Try again!!!
April 1993 first time (of course)!!
Yet another broken promise from the old man saw him stop me using his car that first night I passed my test,I was fucking furious,I doubt he let me use the car more than 3 times in 3 months so I worked my ass off that summer,cafe in the day,nightclub in the night and bought myself £900's worth of 1.1 fiat UNO.
Some cunt drove into it pissed 2 days later,wrote it off but once again I listened to my idiot father who told me the £1250 I got paid for it HAD to be spent on a repair or they'd take the money back out of my account and I'd have nothing.
Knowing no-one I paid £1250 to get it repaired,2 doors,pillar and a sill,what a fucking idiot.
Never took advice from that fool ever again,the damage was minimal,I could have had the car,plus £1250 and driven it for a year til it needed an Mot,it didn't even look that bad!!!
Mind you I've wasted far more than that over the years on cars!!
Saved just enough from my first few pays to get an UNO turbo and had a great 18 months racing pretty much anything on the road,winning most as well,loved it and would have another one tommorow.
Although only for the weekend,it was hideously unreliable!!!
