Young Driver saved from Citroen Saxo's !

Post by mattyb »

Here's a pic of one happy sixteen year old (my son James) at the wheel of his 1971 Moggy !
his brothers sat in the back busy on facebook...... (parents with teenagers will understand !)

great car ! - many thanks to "irmsher" for selling the car and all his help

Jame's had a quote from Footman James whilst at the Classic Car show Shepton Mallet and will be joining the owners club very soon.

he is planning a few mods ( a "banging stereo" and for some reason a roof rack ???) none of which should hopefully detract from the minors good looks .....

all he has to do now is pass his test !

cheers

If he isn't already there, you could point James in the direction of the Young Members facebook group.

Avoid the roof rack - it will cost him 2 MPG...... and Minors aren't that good on MPG at the best of times......

Hi Matt - I've just done the same for my 16 year old, Jack - yours looks clean and ready to go (ours still needs some work). Just out of interest, what was the insurance quote?

Where are you based?

Don't be tempted to put a roofrack on your nice new car!

I'm paying the price of a previous owner doing this. All the guttering has had to be replaced on my Traveller as the mounts for the rack had distorted the guttering and rusted it through :(
