Got My First Car!

It's an old fiat MK1 punto 1.2L 8V 97" but it's in great condition for a 12 year old car. Got it cheap at only £250 and my dad who is an auto mechanic says it runs great!
Picture:




We are going to do it up good and hopefully purchasing an induction kit tonight.

Let the good times roll - major milestone - congratulations.

Thanks lol. PLEASE NOTE: my mother in the background of the first pic taking the trash out! lol

Sending of for my provisional liscence tomorrow As soon as ive passed my dads taking me to a car auction to get a car, ive got about £3000 for a car but most of that will go towards petrol and insurance. either way im hoping to pass and be driving before the next summer holidays, and defo by the time im 18

I'm 17 on May 27th and hoping to pass around October time, that's 5 months. And remember, Micky James and Kev I am expecting a card! lol

NIce car matey. I've always liked those old Puntos. What's the damage for the insurance? I bet it's ENORMOUS! Make sure you do a Pass Plus course as the cost of it is tiny compared to the discount you'll get off your insurance. Most insurers that take it give you equivelant to a years no-claims bonus.

wow very nice for $250

Why would the insurance on that car be so much?

In england, new drivers usually have to pay loads in insurance, my bro had to pay £1000 in his first year :O

New drivers, especially teenage ones, and even more so male teenagers, are known for causing the most accidents and deaths on the roads in UK and so the Insurance companies charge them through the roof for insurance.

The main problem with this is that most of the troublesome ones just go out and drive with no insurance anyway!
