Hi guys, nice rides there, Wow ♛ZeNzI23 cool cars man! Here's my ride: Rover coupe 218 VVC 1998. This is my 2nd coupe, the 1st one was silver & same car i took out to Keevil track day. Gr8 car on budget, £750 it cost, quoted @ 145bhp from new. Drives V.well, balanced & stable. The Coup has twin tilt/removable glass roof panels, which is kewl in summer! There was even a race series with the turbo version of this car yrs ago! Hoping to take this one on a track day soon, wen i get my lowered/stiffer setup fitted. PS..Ref: Broughy;s last endo race in rain. video clip from Keevil track day in very wet conditions, thought it was gonna suck. But, it was Sooo fun & exhilerating if u ever get the chance..try it (Not recommended on public roads tho! lol) www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUfDQViahU8

I won't be home to take any pictures of my car until Thanksgiving, but this is pretty much exactly what I drive. 2004 Honda Accord Coupe. Nothing flashy, but this baby has gotten some serious use, and some relatively impressive speed

Hey Spartan2291, my Rover coupe is (as Smitveedub rightly says) its 'front wheel drive'. But it still a nice drive Although @ time of this, i had to nurse the 'ol gal home with a seriously leaking water-pump! Argh! Soon to be sorted Monday i hope! (along with new rad,timing belts etc). Still it is nearly a 17 yr old car!!

Still it is nearly a 17 yr old car!! It looks great man. Late 90s to roughly 2005 is where I think most cars looked their best. I really like early 2000s euro cars. I've been debating trading my car in and getting an e46 M3. The only thing stopping me is the rear subframe issue on that car and the other maintenance associated with M.

Fairly sporty especially with the V6 and you can basically pour sand into the gas tank and it will run forever.

Question, when in Belgium you do your exam to get your driving license. If you do the exam with a manual car then you're allowed to drive also an automatic, but when you do your exam with an automatic car you're not allowed to drive manual cars with that license. So my question is, is it the same in America since (I think) the majority of cars is automatic?

To answer your question â™›ZeNzI23, here in America you can take your driver's exam in either an automatic or standard and you'll get the same Class C license.

To answer your question â™›ZeNzI23, here in America you can take your driver's exam in either an automatic or standard and you'll get the same Class C license. +1. I'm not sure about all states, but some issue a provisional license if you're under a certain age as well. Says you can't drive so many people around in your car, can't drive on freeways, can't drive after a certain time...

Not sure about other states, but Illinois drivers cannot drive more than one additional person under 18 in their car until they turn 18 themselves and generally can't drive after 11 pm IIRC. Asinine rules that actually promoted drunk driving instead of having one DD.

spartan2291, yeah you're right. Totally forgot about that! I got my permit right at 16 and my driver's license at 16.5. You have to have a permit for a minimum of 6 months here in Pennsylvania, if I remember correctly. Was quite a few years ago. And on the license itself it says UNDER 18 UNTIL (INSERT DATE).

Currently studying at St. Joseph's in your great state. Back in the Garden State, we can get our permits at 16, but to get your license you need to be 17 AND have your permit for at least 6 months. Plus, the license test in NJ is ridiculously easy. It's done basically in a parking lot without traffic or anything.
