Hello All!!
02. Apr 2007 at 10:31

Hi there, thought i'd pop on and introduce myself! I'm really called Tom and from Livingston (between Edinburgh and Glasgow on the M8 if you don't know already).

Drove some crappy cars in the past 18 months since passing my driving test late on it life (i was 30, and lazy so sat the auto only test

) being a Pug 205 1.6 auto and a Ford Escort 1.6L auto. Picked myself up a nice 1995 2.0 GLS last week and am loving it soooooo much.

It's pre-loved and needs a wee bitty of TLC but nothing i'm worried about, it's just such a lovely big car Cheesy

Anyway off to nosey on around the rest of the forum

LOL Thanks Gaffers the 205 truely was a 5star crappy car but was great for me running about in for a couple of months after passing my test, especially as i passed in the october and had a winter to contend with - within 2 weeks of getting the 205 i'd had to drive in fog, snow, driving rain and also get the RAC out to it

baptism of fire and all that
