IanMc Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm really sorry to hear that this sale didn't work out for you Stu. As you say though, things sometimes happen for a reason. Good luck with whatever you decide to do from here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Well, our son is 19 and has got his drivers license since this summer. He drove the "400" several times but he asked me if the GSI (under construction) also handles so difficult. (The gearbox and clutch of the "400" is not that traffic-jam friendly) but I said that car drives like a dream. So he can't wait till I finnish the GSI😁. And yes he drives me home again🍺... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 25 and 23 year old 'kids' and all of their friends absolutely love my Cavalier and actually ask to see it every time they come round! Its quite heart warming really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 It certainly is heart whelming. Just picked my lad up from his mum's. First thing he did was get out of the car and go over to the manta 😃 He's gonna clean and polish it tomorrow. He's got it all worked out. Then it's up to me to buy him a juicy steak for his tea👍. Anyway its Friday. So that means stella time🍺🍺🍺🍺. Speak to you soon. CHEERS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I think you have my Son Stu, sounds exactly like him, right down to the Filet steak (steak always 1st choice if available). Eats better then I do! If you lads choice of pudding is Choc brownie then it will blow my mind! But you are right, it is a great choice of gift mate, they do teach them properly to drive and especially on the army base at Beverley it has proper road network they use and get up to 30+ mph. And your spit on, my lad drives my GLC anytime he gets the chance. Funny enough my oldest lad at 17, has absolutely no interest in driving. My 13year old though is torn between Manta and The XJR I also have as a favourite. I believe once he gets to drive the Manta in the spring, he will be smitten 🥰 Edited November 22, 2019 by Jessopia74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do Wigan and Doncaster. I have no affiliation with them, but I am pretty impressed. Started my lad at 1 hour, but dropped him to 1/2.hrs and will space them out a bit more now he’s got a bit deeper into the learning curve. But your right it is expensive when you can get 5hrs starter if he was 17 fir the same price. thanks, and have a good weekend too 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hey STU, pic of me with my son. Was think one year back and I was so proud he drove that car with me: Grts, Herman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
