Nothing amazing of course, but I'm glad I can finally say that I've got my own car. Still need to pass my practical though.

Volia!

Ford Mondeo 2.0 LX (1998 I think). It's my Dad's old car, so it cost me nothing. Insurance and Petrol is going to sting me the most but there's feck all I can do. I swore to myself that I'd never cycle or get the bus again, I've been doing that for too long. It's got about 110,000 miles on the clock but my Dad has assured me on a regular basis that it's all up to speed and was serviced not too long ago.

Just need to get myself a few bits and bobs, such as a decent sound system. I'm happy though. I've paid nothing for it and it's a decent size. If worst comes to worst I'll purchase a Car in March anyway but I have THE FAITH!

Good times. :rockon:
