Seriously - the lads been punting around in a car that'll do 120 and is plenty fast enough to injure himself for a year. In that year he may well have clocked up a good few thousand miles too.

Before I passed my test I'd been upside down in my dads Nissan sunny whilst on L-Plates and in a Honda civic. "There but for the grace of God go I".

He's for sure a car lover and if he gets one - it'll be one of the most cherished 180 on this site.

Plenty of guys on here have had accidents and IIRC, not because it's been their fault - yourself included.

Good on you I say - just go steady - and respect the car and what it can do. To hear the V6 - Quiet straight road - at 40, give it a rev and drop it into second. Don't boot it, just accelerate gradually and listen ....... Ah - that's better. 50/55 up into 3rd to 60 then 4th to relax - nice and calm. No faster or more dangerous than doing it in a 1.4 Pug 205.
