    Very nice car!

    ...but you're in your mid-20's right? And this car is nearly 60k? I don't get it.

    Whats not to get - the guy is doing well financially and is buying a car he wants. So what if he is mid twenties or mid fourties.

    Just wondering where you got your reg plates from mark?
    From the "illegal reg plate shop" by the look of it.

    Must be doing very well then - or there are some exceptional circumstances? (lotto win / loaded parents??) :)

    Most people in their mid-20s wouldn't be able to afford to spend almost 60k on a car but fair play if you can afford to do it without over stretching.

    My missus wouldn't let me get away with something like this...! :)

    Man thats such a weird comment. Whats age got to do with it?? Earnings and age dont go hand in hand and also all you need is a half decent salary and good credit to get a loan. I guess his priorities are focused on himself and at that age thats cool. As you get older there's the mortagage, kids and so on. He is so right to do it now while he can, before buying a new car means four doors, big boot and how much can i spend before the wife cuts my nuts off!

    I didn't even ask my parents could I go to a private school when I was 13 so I don't think I'm going to ask them to start buying my cars for me now in my mid 20s. :confused:

    And if you're under the thumb JD - that's your own business. ;)

    "all you need is a half decent salary and good credit to get a loan. I guess his priorities are focused on himself and at that age thats cool. As you get older there's the mortagage"

    I have the mortgage I just don't have the nagging wife but I don't recommend getting yourself a credit type loan for cars though - just has come up in the thread else and anything Bank of Scotland etc can offer you is best avoided.

    Ah yes, my illegal plates.

    I got them done in Beacon Valeting but you can get them anywhere really. Just ask the guy to leave off the county and hyphens.

    I have the 'real' set in the boot so if (and it's a big if) a copper takes exception to them, I'll change them in front of him.

    I wouldn't worry about the plates, the next time you'll need to put them on is in 4 years time for your NCT.

    That' assuming you haven't sold it to me by then:D :D

    Cheers Sneaky.. I had a guy in a 06 red ST looking for a bit of a challenge on Sat actually, lovely sound off his car but I was on the phone and my engine was cold :D

    I don't understand the great mystery shown by people on here about people in their mid 20s making money in their jobs.

    I have friends 25 years of age who are pharmacists and walked from college into jobs paying them €70,000 a year. I think SOME of you need to get out of the late 80s on here and realise you don't need to be 50 and a civil servant to have a few quid.
