Ooh, at a Guildford meet I had 2 young ish kids come up (about 10-11 maybe), and we were generaly chatting about the car, one of them said "How can you afford this car, you must have left school early?" WTF!! I told him I had to work hard, went to college and was now at University, and there's no way I would have got it without all that! :D

Student loans mate, the government lends upto £10,000, thats how i manged to have three cars before i am 30, and i am only 28, at 18 my 1st car was a ford escort finesse which got brand new in 1998, then sold it in 2004 and got a mint fully loaded Mitsubishi FTO GPX, then in 2007 sold the FTO and got the supra.

 

The loan which you dont have to pay back till your earning over £16,000 a year, even when earning that amount they only take around £20 - £30 a month.

I was an apprentice Engineer, so I was working and doing college part time, then I started an OU degree when I finished my apprenticeship.

Which is what I meant by hard work, full time job plus a couple of hours in the evening at college!

It's 9% or 11% (cant remember which) of everything you earn (pre-tax) over £15,000. My student loan helped me live, so I'm not sure how you qualified for one if you were able to afford to blow it on cars!! :)

If I had a student loan I think I would end up blowing it on cars and probably end up sleeping in them:d

 

Still got to be cheaper than drinking every night though.

Got asked if my car was a deisel as it had turbos....

 

Was asked was that an FTO before i put a bodykit on it....however my car has a stock exterior !!

 

I went to a local garage in lymington to see about a service a while back, the garage owner came out and said "oh yeah i know these...nice to work on... although had a few issues with the 4 wheel drive system" i said they dont have 4 wheel drive they only came in RWD in which he then pretty much argued back that they do... in which i left promptly.

OMFG - some misfit said this to me in the McDonalds car park in Benson. Moments later his mate drove the Golf (a 8v MK3 GTi) straight into the drive thru barrier and smashed his front wing/headlamp :D

 

That's brilliant lol had me laugh out loud in the Office. Good Job I am on my own.

 

never had the fto or subaru comment tbh...

 

Nor did I. I just get cheesy smiles from Blokes when they Realise a Woman drives a better Car then they do.

 

" why do you have i love blackie on your car?"

 

 

:rlol: :rlol:

 

Our Supra is parked below my Window of the Room I got my PC in. I spend quite a lot of time online and very often hear people Comment on the Supra as they walk past, which is amusing.

Went to the university of glamorgan and studied for an HND in computer studies for 2 years graduated, university offered me the chance to get a BSc Degree in computing for only 2 years, i took it and graduated, univesity was only 5 miles away, and i earn nearly £300 a week working for my family at our restaurant in the night since i was 18, and during the days i work for the welsh assembly goverment.
