Parent

Parent
bout 1300 i guess (they saw me rollin)
20 hours of practice = 1200 euros
theoretical exam = 15 euros
practical exam = 36 euros
Wtf? Praktijk is hier sowieso 150 ofzo :D
Parent
Beter dat wij ook geen regering krijgen :(
Parent
Dan hebben die faalkinderen helemaal geen motivatie meer
sommige mensen falen gewoon 5 keer en moeten dan een verplicht cursus volgen
Parent
ja ma ge moet ma beperkt aantal uur verplicht rijschool volgen nie?
Parent
g moet in feite geen lessen volgen , per 2x dat g u praktijk buist moet ge er verplicht 6 volgen. En met 20 krijgt ge een voorlopig rijbewijs waardoor ge alleen, zonder passagiers, van zondag avond 22:00 uur fzo tot vrijdag avond 22:00 kunt rijden.
Parent
1800 DM - 20 practical hourse and 12 theory? or 20 theory? I dunno. if you visit the theory class 3 times a week and have all the money you could have done it within 1-2 months I guess. back when I made mine at least.
300-350e and 2-3months max
why would you pay to drive tractor ?

Parent
it costs money to get a drivers license over there? lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllllll
you go to prison for drug possession over there? lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
you go to prison for being drunk over there? lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
actually getting the license, not so much... this journal is mostly about the cost of training to drive though, which unless you have a parent or someone close that knows how to teach you to pass the exam (driving normally and driving to pass the exam are very different) then no it certainly is not free

and yeah america has far bigger social problems than europe, allow me to jump on the bandwagon

you get pepper sprayed in the face for peaceful protest over there? lllllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
You're such a fucking hippy.
Parent
you enjoy living in a police state? lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllll

you get pepper sprayed in the face for peaceful protest over there? lllllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllllll

Parent
lol you still mad america p00ped on you in ww1 and 2? lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllll HEIL

you have to be 21 to drink over there lllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
You managed to elect George W. Bush to office over there? lllllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllllll
Twice? lllllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
you enjoy living with decriminalization of drugs, prostitution, legal gay marriage, multi-partner marriage, euthanasia, suicide pills? lllllllllllllllllllllllllolllllllllllllllllllllllll
Parent
best case scenario: he's a european troll on a proxy

worst case scenario: he's serious
Parent
Either scenario I am left feeling really confused.
Parent
Funny thing is most of the things he listed are actually legal in parts of America, so either way he is a retard.
Parent
you think drugs should be criminalized and that suicide/gay marriage should be illegal? america probably is for you then rofl
Parent
What is this I don't even.. wait, what?
Parent
Multi partner marriage? I'm quite sure that's illegal :D.

On the rest, yes.
Parent
£500-£600 maybe?

i don't see why you'd have to study hard though, learning to drive is just taking experience driving in a car, the theory is easy (atleast in the UK) and it's more about how much practice you can get and how naturally it comes to you
its not natural to drive wrong side of the road
Parent
it's the same shit if the wheel is on the other side
Parent

Frische Muscheln!
Parent
nein danke :)
Parent
~3800 euros is the cheapest you can get it around my area if you're good enough not to take extra lessons. So it costed me 3800eur and took me from september to january to get it, but the two last month were pure waiting. Driving around in VW Polo 2011. :)
3800 :o WTF

here France around 800-1000 € passed all first time.
Parent
It's fucking Norway man, in Norway, instead of having random people spam you with flyers when you walk down the street, they give you free money.
Parent
850€ and 4 month

buying a golf IV 1.6 tomorrow. muhahah
over 250-300 euro, and 30 hours of lerning
buying your license without doing shit costs around €1500-2000 :)
Heard that it cost like 1600€ for legit one in Poland :D
Parent
I paid 550€ @ Portugal Portugal.

Took me 3 years and 2 months to get it. Why? Parents did the signup and i wasn't motivated enough, then university started and i didn't feel like wasting my free time studying for the license..But then university forced us to have some lessons at night and i had no way to come back home, so i really had to finish the drive license :D

Took 1.5 weeks non stop of "code" lessons and then 3 weeks of driving lessons. Got approved with 100% right answers at code and 0 mistakes at driving, fuck yeah.. after all it was very easy. But i only realized that after 3 years xD

I drive a VW Polo 2010.
eu pensava que ao fim de três anos depois da inscrição tinhas de a repetir.
Parent
Sim, a licença dura 2 anos. Após os 2 anos tive que pedir uma licença de aprendizagem nova (custou 55€+3€ de consulta do médico). Durante os 3 anos fui indo as aulas quando me lembrava mas claro que não etrava nada até me dedicar aquilo ^.^
Parent
ah pois bem me parecia que isso acontecia. eu não fui a metade das aulas de código, apenas ia la e assinava o caderno e já estava.
Parent
O meu grande medo era o código. Odeio decorar cenas e mentalizei me que não ia conseguir decorar aquilo tudo, então nunca me esforcei. Afinal até era fácil, bastava ir as aulas e estar atento.. Eu ia as aulas tipo1x por mês e não estudava nada em casa...Na escola onde tirei, as aulas não eram por "modulos", nem por horas.. ia-se tipo 3 horas ou mais e ele ia falando do que ia aparecendo em perguntas.. se fosse sinais, falava de sinais durante um pedaço, se a pergunta a seguir fosse de coimas era de coimas que se falava.. muito esquesito <.<
Parent
paid around 1100, cuz i did it in a holiday driving school :_D
so it took me 3 weeks!

ROFL!

Paid 15 for theory + 30 practice exam + ~10 for the paper= €55

Learned with my father with the family car (brand new Peugeot Partner at the time, 15 months ago)
I can't recall too well, but it wasn't too much as most of you mentioned above.

About €15 theoretical, and €30 practical. I did not take any driving lessons, so the price remains pretty low.
same, weird to see that everyone took lessons!

For me the theoritical was free (did it in school) and the practical was 36 euros!
Parent
In some countries its mandatory to take lessons. You wont be allowed to official exam unless you passed the driving school exam.
Parent
It's not allowed to let your parents teach you on the public roads in many countries. And in some countries you are even forced to take a minimal of lessons.

EDIT: didnt read the reply from skinner (forgot to push submit after typing xD)
Parent

40 days - theory practice and exam for all those things i paid 300€ + 15€ for paper
~1000€ .. the learning part took me ~1-2 months (did it pretty relaxed as I started in the summer and couldn't get it before january anyway).

Did the truck driving license for free @army

you have a weird dream.
do you have to take lessons for your driving exam? can't you just practise with your parents
Parent
there are two different ways. Either learning driving with some teacher from the driving school or doing it with your parents. However, theory must be done @driving school in any case.
Parent
it's the same here I guess.. either practise with driving instructor (which is expensive) or with your parents. When you're ready go to driving school, do exam (costs 36 euro here), pass and you have your license
Parent
not sure about other countries, but at Portugal in order to step into a car and drive before you own a driving license, you need a learning license... otherwise it's like a "crime" and you are not allowed to LEARN how the code/drive for 2 years and you need to pay for your mistake (can't remember how much). You can only drive a car with a learning license IF you have a driving teacher at your side :P
Parent
where would you practice?
Parent
ive just started on parkings and then on roads
Parent
And it's legal?
Parent
yep, as soon as you have your theoretic drivers license, you get the blue 'L' (leerling) to put on the backwindow of your car + an extra mirror. From then on, you can drive everywhere in belgium (maybe even further) when someone who has his license for 6 or more years is accompaning you! so basically, even if you have never driven a single minute in your life before your theoretical, from that moment you are allowed to drive on the road..
Parent
That's cool. Here in the Netherlands it's illegal to drive without an instructor if you do not have your license yet. That means lessons are mandatory for most people. You are ofcourse to drive on your own land if you have it.
Parent
why weird :P i like BMWs and 7er 2011 with alpina tuning b7 probably like what? 6.0l? 300-400 kw?D:


not aiming for any ferraris or bugattis because its not doable
Parent
uhm its 4,4L (mainly getting the horsepower from the 2 turbos) and ~130.000$.

For that amount of money you can get:
Ferrari F430 F1/Spyder
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini Murcielago
...

If I had to choose between those or the BMW.. bye BMW :D
Parent
130k$ and lamborgini? highly doubtful

still i like BMWs :D
Parent
I just checked the price on some seller :P

Well everyone has its own taste :) Good luck atg etting your dream car ;D
Parent
haha thanks, not gonna happen in close future :-D
Parent
have fun paying 4000€ insurance for a year
Parent
insurance should be pretty much the same for a 501ps bmw or a 550-600ps ferrari/lambo ?

If you can pay 130k for a car then the 4k insurance should be no deal for you :D
Parent
sollt dann auch kein problem mehr darstellen ja :DD

~1500/1750 in 2006/2007

Had my final test the monday after cpc2!

Took me from July till April (had 5 weeks break at summer and a 2 weeks break when it was winter). Took 1 lesson a week because my parents told me to get it and I didnt want to get it. But now ive got it I dont know what to do without it ^^

Driving a Golf V from 2007.
around 300€ in Poland, did everything in 1 month (was on 1 theoretical lesson, becase the teacher was my friend's uncle, started driving at the beginning of December, had exam on 3rd of January:) passed on the first try. don't have my own car yet!
theoretical exam = 15 euros
practical exam = 36 euros
Theory Test was 30 eur then had to pay another 20 for the driving license. Driving exam was 80 eur + i had to take 5 driving lessons to learn how to "drive like a nooooooob" which was 150 all together and then 25 eur for the license.
Driving C class mercedes but selling it in few months and buyin 01 Bmw 728.
i feel i got robbed. thanks!
My brother passed it in USA recently - cost him 30 USD for both exams. And you are allowed to make plenty of mistakes in the theoretical part.

in the proper aston green
Paid around 1200 Euro iirc and took me around 5-6 months I believe? Passed everything on the first attempt, wasn't that hard :-P

Managed to crash my lovely Mercedes 190d (with just under 80k on the clock...) after 1 week. Was raining, no ABS, me@noob mode and slightly too fast, some nice sliding and finally slowly landing on the rooftop.

Now driving my mother's Renault Megane '96 sometimes on weekends. Don't have my own car atm. No need in the city and couldn't afford it anyway :-)
what mercedes exactly? year class 1.9l diesel 80k probably new? 2008?
Parent
The model is called 190d, google it. Was a 1990 model, extremely reliable and even fuel saving :-(
Parent
under 80k kilometers? 90s?

lolwut
Parent
Ye, was some old guys car, barely moved it. Those engines back then easily made it to 250k without any problems most of the times, so ye. Unlucky I'd say!
Parent
13xx euro, half a year, blue car

taking my driver license right now, paid 1679e :(

taking 2 - 3 months
I went to www.autosoit.ee , they asked about 500 euros , but extra driving lessons and i failed 2 times in 2 exams so i paid around 620 euros. But now i can drive and this over half year of shit is over.

how much did taht GTR nissan cost you :-D i know its probably 90s year (1998-99?) still awesome car

or is it ur dream car :P
Parent
V Spec II Nur - $ 63,USD FOB Price Chile, Actually it was my dream car until 2 years ago.

e: That car it's from the 2001, The last Skyline was the GTR-R34 Nismo tune Z in 2002
Parent
Quote$ 63,USD FOB Price Chile,


$63,000?
Parent
Yeah $ 63,000 USD My bad. ;*
Parent
rich ass motherfucker
Parent
The American dollar in chile is not that expensive, and plus i Import those cars_pP
Parent
Skyline GTR <3, good taste bro, even my favourite colour. Too bad its right steered though, damn turbo! :P
Parent
Since the car is Twin Turbo, you can't change the wheel to the right. because the car was sold in Japan austrialia those countries..
Parent
Thats what I was trying to say. ;) I know quite a bit about the Skyline myself. :p Tried VMax yet? :D
Parent
No, i do not want to die yet :P
Parent
That would probably be one of the first things I'd do, but then again, its legal in here and probably a lot safer concerning the quality of our roads, no offense though. :)
Parent
Actually you're right, The roads over here aren't the best in south america. The maximum speed on that car was 210km/h but i'm pretty sure it can handle 250km/h or 300km/h with a shipped ECU.

but also My silvia is good since i it has a SR20DET :PpPPp.
Parent
Not bad, I suppose its the 2,0litre same as the 200SX? Engine is ok but I don't really like the old silvia, the S15 Aero Spec R is pretty sexy though. :P
Parent
Actually i agree with you, but the S13 It's a legend. And i also have a cuple of Silvias in my stock an Spec S, Spec R with the Aereo Visial Kit.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Assiancare-EIRL/223558437700252

:pPpp

e : All the S15's have a 2000cc Engine. The S13's Have 1800cc to 2400cc Super Charger and Twin Turbo
Parent
Jeeeez! Nice! I'll take the Skyline R33 GT-R in Midnight Blue :P, also gimme that RX7. Unfortunately its not a Bathurst R. :( The EVO is also an awesome car, but the newer models became kinda ugly, at least thats my opinion. Greetz for such nice cars, I fucking hate the fact that they're mostly right steered, although that makes them a lot cheaper in here.

Edit: Forgot to say I also want that NSX, they're sooo fucking expensive though.
Parent
Glad yo know that people from this website actually know about cars. Real cars :P

Sir, You Have my respects.
Parent
Haha well I've always been into cars, but when I first saw them Fast & Furious movies, I guess they've caught me then. Ever since then I wanted a R34 GTR myself haha also loved the RX7 in Tokio Drift with that Veilside bodykit ;_; sooo beautiful.

You got an awesome job, wish I could do something like that, but instead I'm wasting my time at university. :| Oh be sure to check out the MR2 if you don't already import them. Stunning car with awesome driving abilities, especially with the 3SGTE Turbocharged engine. Makes it a 240+ HP car with a little more than 1000kg? :P
Parent
True true, I didn't study this year because the protest and stuff over here " Free Education " and bla bla, I guess you're talking about the Toyota MRS ED, The who looks like a Porche :P?

And about that 240HP + 1000Kg, Thats a lethal weapon mate, Actually if you want to check some cars You can visit Action houses in Japan for DIM or FOB prices.

Also the best cars that i know belong to Team Orange, or a Nissan Skyline Nismo Tune Z from Falken Drifting team. : )

e: RIP Skyline GTR since Infinity took it, the models are just awfull but the GTR-R35 It's also a sick car the Godzilla :P
Parent
Ye the New GTR is damn fine aswell. Also its kinda "cheap" compared to other cars with the same performance. The Falken Skyline's are awesome, dunno about Team Orange, I know their name but can't remember how they look like.

But Blitz tuned a Skyline to 1000HP and when they tried to VMAX it, some body parts went flying @ 340km/h imagine that haha. Mine's also made a great looking Skyline. :)

Oh and yes I guess we're both talking about the same car, but I was talking about the older model, which also has a better engine than the new one's. The new one's aren't THAT ugly but they're girly as hell. This is the car I'm talking about:

image: mr2mar06_main
Parent
Sick car, also you're right the GTR is kinda cheap in fact in the action house that i work with i can find R35's For around 75,000 USD Like this one with 5,000 KM " is not SpecV "

Theres also a Nissan Silvia with 1000hp on a Drag race and the engine just explode in the middle of the race xd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKAUlzYG_8

Anyway the car in your picture is sick like i said before but i preffer the Jap tunning, Like just the wheels low profile and standar colors. :)
Parent
Ah well so you like to drive "understatement". Well I don't like overtuned cars either, but the MR2 above would be perfectly fine, except for the colour. I'd go for the Ferrari Red, but in general I agree that a car only needs a cool colour and better Rims.

Can you tell me anything about the NSX? I know that it has a 3,0 - 3,2 litre DOHC engine, but it doesn't have a turbo, does it? Is the engine reliable? Also how fast is it in comparison to lets say a Skyline & a Supra? They're really rare here in Germany, I have only seen one once in my life, probably because they're fucking expensive for an old car. You won't get them in here for under 30.000€, and they are probably not 100 percent in shape. Really good ones like the Type R cost about 70.000€ (which is about 100k USD), and they're used and still have about ~60.000km. Incredibly cool car, but too damn expensive. -.-
Parent
100K Are you kidding me? I buy those cars for around 60K FOB Price, and in DIM for like 40K USD.... With low km, we're talking about 30,000 to 70,000 KM Max.

And yeah the engine it's 3.0L VTEC "V6" Also the NSX Mugen RR it's 3.2 VTEC I don't know how fast is that car since in never drive it before. But those cars Supra Skyline and NSX are in the same Level 5.0 High performance cars. But the skyline is the best since it's 4WD In my opinion.

In Ireland it's only been the law that you need to learn from a licensed instructor for the past year or so. Before that anyone with a full driving license could teach you, provided you had a learner's permit/provisional license, and you only needed to pass a relatively simple theory test to get one of those. My dad taught me how to drive, although I did do a couple of lessons with a proper instructor. I'd say I spent around €150 all told.
I think about €1700 in total and about 7 months
35 lessons (€40 each)
did a practical test halfway, which was €80 extra
practical exam was €200 (if I remember correctly)
