We got problems with the high level pollution in our town on certain days and we think they will ban Diesel engined cars then from the streets - that is why we will go for a petrol engine - btw he does not want a RRS in orange and opted for a boring Mercedes A 200 - he said that the Merc is cooler than a RRS Shocked Shocked - i start thinking that he is not my son !

I don't think I would have said no to that as a first car!

The new A class is great, my Mum has an A45 AMG which is a great little car to drive.

good luck to him, and hope he is sensible and safe! Alex

It's his way of rebelling. You like big petrol Range Rovers, he likes small diesel Mercedes.

You need to start dressing as a woman and calling yourself Francine just to make sure he does the oposite.

How on earth have we allowed ourselves to get into this situation of buying our kids first cars? Nobody else bought me my first car, let the little so and so's go out to work to earn the money to buy the damn car. That's what I say!! Says the idiot who bought the same car twice, the second time off of No.2 daughter to give to No.3! Drat, rumbled. Drives:

Ha ha exactly! I was given my first car and had to pay for everything else myself.
Albeit it was a mighty 1.4 auto Renault 5 but it was cracking! Did my first headgaskt on it, prepped services, timing...

Back when fuel was 70p/l it was fun caning it around watching the fuel gauge move Smile

However. Ow I wouldn't dream of my kids driving anything below the size of a C3/4 and would have to be a petrol or electric. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
