normally! I think the cinema is a rip off at nearly £8 each! I remember the days of paying £2.50 ha ha ha
  9. Sparky - Transformers 2 is out Friday! But I am going next week so I can do Orange Wednesday's 2 for 1!! Yes I am a tight arse!
  10. Something like this is a good idea: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1072986.htm Or this minus the gay rear lights: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1047114.htm
  11. The only thing that springs to my mind, is a Honda Civic or something alike. The thing is, under a grand usually means it won't be great condition unless your mega lucky! But Honda's are reliable, and normally cheap to run. Insurance is cheap also. And they can look nice with simple mods. Or again a Micra!
  12. There are some nice cars on there! But it does seem slightly dodgy!
  13. As Sparky, I have seen both Xmen and Terminator and loved them both!! Going to see Transformers 2 next week, cannot wait it looks epic! And I wanna see the new Johnny Deep film Public Enemies with Christian Bale also. It looks really good!

  21. Ewww...definate no from me! Kits this big just make the car look like some chavvy'd up Corsa!! Why oh why would you do that to a decent car!!
  22. That does look crazy! The Golf looks cool! I have a soft spot for the older one's. Although, I am sure he has spent mega bucks on it to get it that fast!
  23. Sounds like your having a good a time! My bloke rented a Mustang when he went to Texas. It was nice, but all they had was auto's!
