[beany_bot]

Have you not passed your test yet!?

 

[Vimto Rolf]

Have you not passed your test yet!?

sadly not.

i failed my test on bonfire night with one serious for inadequate clearance after a bloke came round a 30mph blind bend at 50mph.

the next available slot was 19th jan 2009 so thats when i have my test. according to my instructor i should breeze this one. but ill take my chances and see how it goes.

Ah well good luck.

I was just reading your post about the "thoughts" you sometimes have. I think the best advice is what Jug said. and its true, one of my mates at uni was EXACTLY like you, and i mean EXACTLY, looked the same, dressed the same, like the same stuff. So your not "alone", as to the guy that said drop some acid. i wouldnt do that, esspecially not with your brain. Acid could work, but more than likely not, its only for the very very grounded and completely happy individuals. I wouldnt do any drugs if i was you. and lay off the drink too. Oh and back to my mate at uni, he is married now with a good job and all the trimmings. My only advice is cut your hair, listen to some pop music and get out clubbing. Its light hearted stuff you need.

thanks

anyhow best stay on topic. dont want another thread deleted or closed

So the vimto car has begun lol

Your plans so far look quite good but get rid of the punto sign over the rear brake light, it looks chav. The car otherwise looks good.

Good luck with all your future mods, oh and your driving test in the new year Carl

 

[Vimto Rolf]

Thanks payney

I'm going to re do the brakelight cover in the new year and if I don't like it, it's coming off.

Is anyone able to tell me what kind of bulb it takes? As I may look into installing some superbright LEDs.

thanks for the link but not of them seem to know either ill post a thread in the gp section i think and see if anyone knows

 

[Vimto Rolf]

a little idea ive had.

i saw a thread about putting neons behind the front grill.

im thinking of doing the same and with undercar neons (linked to a switch for non road use) and to replace my dim led footwell lights with neons all in purple.

but as a slight twist (perhaps someone could tell me if this is likely to work) in case them in some clear perspex or acylic piping or similar as to give the neons themselves some extra protection.

do you think this could be done? and if so would it work?

 

[samjac68]

neons are so shockingly chav and ghey please dont do it... they were chav 5 years ago when they were in fashion so to speak...

and your modding your moms car? or is she giving it to you when you pass or what?!?!?!

drop it on some nice rimmage and leave it at that otherwise your just gonna ruin a good car

I'm not a chav sobif doesn't bother me.

It's my gp but it's in my ma's name and will be signed over to me when I pass.

I will be getting some 16/17" (still need to find out the weight per wheel) OZ Michelangelo 8's

[punto_matt]

Tis irrelivant if you are or arent a chav putting neons on will make you a chav.

About the windows. They all come with a 25% greeney tint on them which means legally you cant tint them. If you do well it depends on what the coppers are like and how big your balls are as to how dark you go with the front tints.

 

[Jamie]

neons in your grille will look sh!t, end of.

especially if they are purple!!!!

 

[JFL]

why not get some knightrider type front red lights on the front... ooo and a watch you can talk into

and your hairs long enough to get a perm like the hoff :devil:

 

[Vimto Rolf]

First sorry about the repeat posts.

On the neon front we'll see I can't afford them at the moment anyway

 

[Aircooledbug]

Right, Carl.... You want a purple and black car... cross between a hurse, KITT from knight rider and a Corsa.... this car isnt going to go down well. No wait a minute, you might aswell replace your aerial with a large pole with a wire on the end to look like a dodgem car. Ah well.
