Daan started it by making that comment about how I didn't know anything about his country. Well of course I don't know anything about your crappy country. I don't wanna learn anything about it. I was saying that ahead of time, but no he had to make a remark about it.
This is a dispute that you're never going to win. Blaming Daan is one of the last things you want to do, here.

And for the insurance thing...YOU DON'T HAVE TO OWN A CAR to be under your parent's policy. Thats what I'm saying
That's fine, except for two things --

1. If AD27 didn't want a car, chances are this thread wouldn't exist, and...

2. Since he does want a car and will presumably be buying one, he'll be getting it insured, and he'll be the primary driver, because, well, he'll be the one driving it the most.

Also have you ever gone over the speed limit? If so then go turn yourself into the police because you believe that the government or high authority should know about everything you do.
I never said that the government should know about everything I do. I said that not telling the government about the things you do doesn't make it any less wrong.

The bottom line is that if AD27 doesn't want to commit insurance fraud, saying "it's not like they're gonna know" is a moot point.

You have no reason to be here than do you? You really oughta leave. No one here is intrested in your near-sighted, tunnel visioned remarks eh?

Flipping out cause some guy stated the obvious, okay I do that to.

Insulting his homeland for no good reason, seriously uncool.
 
First off, I want to say that I think this is getting out of hand. OK, who am I to comment? Some random kid.

AD27 happens to be my best friend and i came across this post completely accidentally and unexpectedly..... wtf?

I don't go around calling America 'crappy' - only the people in it who are bigoted, narrow-minded, arrogant fools. So there. Maybe I am bigoted, narrow-minded and arrogant too, but.....

Back to the debate in question..... Although he has a ****load o money to blow on a first car (£10k is a hell of a lot (thats twenty-one thousand USD, count em)) (ooh double bracket) he doesn't want to spend all of that on a first car because he will break it and cry. I would dream of owning my Dad's 1964 Hillman Imp (RR, 998cc, ~90bhp, a mini 911 so to speak) I would never trust myself with it as I too, inevitably, would break it. Hell, it has trouble with speed humps.

I am proud to say that I will end up with a 2001 Rover 25 1.4 Advantage - which is worth bugger all (demise of Rover, £1500) that was bought as a driving school car. Hell, how cool is it to have TWO clutch pedals? Or more importantly two brake pedals so I can slow AD27 down whilst he is trying to ruin my rubber whilst hurling the poor little thing around some godforsaken twisty.

So... what's the point in suggesting something which may, legally, work in the US but you have no idea if it works in the UK?

Oh yes - that'll be no point at all.


And for the insurance thing...YOU DON'T HAVE TO OWN A CAR to be under your parent's policy. Thats what I'm saying

And in the UK the CAR is insured for the person, not the person for the car. The policy is for the car - and the main driver on the policy must be the registered keeper.

Also have you ever gone over the speed limit? If so then go turn yourself into the police because you believe that the government or high authority should know about everything you do.

So, one assumes you drive your car with no legal documentation whatsoever at any speed you like, in any direction you like - after all you're advocating insurance fraud. Oh no, wait, that's a logical fallacy - wouldn't want to make your mistake.


Here's a thought. If you don't know an answer, don't post an answer. Then you don't have to get all stroppy when picked up on it and start slinging mud around in a vain attempt to defend yourself - and nobody has to issue any Infractions for your behaviour. Deal?
 
O ya I'm sorry that the UK sucks major and that you all have to drive POS small cars while paying $9 a gallon for gas (chuckles).
Yeah, it sucks that all of us drive POS small cars. :rolleyes:

I started it? I wasn't the one making posts and telling people what kind of car to buy, when I know nothing of the country in question. Go and help YSSMAN, or another American, to pick a car, 'cos you're absolutely no help here.

I think I'll go into YSSMAN's thread and suggest he buys a Peugeot 407 diesel. The reason I don't do that is because I know you don't get them.

What does the quote I have in my sig from Duke mean?
 
Yeaaa OK, my car's a real "POS small car" 👍
Of course it is. Its the law.

Section 55, Approval of design, construction, equipment and marking of vehicles, of the Road Traffic Act 1988 states.
55.—(1) Where the Secretary of State is satisfied on application made to him by the manufacturer of a vehicle of a class to which regulations under section 54 of this Act apply and after examination of the vehicle—

(a) that the vehicle complies with the relevant type approval requirements, and

(b) that adequate arrangements have been made to secure that other vehicles purporting to conform with that vehicle in the relevant aspects of design, construction, equipment and marking will so conform in all respects or with such variations as may be permitted and

(c) that is is a POS small car,

he may approve that vehicle as a type vehicle.
 
O ya I'm sorry that the UK sucks major and that you all have to drive POS small cars while paying $9 a gallon for gas (chuckles).
First of all learn to spell. Secondly, we don't all drive POS small cars. Thirdly, if you know nothing about our country and you don't want to know anything about our country, just what exactley are you basing your opinion on? Driving in the UK IS expensive, particularly to younger drivers who are often forced to buy something cheap which is often something small, but is a small car automatically a POS? No, how narrow minded of you to think so. Also not all young drivers drive small cars, you can get insurance on a mid sized car like a Ford Mondeo pretty cheap and you can buy a second hand one pretty cheap as well. At least, relative to other UK pricees. You know nothing about the way things work here, so just don't bother commenting. It's pointless.
 
Yeaaa OK, my car's a real "POS small car" 👍

Ya I'm sure mines still faster

This is a dispute that you're never going to win. Blaming Daan is one of the last things you want to do, here.

O cuz I might get banned? Wow I'll just make another account (this is my 2nd one, first one got banned, haha never figured that out did u)

You have no reason to be here than do you? You really oughta leave. No one here is intrested in your near-sighted, tunnel visioned remarks eh?

Ya I'm pretty much done at this horrible forum anyways. All the mods are pricks at this place. If somebody makes a bad topic or ask a dumb question you guys go all over him. Ridiculous.

At my other forums Im member to that doesn't happen. People are nice and if someone makes a mistake, no big deal, no one says anything about it.

What do you drive?

He probably didn't, but I bet the mods did.

Ya I'm pretty much done at this horrible forum anyways.
It's funny how the only people to ever say that are people that lack respect, people who are ignorant and often have bg ego's.

If somebody makes a bad topic or ask a dumb question you guys go all over him. Ridiculous.
Generally, if you are a valued member, or new, you get politely corrected. If your someone who has started to gain a reputation for it, people are less patient.

At my other forums Im member to that doesn't happen. People are nice and if someone makes a mistake, no big deal, no one says anything about it.
And that's why most other forums r ful ov cr4p. They have low standards.

Yep. Daan posted your new details up in the Moderator's Forum, in the thread for your old account, on the day you registered.

Kthnxbi!

With a name like that you just had to say that. Serious, how much does your car weigh?

I'd also like to make an observation, it seems every time a new car thread is made about a British member we get a foreign member (sorry, but mainly American) making suggestions that are completely pointless and 99% of the time could have been avoided if they just checked the location or perhaps even read the first 4 posts.
 
What do you drive?

Limited Edition Monte Carlo SS, Supercharged 3.8L V6, ya I'm sure its faster than ur car
And that's why most other forums r ful ov cr4p. They have low standards.

HA! I have learned WAY more about cars on other forums that this one.

I won't believe that until you say what my old account name was...

bout 3400 lbs

Cuz generally Americans don't know/like British
 
I'm having to agree with ExgieExcel. I'm sure we all apricate the Us suggestions and comment but no affense but please research something before you say something which you dont know what your on about. This may not be true but this thread is making the Us steriotype true (that they believe everything is like america) i'm sure thats not the case but it looks like it.

And yeah how much does your car weigh? If anyones seen the last Clarkson Video "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" you'll soon learn power isn't everything.

"Its the American Eagle against the British Mosquito" he he :)

And everyone CHILL! we all know Europian cars are better than the US's :lol:

That's a pretty daft thing to say when you don't know what the other person drives.

Anyway, 240bhp in a front wheel drive car that weighs 3400lbs? Surely it'll just sit there and burn rubber?

Cuz generally Americans don't know/like British
Well, you've proven you don't, but you can't speak for the rest of your country.

But anyway, why does Mr V8powaaaah drive a V6?

Quite. And a 15.0s 1/4 mile doesn't exactly send the crowd running for cover.

I don't care.

I thought you were "done at this horrible forum"? Typical troll, just can't stay away.

Well as any true car guy knows its torque that matters, my car has 280, so yes it can very easily sit there an burn the tires. Also I happen to have a Chevy Silverado with a V8, but its not as fast as the Monte so I didn't mention it.

I don't care.

Umm thats just a 3rd party opinion. Talk to any Monte enthusiasts and they will tell you that the Supercharged SS Montes are sleepers. It can beat a Mustang GT for that matter. And the new SS Montes have a 5.3L V8 which gives it a 0-60 time of 5.6seconds. Fast Id say

HAHA i just noticed I believe my car is faster than the mods. Cuz they didn't seem to put up a fight by saying what they drive. I knew it

Why not drive a diesel then?

As any true car guy knows, power is a derived value from torque so it's not either/or that matter, rather both.

But not yours. So not strictly relevant.

HAHA i just noticed I believe my car is faster than the mods.

Yes, I certainly can't run a 1/4 mile in 15 seconds. I'd be pooped after just a couple hundred yards.

Cuz they didn't seem to put up a fight by saying what they drive. I knew it

Seeing as it's irrelevant to a thread about what first car a guy should buy, you're right, none of the moderators in this thread have posted up their cars. Maybe there's a lesson in there for you.

Your penchant for fighting is what got you in trouble last time.

Incidentally, I note you're still here, despite supposedly leaving nearly 24 hours ago.

And go cry yourself to sleep, because what you will see here is a 2002 Monte Carlo running 12.9s at the 1/4 mile. Keep in mind in 2002 they DIDN'T EVEN HAVE the supercharged edition. Shows what a little tuning will do in American cars.

Ya diesel trucks kick a.s.s...o wait u live in Europe, I guess you meant cars, ya diesel cars suck

Anyways ya the mods are just a bunch of wimps for not posting their rides. Whatever I haven't left yet cuz I had to show all these stupid Europeans a thing or to about cars.

And everyone CHILL! we all know Europian cars are better than the US's

PLEASE watch this video before you say that

Our cars can be found on this site, but they are not in this thread as they are not relevant to it. Message not getting through yet, I guess?

b) AD27's first car?


Worst. Troll. EvAr.

O I thought you would get it but I guess because you mods are all stupid morons I guess I will have to explain. I drive American, AD27 said European cars are better, that video shows true American power. There you go.

Just remember while you Europeans are driving little 1.2L 4 cylinders, Americans are driving V8s in upwards of 5.0 L and burning gas like theres no tomorrow, HELLS YA

O one more thing

CYA LOSERS!!!
(ps, you don't even have to waste time by banning me, obviously I'm done with this fricken stupid forum)
 
Diesel cars do not suck, they get at least 35 mpg, usually; and are not loud, as most people think.

Interesting theory. You aren't though - one of your cars is a V6...

Still has nothing to do with either your car or AD27's choice of first car.


(ps, you don't even have to waste time by banning me, obviously I'm done with this fricken stupid forum)

You've said that before, yet you just can't keep yourself away.
 
Limited Edition Monte Carlo SS, Supercharged 3.8L V6, ya I'm sure its faster than ur car
It's faster than my car, but you know what. I don't care. I have two cars, so that me and the missues are never stuck without transport. I don't own either of my cars to track them, I own them to commute. Nor do I consider my e-penis to be that important. I know people with faster cars than mine, faster cars than yours. If I wanted to I could buy a car that would run rings around yours at a track. I just choose not to, because a secure financial future is more important to me.

HA! I have learned WAY more about cars on other forums that this one.
So, I can just say the opposite, which is actually true. I've learned far more from people on here like Scaff who are highly knowledgable about cars and how different aspects of them work and can explain them in a way I can understand. Which in itself is amazing.

Cuz generally Americans don't know/like British
How would like to back that up? Why don't you ask a few on this forum eh?

Umm thats just a 3rd party opinion. Talk to any Monte enthusiasts and they will tell you that the Supercharged SS Montes are sleepers.
Talk to any thick 13 year old and they'll tell you that a Dodge Neon SRT/4 can run rings around an Enzo. So what.

It can beat a Mustang GT for that matter. And the new SS Montes have a 5.3L V8 which gives it a 0-60 time of 5.6seconds. Fast Id say
Yeah, but so what.

HAHA i just noticed I believe my car is faster than the mods. Cuz they didn't seem to put up a fight by saying what they drive. I knew it
Who cares, and as Famine said, why would they bother in this thread.

And go cry yourself to sleep, because what you will see here is a 2002 Monte Carlo running 12.9s at the 1/4 mile. Keep in mind in 2002 they DIDN'T EVEN HAVE the supercharged edition. Shows what a little tuning will do in American cars.
When it's that full of mods, the fact it's not a supercharged edition is kind of meaningless.

Ya diesel trucks kick a.s.s...o wait u live in Europe, I guess you meant cars, ya diesel cars suck
You are behind the times, honestly, you fit so many of the negative steriotypes people have about Americans it's not funny. Fortunately most of the regular members on here are beyond steriotyping.

Anyways ya the mods are just a bunch of wimps for not posting their rides.
Your a wimp for not adimtting you were in the wrong in the first place.

Whatever I haven't left yet cuz I had to show all these stupid Europeans a thing or to about cars.
Well go on show us something, show us something that matters. Because I would bet a hell of a lot of money that Scaff would beat you to a bloody pulp when it comes to knowledge about cars. I wouldn't, but then I've never claimed to be some highly knowledgable car god. People with over inflated ego's and extended e-penis' however do tend to make these claims, and that is not a quality that is desirable for someone to have.

O I'm sorry that the Cobra owns everything (including the M3)
Why? Because it's fast over a 1/4 mile :lol::lol::lol:.
 
AD27 said European cars are better, that video shows true American power. There you go.

There is 1000hp+ modified American cars, European cars, Japanese cars, Australian cars getting around that would beat that modified Mustang, what is your point? Proves nothing.

I Wont even bother with the rest of your post/s.
 
Hmm, I hate to get into this argument Famine, but I have to say this.

@V8 Power, who has won most of the races in the world? European cars, therefore, they are fundamentally better than Our home-grown cars.

EDIT! I don't hate British, I actually quite like them. :)
 
As a starter car, i say a Honda civic for you. Actually, the thing i did for when getting my sister her first car was look in the salavage yard to see what car they had the most of, turned out to be Chevy Cavaliers from the year 83-96. Picked her up a 93 with low mileage {78,000} and never really had an trouble with it {except for the alternator going on it, problem with ignition cylinder} till about 150,000 miles when the tranmission started to slip when putting it into reverse. But by then, she had enough cash to get a new car.

Just stay away from newer VW's. Their quailty as of the last few years have gone down the tubes.
