Hey faggots tell me what car to buy on a learner permit. Ireland btw

I know little about cars but have recently become very interested in learning. I want a cheap, dime-a-dozen shitbox to git gud at wrenching with and gain a better understanding of how everything works in there.
Assuming this isn't a completely retarded idea where I'm going the completely wrong way about learning, what cars common to bongistan would fill this role?

MX-5 Is Always The Answer

congrats lads, you're nicked

The rozzers can't catch me

Brit/o/ is supposed to be about knowing you could buy three supercars used for the price of a year's insurance on your Micra.

That's a vauxhall victor m8

If you're an underaged faggot maybe

Wouldn't know bro, sorry

I'm 25 and insurance on my auto diesel is over 2 gs

Have you only just started driving? I can get insured on a rs6 for £800 and i'm 22

Been driving five years or thereabouts. Auto diesel v6, 2300 pound or something, with 6 points and three accidents

Considering I'm a fucking idiot and installed a turbocharger and associated plumbing/wiring, suspension components, radiator/fan upgrade, etc., I think a MX-5 will do fine.

>6 points and three accidents
well there you go then

>not getting points in this police state
Share your secrets. The accidents, though, only one was my fault.

Only speed when you know its safe to do so.

I got out of getting three points for my broken mirror the other day by sweet talking the policeman though, he said I had to cut the monkey hanging off the tow hook off or get three points. I chose the monkey of course.

Paddy here.

If you can stand the look I'd go with a 1L Yaris. It's the most powerful of the most common 1L lot (polo, micra, corsa). It's probably the best built too, in the 4 years and 50k miles I drove it all I ever did was change the filters, oil and 2 tyres.

>in a brit thread
>doesn't know brit cars

Step it up senpai

Its because you're speedy speed boy, mateyo, when I first got my licence I sped everywhere. One day a policeman gave me a stern talking to for doing double the limit, he was traffic police too so I figured I was fucked... For some reason he let me go.

Ever since that day I won't speed unless I absolutely know the road and know the current traffic situation. I like driving too much to throw it away for a five second blast, I most enjoy the corners anyway but that's probably because my car is mega slow.

Don't get me wrong, I still drive spiritedly. I just don't go mad constantly anymore, shit, its all down to chance anyway I guess.

It's all well and good to say when your car takes a good time at full WOT to break the law but it becomes a lot harder when driving your car at 100% will put you in license loss territory in a few moments.

You wouldn't be able to identify a pre-unit 350 and I don't give you shit for it

This is correct, when I got my 6 points I was driving a 300hp V8. I got it to 155 that night as I figured I'd already lost my licence. I have never got a speeding ticket in a 4 cylinder either lol

he's right desu and I usually don't agree with tripfags.

There really is a time and place.

Have I done 155mph on a motorway at 3 in the morning? ayyy

Would I do it at 9AM on the way to work? Jesus Christ No.

It doesn't matter how fast your car is, you can drive right? If you can't control the application of power (or you get tempted by it) then you're a shit driver and deserve the points, end of.

No one does 155mph at 9am at work

For a start it generally isn't possible, it's a reduction to the absurd.

If I want to 'have fun' like I would in my econobox and I put my foot down, I'm doing 100 pretty easily.

I tend to keep it below 80 on country roads just for safeties sake but there's a reason people like the 86, lotus etc. When you have a car with bucketloads of power you basically never get to have fun with it. It's far more fun to drive some 4 banger shitbox to the limit at 80 than it is to drive some monster machine at 50% of its limits at 80.

This was midnight on a Saturday and a 200 yard stretch of 30mph limit on 100ish miles of national speed limit out in the country

Don't believe for a minute you've got above 140mph to be honest pal

I'm just exaggerating it to prove a point m8.

If you're speeding during daylight hours and in areas known to have speed cameras, you're asking for it, you should know that.

If you have a fast car and want to use its power on public roads, do so at hours when it is far less dangerous to yourself and to others to do so. It's not like track days don't exist either.

Endangering yourself by driving fast isn't the problem, you can die for all anyone cares, it's what you could do to someone else that's the problem.

Admittetly I'm Irish and traffic laws here are really lax, I've never seen a single speed camera on the motorway after midnight (on a weekday), let alone a garda car, and as for the twisties? go nuts.

My best friend is like you and complains all the time about not being able to drive fast. Hardly a surprise he's had accidents and has [spoiler]death[/spoiler]

Sure I'm biased, but for a fucking good reason.

Protip: Take a passenger with you for your daily drive and drive as you normally would, someone honest preferably. You'll know from their body language alone if they feel safe with you driving. If they don't. You're shit at driving.

>Midnight on a Saturday night
Think about that lad, does that sound like a time where the police ARENT looking for speeders?

Believe what you want senpai.

I am not all of these posters, I'm the guy who got the ticket. I got done by a camera in a bush on 200 yards of 30 zone in 100+ miles of national speed limit. The camera luck will get you too, if you ever speed. I don't anymore. Are you nocar or just slowcar?

Cameras can be shitty, but if it's a route you drive often you always be prepared to find it there. At least here in Ireland they're fairly predictable.

Astra OPC (VXR), hardly what you would call slow.

I know I went on a rant but after seeing what happened my friend with that attitude I just can't stand it. I told him if you want to go fast, just do it in the wee hours like I do.

He didn't listen.

I stick to the speed limit pretty much all the time since the ticket. Obviously I didn't know the road and I was being irresponsible. I'm sorry to hear what happened to your friend, slightly different to my situation though I'd imagine

I shouldn't have brought it up, but thanks.

I'm not a granny, I usually do 10% above the speed limit even on my drive to work, but I do watch for cameras as I know where they'll be. If you don't know the road you have to ask yourself if it's really worth the risk.

But hey I don't mean to give out to you, it happens m8, they're cunts for doing it at limit changes anyway.

Yeah, such is life. I was lucky as apparently the sentencing guidelines only go up as far as double the limit, over that they have free reign to fuck you repeatedly and as hard as they like. As I'm a mechanic, I managed to blag keeping my licence and I was very happy about that. It's only now that I can't insure fuck all that I'm bitter about the points.

Bro I got chased by the 5-0 after passing them at 100 in a 30, all around residential areas, anticlockwise around islands etc. They caught me when I got blocked in by a taxi. I had no MOT, no insurance, and only my provisional license. Car got towed and it cost me 800 to get it back but I was up front and polite with the cop, just said I was testing some repairs i had made for MOT and panicked when I saw him, said my sorries and he took me back home and told me to grab a brew and calm down

350 as in sbc? Why the fuck would I I'm a Brit

I'm finding this hard to believe but I don't want to call bullshit as you probably went to some effort to get that picture.

>in a brit thread
>doesnt know brit engines
Wew

It helped that the cop was a fan of old audis (thats my s2 in front of the cop car) and we sat talking about the s2 and his old coupe while we were waiting for the recovery truck

>on a car forum
>expects anybody to be able to identify different variants of ancient motorcycle engines

Yes lad wew, not quite the same as recognising a car

>It's not like track days don't exist or anything

Speeding tickers are less expensive than track days

If you don't know this, you've never been on a proper track day.

B/o/ng track day when

When you shill out for £200-400 worth of safety gear depending on the tracks regs

£50-100 to reg on for the day [you don't get it back if you cancel]

Cash for tires, pads, oil change and service afterwards

Some won't let you on without certain insurance or licenses

Some will flat out refuse you entry if you break [very stringent] noise regulations which you can pass the first stage of then trigger on a pass by of a corner and get removed due to NIMBY neighbours.

Wat

Each time I've been it's £150-200 for the track day itself + £10 to hire a helmet + a full tank of fuel. Insurance is optional, no other safety gear required as you're not doing a race. All you need is a road-worthy car. You're not going to burn through a set of tyres or pads unless they were very worn already

If you don't burn through your tires, you're doing it wrong tbhfamalam

Karting is far more realistic.

true, but our br/o/thers over in canada or somewhere managed one or at least were planning one

>£150-200 for the track day itself

what godforsaken pothole-ridden track are you going to?

>childish defensiveness when wrong
>car forum
Weak response followed by weaker bait. No Soph CDs for you.

There's a few kart tracks in Essex. Don't be scared if you're from up North and see two bungalows seemingly stacked on top of each other, that is a multistorey building, you'll get used to it.
