Hey Guys,
Not to new to the forum only posted a couple times.
I'm 16,will be 17 in a few weeks, had my P's for like 6 months, been working hard for like 2 years then bought my first car.
It's a 97 EL Fairmont in Sparkling Burgundy .
Only 160,000 kms, bought it fully stock.
Anyways heres a few pictures :

When i first got it:

Then i got it lowered, with kings superlows and boge short strut shocks : ( pictures make it look high, i can only fit one finger between tire and guard)

Thanks heaps man.

In SA you can legally get your L's when you turn 16 , then after 6 months you can get your P's, but only after you have passed the P's test and completed 50 hours ( 40 day time and 10 night time). There is also two ways to pass the test, one which is by log book having lessons and getting things ticked off as you go or a test which is quicker but harder as you cant make a mistake. I had my P's after 4 months but wasn't legally aloud to get them til the 6 months of your L's had passed. SA is the best in this regard IMO.
