Paint it black and yellow, and start your own cab service.

You're thinking of Valhalla

**Merrion** · Jul 20th, 2004, 07:25 AM

Probably much cheaper to be a named driver on your uncle's policy and he keeps the car.

**Wokawidget** · Jul 20th, 2004, 07:28 AM

So you are 17...HAHAHAHA...£1500! HAHAHAHA.
I thought I was getting ripped off driving a 1.8i and paying £380!!!

Although that goes up to £1050 in Sept as I have lost all my no claims

Some muppet in Feb wrote off my car. He wasn't insured so had to claim on my insurance

Should get it all back...but when I don't know...GIT!

I would not get insured on it.
You have a few month b4 u go to uni. Where you going?

Sounds about right, when i had just passed I was getting quotes around £1000 on just about any car, I was looking in the L Reg kinda range but any car I tried it was the same. Mind if you put your self as the second driver and get someone else to put themselfs as the main driver then the cost comes down loads. Granted you won't earn any no claims but after a year or two the cost wil come down loads and then I'd switch to being the main driver.

For the time being though could I have that car? It would be perfect

. I keep meaning to look for a car but I think I'll be waiting another year

. Will definitly want one for my Work placement in a year.

**señorbadger** · Jul 20th, 2004, 11:48 AM

De Montfort University in Leicester

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 02:19 AM

lol did you do the Btec in computer studies. Thats what I did

**señorbadger** · Jul 21st, 2004, 03:13 AM

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 03:45 AM

Possibly the same thing.

Did you have to do a project to do with a company called Eurotec car hire?

It used to teach COBOL but it only does vb for 2 years now doesnt it?

**señorbadger** · Jul 21st, 2004, 03:47 AM

no project for that company just an iva

yeah it was vb for 2 years but we did some pascal too

**vbNeo** · Jul 21st, 2004, 04:43 AM

You guys are lucky, I have no education that's specifically pointed at programming here in Denmark, at least not till I get to the university in 4 years or so =(

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 04:45 AM

Why don't you take the car, and sell it...then go to uni with cash in ya back pocket for beer and drugs?

Woof

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 04:49 AM

Hut hum beer only

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 04:53 AM

HAHAHAHA...don't "hut hum" me little doggy.

Alcohol is the MOST nasty and harmful drug you can take. It's evil.
If it was invented tmrw then it would be illegal in every country in the world...except Norway, they are freaks there.

People seem to overlook alcohol as a drug, because, and the survey says "It's socially accepted"

But that's a completely different debate

Woooooooooooooooof

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:36 AM

Alcohol was used to steralise drinking water in towns

Still a 'Family' forum

We dont want brad and Martin arrested do we?

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:42 AM

True, family forum...so lets talk about alcohol being good and the rest of the drugs at our disposal are evil...

Also, certain drugs are legal in certain countries, therefore there's even less of a problem talking about it

I bet you think heroin is a really evil and nasty drug, worse than alcohol, and Oswald actually did kill JFK...Mwwahahahaha

Woka

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:48 AM

I didnt say it was good I said it was legal and usefull

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:50 AM

I'll give you that

But legal is not always right.

Bloody media slop jockies

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:53 AM

I think its right because I drink but dont do any drugs

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 05:56 AM

Hahaha...my point exactly

It's right, coz you've been told it's right and it's acceptable to do.
That doesn't mean other recreational drugs are bad...they are just illegal coz we have a ****ed up government.

Woof

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 06:10 AM

And we want less road accidents caused by stumbling people

**Wokawidget** · Jul 21st, 2004, 06:11 AM

Hahahaha BINGO!

**BodwadUK** · Jul 21st, 2004, 06:14 AM
