These cars are cars that were the so called "Young Lads Ricer Cars". And it was normally seen driving around with someone who was quite young and people generally loved it.
Got a 02 Clio 11 months ago as my 1st car. Was a shitbox for £400. The windows didnt work, bearings were shot and drivers door was covered in duct tape. 11 months on and the windows work, paintwork restored, interior mood lighting installed, USB ports front and rear, built in wifi, OZ Racing alloys, tinted windows and all shocks, springs, bearings replaced with 10mm Spacers added. Really fun car lol
I've just bought a Corsa VXR, light mods (intake, springs, dewipered/debadged, bonnet vents) but decent and planning some others (Scorpion Cat Back exhaust, Rabbid Tuning (Stage 2) and Intercooler upgrade). All declared for insurance purposes which is the most important thing, last thing you want or need is an invalid insurance policy. I passed my test much later than you but have had some decent motors in that time. However, I sympathise with you over the bad decisions you made but we all make them.....as long as we learn from them. My second car was a Corsa SRi, I threw grands of cash at it and it was stunning but ended up a shitshow. My 'new' car (62 plate) is a great, exciting, little motor and more than adequate for my needs and has restored my faith in Vauxhalls at least for now. And yes, I watched the whole video.
I found your channel by accident and can definitely relate to this... I’ve been through 6 cars in the past 5 years and have kept the current one for over 18months... so can relate to you... saw the vid with the cheapest cars to insure but can’t make my mind up... all the best with the channel and hopefully you’ll be up to 500k and then a million subs in time!
I was about to say... no way in hell could you buy and own an ae86 in the uk... those things cost minimum 8k to buy and then the fact they are imports and rwd their insurance is stupid... just no lmao.
Nice vid m9, focus st are good, my first car was a pug 306 Hdi which I still have modified, last year I bought a focus st always puts a smile on my face when I drive that lol
Love this! You’ve captured the emotions we’ve all had when it comes to cars. I used to have an Astra and that was a damn disaster too...but I loved it! Hope karma catches that guy that sold you it. Love the channel mate! Keep going!
wow man you have come a long long way from when i started watching you since this video. Not watched you for a good year and geeze youve grown like crazy. Some great Vids. Your Fiesta ST is what got me into your videos, like my own channel, which would be geeat to hear your thougths on it and where it is going. Maybe one day when my Project ST car is at a stage i am happy with we could do a collab, test drive. Andy
I must admit I've had my 2005 fiesta st for over four years now and it is totally standard! I get a lot of comments how nice it looks in white and not been messed around with! Saying that I may do a couple of sensible engine mods like filter and exhaust 👍
Hey I only started watching you recently and scince then all I'm looking at is Ford fiesta's and they don't look that bad .you should do like a day in the life of being a boyracer type lad I'd say you would get a good few likes
Mate, I wasn't a fan of 4/5 door cars either, I've recently purchased an ST220 (The hatchback) though and it's changed my whole opinion. So practical and it's still an absolute 3L beaST. I'm not even sure I need a 'toy' car now as it's fun as hell to drive anyway. I was looking into Subaru's beforehand but the insurance on them is mad, I was getting upwards of 1500 quid but with the 220 it was only 500. Appreciating classic I reckon too ;)
mate still do that now lol and I'm 46 don't worry its more fun to play with them than anything else I get them right then the boredom sets in and its on to the next just to make you feel better my first car was a yellow mini metro 1ltr w reg had Volvo t5 and various others but you will always look back at your first and say what a great car even if it wasn't
My cars in order from THEN to NOW: 02 Celica 140, Ford Escort Van, Rover 200, Ford Fiesta Zetec, BMW 3 series convertible, Audi A4, Renault Clio 1.6 now 03 Astra 1.6 SXi - all cars cost less than 500...I fixed them up and sold for profit..all cars except my celica which served me well for 2 years, let it die with 190,000 miles on the clock.. had rod nock, could have fixed but just couldn't be arsed.
First car level for me and best mate mods was neon lights inside, K&N Air filter, exhaust and stickers lots and lots of stickers 😂 now yrs down the line it's grown into body kits, coilovers, straight pipe exhaust, cold air intakes, rims etc but we always keep the stickers and Neons inside 😂
Hello Lee :) Can i just tell you that probably you were unlucky picking the astra, because i never had that much problems. my ride is astra h gtc z19dth and it is fine atm :) Keep it up with good videos!
Stephen Tyrer I'm guessing the bumper was cheaply replaced! I didn't even notice when I bought the car to be honest, because of the black on black it wasn't that noticeable
Hi mate, not sure if you have mentioned in any other videos but what sort of mpg were you getting in your st....or miles in a tank? Considering buying one, many thanks
st are really well made, I had one for 3 years and never let me down. ford are well made especially the mk6, never changed a sensor or fuse gearbox is bulletproof, fun to drive. fair power. could go on. regret selling it tbh, just to add they look mint on escort Cosworth alloys 16" have a look on Google, that's what I had on mine lol
I started with a 2000reg 1.4 petrol clio, mk5 golf 1.9 tdi exploded and now on my beloved pride and joy mk5 golf GTI. Don't think il ever swap her, should look into them mate 😈!
MG ZRs are top mate. Have one, 1.8VVC it was a 1.4 when i got it, got insured at 18 for £1300 with a black box tho. Everyone says they are proper expensive to insure but i don't have much issue with mine. Thinking about declaring the mods next year tho..
is it really?? Where abouts are you from bud? You mentioned manchester so i thought you might possibly know about the stockport car cruise meets there?
im not sure what's happing pal but they used to be huge a couple months ago. Been going for years police are just being arses now.. What meets do you go to then??
Loved the stories about your first couple of cars and when you were learning everything for the very first time. I always assumed stickerbombs were done the way you did it... Don't tell me people pay for like a stickerbomb wrap? Would explain why they often look rather similar but that's lame af.
Mate I can't wait to start my lessons . I should've started about 2 weeks ago but my dad wasted too much time and the instructor was a dick head so I got a different one . Starting next week Friday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I've been waiting for about 11 months, I just keep watching car vids because I love them . I'm enjoying your channel and who knows I may be a petrol head like you haha
Im exactly like you mate! I couldnt WAIT to pass my test, it was all i thought about, and cars are still ALL i think about! I still watch videos on youtubes all about cars because its literally all im interested in haha :) thanks mate and i hope you pass soon!
So interesting, first year of driving I have been through 3 cars... first car was brilliant a fiat Punto but the steering failed on me then I bought a VW Jetta 1.9tdi pd110, they were meant to be really reliable but it cost me 1.8K in mechanical problems... starter motor, crank case position sensor new injectors etc etc so I bought a lancer and it’s just died on me funnily enough starter motor and fuel leaks car only cost £700. My question is what is next? My mate has a C30 and it’s been great to him but what could possibly be next?
holy crap that's a lot of cars 😂 just out of curiosity, you declare the mods on it? need to do so much more to mine but the money they want from it is mad if I mod it
Bro i just got a mini r53 the supercharged ones thats from 2000 2008 mine is 2003 there so fun and inside is really cool grips well low down fucking fast so many mods you can do there honestly amazing little cars!
My first illegal was Ford fiesta XR2, THEN I HAD MY BABY Astra GTE, THEN GOT BANNED! AFTER BAN GOT SAXO VTS,MGZR 160,HONDA PRELUDE,TYPE R EP3, ASTRA GSI
I passed my test in January 2019, first car was a crappy Corsa C, then switched for a 2009 fiesta tdci 1.6, and then now I have Corsa E VXR all in the space of a year loo
Thanks for showing us your rice collection

That's mostly what it was back in the day being a ricer was cool
These cars are cars that were the so called "Young Lads Ricer Cars". And it was normally seen driving around with someone who was quite young and people generally loved it.
bimmerlover98 f
bimmerlover98 yeah

Bradley Collins I want to drive but I’m only 13

Swapping a fiesta zetec for an astra nooooooo!

Owning a fiesta 🤮 now that’s bad
Tommy Cars&Games 97 fuck off

One of the the best (if not the best) car videos I've ever seen. Nice job dude.
Toby Bryan hahah thank you!

Andrew Smart and?
Never heard the word chavvy with cars😂

And yes, I watched the whole video.
£240 for a rocker cover gasket ahhaha
lmao i know. £20 for one on my car 1 hour ish job to piss it
I found your channel by accident and can definitely relate to this...

my car list goes 2001 ford fiesta zetec s blew that up a year go now and now driving a 1985 ae86 ive been driving for nearly 3 years now
Forza doesn't count lad.
I was about to say... no way in hell could you buy and own an ae86 in the uk... those things cost minimum 8k to buy and then the fact they are imports and rwd their insurance is stupid... just no lmao.
Look at his RUclips he has a CORROLA An 85 /levin
Mate you just made me spend a good sweet 30 minutes . Enjoyed thoroughly 👊🏼👌
thank you mate! Start doing 2 hour lessons by the way, youl pass quicker ;)
Okay Lee Lockwood
I’m surprised u didt get a Honda Civic 😂
This was definitely the best time for this. Channel when I never missed a video
Nice vid m9, focus st are good, my first car was a pug 306 Hdi which I still have modified, last year I bought a focus st always puts a smile on my face when I drive that lol
I always see youtubers criticising ricers but i've never seen an actual ricer channel. Gotta admit, Decent change of scenery
That story about the Astra swap set my anxiety to the roof. I would have been livid mate.
Good watch though dude 👌🏻
lol what is your insurance like then yearly? seeming if you have barely owned cars for over a year, what about your no claims bonuses?
No claims is transferable, so unless you have a claim.. you can change cars 20 times a year and build up your no claims.
Love this! You’ve captured the emotions we’ve all had when it comes to cars. I used to have an Astra and that was a damn disaster too...but I loved it! Hope karma catches that guy that sold you it. Love the channel mate! Keep going!
Just stumbled across this video randomly, find things like this proper interesting, good work mate!
wow man you have come a long long way from when i started watching you since this video. Not watched you for a good year and geeze youve grown like crazy. Some great Vids.

Mate, I wasn't a fan of 4/5 door cars either, I've recently purchased an ST220 (The hatchback) though and it's changed my whole opinion. So practical and it's still an absolute 3L beaST. I'm not even sure I need a 'toy' car now as it's fun as hell to drive anyway. I was looking into Subaru's beforehand but the insurance on them is mad, I was getting upwards of 1500 quid but with the 220 it was only 500. Appreciating classic I reckon too ;)
Proper enthusiastic
Fair enough
Just seen the channel it's ace ☺
Clios are ace
Third time I've watched this. Still as enticing as the first.
Loved those astras!!
This was so entertaining to watch and I don't know why

Think I've watched this video all the way through about 4 times now 😂
First car level for me and best mate mods was neon lights inside, K&N Air filter, exhaust and stickers lots and lots of stickers 😂 now yrs down the line it's grown into body kits, coilovers, straight pipe exhaust, cold air intakes, rims etc but we always keep the stickers and Neons inside 😂

Why did your Zetec-S have the standard Zetec front end?
Stephen Tyrer I'm guessing the bumper was cheaply replaced! I didn't even notice when I bought the car to be honest, because of the black on black it wasn't that noticeable
I thought so, I see it all the time, I've even seen facelift Fiestas with pre facelift front ends many times.
most of your car were owned less than a year. how about the insurance and tax? do you still pay its annual fees?
Hi mate, not sure if you have mentioned in any other videos but what sort of mpg were you getting in your st....or miles in a tank? Considering buying one, many thanks
S14. 100% my dad bought one, best thing I've ever ridden in, n he's had a lot of cars.
st are really well made, I had one for 3 years and never let me down. ford are well made especially the mk6, never changed a sensor or fuse gearbox is bulletproof, fun to drive. fair power. could go on. regret selling it tbh, just to add they look mint on escort Cosworth alloys 16" have a look on Google, that's what I had on mine lol
Virulent yeah one of lads in our group bums off the cossie wheels hahah
I started with a 2000reg 1.4 petrol clio, mk5 golf 1.9 tdi exploded and now on my beloved pride and joy mk5 golf GTI. Don't think il ever swap her, should look into them mate 😈!

MG ZRs are top mate. Have one, 1.8VVC it was a 1.4 when i got it, got insured at 18 for £1300 with a black box tho. Everyone says they are proper expensive to insure but i don't have much issue with mine. Thinking about declaring the mods next year tho..
James Daniel Juste yeah mate if you ring about I got it soooo much cheaper with mods declared

James Daniel Juste yeah I've heard of them! Aren't they being shut down?
James Daniel Juste I'm from Warrington mate

How did you learn fixing cars, any good diploma?
Oh man this hits to close to home. First car was a 1996 Dodge Avenger. Lol
Loved the stories about your first couple of cars and when you were learning everything for the very first time.
I always assumed stickerbombs were done the way you did it... Don't tell me people pay for like a stickerbomb wrap? Would explain why they often look rather similar but that's lame af.
Haunter yeah wrap is the usual way😂

Rocker cover gasket for a 2004 1.2 Punto Active Sport is like €15...??
At that point
It's funny I like my non turbo subaru. So much so that I have had it for 5 years. I also own impreza Spec C.
So interesting, first year of driving I have been through 3 cars... first car was brilliant a fiat Punto but the steering failed on me then I bought a VW Jetta 1.9tdi pd110, they were meant to be really reliable but it cost me 1.8K in mechanical problems... starter motor, crank case position sensor new injectors etc etc so I bought a lancer and it’s just died on me funnily enough starter motor and fuel leaks car only cost £700. My question is what is next? My mate has a C30 and it’s been great to him but what could possibly be next?
shame about the Astra, sexy as hell. I'm sure the ST is a monster though. got a 1.4 corsa SRi, so for a first car its pretty fast.
