London's Finest Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hey guys! Im new on here but this forum looks like a friendly place. So today, I bought my first car (im gonna practice driving in it until im ready for my test).I am the proud owner of a 2001 mk5 fiesta, I love it already. Its got everything I wanted;a good stereo, alloys, ac, power steering, rev counter. its got a couple of rough edges, bits of damage and the boot release wont work, but I guess you guys can help me when I get stuck fixing it! Anyway, let me know what you think! :) Peace LF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassen Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Congrats on the new car. I really wish I had bought a Ford instead of the money pit that was my old Renault Megane as my first car. Good luck with the practising :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdazx Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hi and welcome if you are goin to get it insured with a black box on it dont do any mods to the car as it has to be a basic model unless factory fitted apart from that when you touched a few bits up it will be ya pasdion wagon lol 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London's Finest Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Haha cheers daz, I'll keep her as stock as possible. For now ;). I hate black boxes but being 18, I doubt I'd be able to afford the insurance without one! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
