Lol what absolute horseshit. Your firstborn gets a bloody Polo or Fiat 500 thing when they pass their test. Admiral aren’t sticking a black box in an A Class for a teenager.
Troll. Probably inspired by the (seemingly genuine) one by a woman whose husband is on a "fall and fall" and now earns only £120k plus bonus.
I got one of the new shape a-class Mercs when they first came out about 10 years ago. It was top of the range AMG version and easily one of the shittest cars I’ve had. Looked nice though.
I have a Nissan Micra and I love it. Easy to drive, easy to park, lots of miles per gallon. I’d be scared to drive a Range Rover. I’d love a fully restored VW campervan instead of a flashy sports car.
I test drove a Range Rover Sport once. Wonderful car. Didn’t but it for two reasons. One, have you seen the bleeping price of them? Two, I’d have lost my licence within a month. They’re like driving an armchair and before you know it you’re bursting the speed limit.
I love those cars. Nissan Micras, I mean.
I think anyone being a first - time driver is limited by the Insurance Companies to vehicles in the lowest insurance classes, initially - unless they have a named driver with longer experience on the policy ?
I had a very very old Micra once, a handmedown (even though I was an adult with 2 teens). Automatic. Terrible seats. We called her Petunia. We loved her. Unfortunately she died when I had to stop 8 times on a 4 mile journey home. I now have a 20 year old Seat Leon which leaks like a bloody sieve!
ETA Petunia because she was purple!
There's one near us! It's an E reg automatic from the late 1980s & it is still used once or twice a week. Looks ever so old fashioned now. Wind up windows!
There is a thread on MN called 'Invitation code - Tattle'. Apparently registration here has reopened but needs a referral code.
I don't have the ability to generate a code, I don't think so anyway, so if anyone else is so moved to help out...

I like any car that’s in good working order and paid off!
So agree! My current one has been owned and driven by my father in law, my sister in law, my niece and now me and my oldest when she's home - it's become a family heirloom!
My first car was an ancient Fiat that a friend’s mother sold me for £150. You could see the road through the gearstick fabric and it had a choke but it went on steadily until it failed an MOT on being mostly rust.
30 years after passing my test I’m yet to own a car that anyone could describe as exciting.

The poo trolls are out again . Husband and crappy pants and sponges . I'm lost , no idea whats going on .
Something about rinsing them down the toilet and the OP is being called grim for doing so instead of rinsing in a box?

I probably haven't posted enough to be able to generate one...how do you find out if you can? A kind MNer gave me mine, I hope she doesn't regret it.
I never bothered with driving but my brother's first car was a Nissan (Nee Datsun) Cherry.
He was showing it to me when I asked "What's that bulge?" and pressed on a paint blister with my thumb, the paint cracked open and a puff of rust appeared. The paint was pretty much holding it together.
He wasn't very pleased with myself and the dealer that sold it to him.

Just had my 4th ban, complete with a shaming post deletion informing everyone of my ban. Am I going to have to get a VPN now? Sigh.
