aiii public transport sux

Deal with it. Curb your driving technique and maybe you can hold onto it for longer next time round..

I am clearly not winging about my loss of license buddy. I asked for some advice on whether i should keep my car, and if so how to keep it mechanically maintained. Save the jibberish for your councilist! :argue:

Anyways, like you haven't speed before. :bs!:

Interesting the age of the posters in this thread.

Gtst89: i know you're not whinging, and i know you're copping it on the chin (no pun intended) but i mean seriously, i actually don't know your age but i am completely surprised by the amount of young ppl who had posted and all seem to have suspensions! I've been driving for 5 years, 3 on L's (you can still be an idiot on your L's) and 2 on P's. No crashes and no speeding fines, and it's very hard to find insurance. Maybe you're out of this particular age bracket, but look at the age of ppl posting above. Dudes, save it for the track, and take it off the streets, it really can't be that hard?

Sorry to hear about the loss of the license, and i know you accept it.

keep the car.

cheers

Any experience in this situation or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You said any experience or help, Its pretty obvious you need to start your car from time to time and get someone to take it for a brief drive for you.

But the best thing to do would not to loose your licence in the 1st place thats all. I know you werent winging about it, I was just stating thats all, hope that clarifys for you.. :headspin:

Cheers for the comments mate. Yeah i agree, but i can't speak for the others on here. Just myself. I encourage everyone to use the racetrack as opposed to the roads, but sometimes you just get unlucky and over excited (like when you get a new mod, you don't wait until you get to the race track to test it out). Im 21, and have had my fair share of fines and loss of demerits, but i deal with it as i bought it on myself. Some people have to learn the hard way - im learning very quickly now. Regretful in my actions i am, but screw winging - what's happened has happened.

Im keeping her. :-)

Yeah that's fine. Cheers for the advice. I do understand loosing my license in the first place would have been ideal, but in my present situation - that is not an option for me. Thanks for the feedback champ. :rofl:

gtst89 i understand your pain im going into court to contest a charge....i got done on the 23rd Jan 2004 driving down victoria road. The fine was for exceeding 45km/h in a 60 zone and also i had no green p plates on, to make matters worse i got done during double demerit weekend. It was a monster amount of points i think im looking at 9-12 months off the road as well.

Anyone that has lost it before, you think it pays to keep driving but to stay off the main roads?? and not during double de-merits....and maybe mum drive the line and ill drive her saab haha.

Exactly!! come guys, help give us a youngins a better name than what we've already got.

I was quoted $2500 full comp for a friggen 1991, Nissan Pulsar hatchback!!! :)

Slow it down!!

Dude I wouldnt worry so much, trust me, things change, when I lost my licence, everyone with Skyline's were champions, top people, and I lost my licence for 9 mths, as soon as I got back into it, the sheer atmoshpere had changed, and there were Skylines everywhere, and everyone who seemed to have bought em were wankers, and I'll be honest, some people who did buy em are even in these forums!!!!

this is so true.

all to do with the price of skylines dropping so young fags can now afford them.

SS8 i await the period till you lose your licence for a bullshit offence... Cos thats what happend to me... The reason why all these young drivers on the streets have suspensions for is because of the 5 point rule and the obvious discrimination by police to find things against imported and modified cars! I have lost my licence because of an offence i commited last year (holding a mobile not talking on it) and this 3 points was counted towards the new law brought out this year.. Interesting how vicroads can enforce retrospective laws... I drive responsibly and i am sitting at home without a licence right now, the last day i drove my car i got pulled over 2 times in 4 mins for no reason...if the cops want to get you, they get you case closed.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
