Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Um yeah the 1st paragraph wasnt really needed... as the examples (and sarcasm) are just plain stupid and rediculous but yes, if he got a large loan out it wouldve been IDEAL if he got the insurance, but he was very VERY unlucky. damn BMW... if it didnt cry-foul.

I wouldnt call it "Taking the Plunge and singning their Life away", it's simply put as an act of stupidity. Sure he's young and you learn, but financilly if you arn't taught young you'll never be ahead. Even if he didnt drive it that often so he thought "why get insurance", got to remember that SH*T WILL HAPPEN, and in this case his car got knocked offand thrashed, sure he got it back but at what cost?

yeah we dont have green Ps in VIC yet. only the new Ls (minimum 12 months, recorded 120 hours etc) and power restriction (no turbo, supercharged, v8s, high powered v6 etc) laws have come in since july 1st. anyone who gets their Ps AFTER JULY 2008 is stuck on the green Ps. minimum of 4 years on p plates...start on P1 and you only upgrade to P2 after a year if you have a good driving record. but its a good thing. hopefully it makes a difference. i still laugh at the 16/17 year olds buying turbos, v8s etc even though they couldnt get their licence before july 1st this year....coz they wont be allowed to drive it legally and probably be forced to sell the car...either that or get pulled over for speeding, then get done for driving high powered car...bye bye licence. i know a guy, recently turned 17...got himself a vx ss...all his mates go on about how "sick" it is...but well see what happens to it when he gets his licence. LOL

Perhaps the stuffed clutch was a blessing in disguise.

Yeah I believe the clutch did save it, all fixed now, car is going hard and is fully insured. As for the people who said it was stupid buying this car, you know nothing about my financial situation so how could you know whether I can or cannot afford it. You have no idea how much I am making. Ive lost my licence for a couple months so the car will be off the road for a while. Ill still be racing wednesdays....so cyas out there
