What? No fan fare?

I've been lurking on the boards for a while, stealing your wise words without registering

But i decided its time to throw myself in because you all seem like a nice bunch of lads (and ladies!). Im 18, im from manchester and at the moment thanks to my financial status im dubless... But i hope to have a nice shiny new car in febuary when i finally pass my test!

Right now im learning to drive in the new polo... and i have to say im quite impressed by it even when ive f**ked up its not stalled on me!. Only once..! So watch this space.. I'll be going for a mk2 or mk3 golf (obviously not GTi, i intend to drive it and not just look at it on the driveway! and i dont think driving without insurance is a good idea.. nor is robbing a bank to pay for the insurance!). So it may seem a bit early to be looking around at these kind of sites but im planning on doing a bit of modding (Nice modding though, not just bolting half of halfords onto the back of it

) once i do get the car.. so i think i should start collating knowledge! Im not a mechanically minded person (much to my dads dismay, he's been in the autotrade for 40odd years so ill be sponging cheap parts and knowledge off him too.)
Eee this has turned into a bit of an essay eh? well hello anyway!

i hope you all are well and managed to read to the end of this thread without falling asleep.. I think i can dig a photo of myself out of somewhere if you'd like to put a face to an (obscure) name.
