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! :lol:

Anyway, let me know what you think! :)

    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 :)
