    How easy is it to fail the driving test?

    I'll try to be constructive... Ok so when you next go for your test, be very careful around roundabouts! I know someone who instantly failed because they 'mounted' it - it was just a light nudge but thats all it took. Also, when exiting the roundabout, don't forget to have a quick look over...

    Custom Plates?

    HAHAHA last week, no joke, I saw a black Lexus with the custom plate "RUSSIAN". Must cost a bomb for 7th character. New trend - buy a Lexus, put your nationality on it via a custom plate. Might be hard if you're from a country with a massive name like Turkmenistan or the Philippines though :P

    speeding lols

    hahaha old people??? 370Z??? Why??? Do they think they will be more respected on the road or something? Even though they have every right to buy any car they want, some things just never look right. Like old people in young people's cars. It would be like a P-plated 1924 Dodge Tourer being...

    What do you guys think?

    They probably are, this could be out of date a bit... I always picture the Elise and Exige as racing/track cars, but if they aren't as powerful as they seem then they would be ok. I don't know what sort of power they have, having never driven one either but I just always assumed they were rather...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    Oh really? I was under the impression that they didn't have very impressive engines, being nothing more than a Mazda sedan and wagon (though I think they call it a hatch?) with aggressive styling. I still can't get past the fact that these cars are marketed as family cars with the looks that...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    Yes that'd be them - and I'm mainly referring to the wagons - it was an SP25 wagon in the rear view mirror and it looked like if I stopped, it would just keep coming and swallow my car, but the front of the sedan SP25 is just as bad... I suppose you mustn't suffer from stone-chips so much on the...

    What do you guys think?

    I totally agree with this statement - a lot of safe and sensible European family sedans and wagons have been banned simply because they have a turbo or supercharger in them but their turbos and superchargers don't make them extremely powerful, yet a red P-plater can still get behind the wheel of...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    The previous shape was much nicer imho, and the previous tail lights were cool and didn't need changing... True - a vigorous-looking car needs a vigorous engine underneath, otherwise it just makes the driver look a bit "wannabe" and "the looks make up for (and try to hide) the fact this car has...

    What do you guys think?

    All this is true now I read it - I really have to floor the car to get around the dawdlers travelling between 70 and 80km/hr, but this doesn't happen all that often and most of the time I just slow down and follow them patiently (if I have the time that is...). Same with fools who try to cut you...

    What do you guys think?

    I'm sure your GTi will be much more powerful - I'm assuming it has a 2.0L engine? Mine is only a little 1.6 and is around 200kg heavier than yours, and I'm sure you would be able to feel the difference. It feels much more rigid with the roof up but I'm sure it's nothing like the hatch, and so...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    They were out of my price range a little bit, and yes, they would definitely be more practical than my car, with a joke of a back seat (they're fine if the front seats are positioned as far forward as they will go - luckily I'm short enough to drive like that :D ). I used to not like the front...

    What do you guys think?

    I'm restricted from driving anything with any real power in it by the P-plate laws, but I'm doing fine with my mid/underpowered car ;) The most powerful car I've ever driven is the Mercedes = more power than my car and having power is alright, but I do a lot more driving at a constant speed of...

    What do you guys think?

    I drive a convertible with a retractable hardtop and I love it. It doesn't matter to me that it's a FWD or that it's base was a hatchback - I don't spend time worrying about that. I just spend time enjoying driving it, because it's great to drive, and not because of how fast it is, or the fact...

    General Thoughts: Mathematics

    IS THIS HOW YOU DO IT??? This is how I did it and no idea if it is right (this is from memory, the question is down in the car and I'm too lazy to go down there and get it :P ) I originally thought there wasn't enough info too, but because you are never given an amount, I just let Q=Q. The...

    What car will you get as your first car?

    What kind of Civic do you have? I automatically think of the Type R - those triangular exhausts are cool! The older coupe's are really good I hear and I know someone who drives the new sedan - says it's great! "nothing else will feel as finished"

    What car will you get as your first car?

    My sister wants an Audi TT but she can only get an automatic licence and the ones within our price range are manual - like this one (it's actually exactly the same price as mine was) 1999 AUDI TT Cars For Sale in NSW - CarPoint Australia The car is pretty good - I've heard all the horror...

    Questions for Module A and C???

    No, I wasn't absent - I was very much there, suffering though the Module B question :)

    What car will you get as your first car?

    Yeah when I found out that Lotus did their suspension, I was like, "Seriously?" but the car was pretty cool. According to the seller it had 4-wheel steering. I don't know whether that was true but it would be cool if it did, like the Prelude. They're different which makes them interesting. Also...
