Hey im Tom from Oxfordshire and im 17 and the now proud owner of a skoda

My dad has been the owner of a skoda superb I since 2005 and now he has upgraded to a passat he has given me his superb to use as my first

I understand its a big car to have and it isnt going to recieve an ideal treatment as a novice driver but i must admit its life hasnt always been rainbows and fairydust

Welcome to the forum mate,

I wouldnt worry, we all have to start somewhere, I had to start with a D reg Daihatsu Charade, 3 cylinder, 993cc. ate through two clutches and a head. Also managed a full set of tyres in a month, still managed 105mph 5 up.

You can still look cool in a big car :sun: enjoy mate, Its more about freedom at your age. lol makes me sound old

Welcome to the forum.

Dave....you are old.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum, nice first car

Hello Tom and welcome along

Takes me back that my first was a d reg 205 gti 1.9 . Little rocket that thing.

Was 1997 lol

Thanks guys

And yeah the freedom is my main interest as with it being a diesel i can go out more than my friends with their less than economical petrol cars :p

And with the looking cool part, i will try my best but the "old man" image seems to stick to the car along with the taxi reputation :L

Even worse i've had quite a few friends ask me if im gonna convert it to a VW passat! :( disgraceful..
