Car or the money?

[Glasgow]

Alright guys? Right joining the army will be my 1st real job with real pay. I’ll probably be able to afford an alright car.

Do you guys who are in the army buy cars or do you just use trains and stuff. Coz I’m thinking that It’s a lot of £ to spend on a car that you’re not going to be able to use very often.

So is it worth buying a car or what?

Cheers.

I plan to sell mine when I go in, I can't see the point of owning one if I'm hardly ever going to use it...

Im hoping to join paras in the summer and got my driving test next week, I could really do with some transport to work ect. Is it an option to get temporary insurance in 5 months time I could sell my car and discontinue paying insurance??

Depends how far you are going to be travelling from home to base. My mate comes from London, but his regiment 1RGJ are based in Blackpool so he needs his car. Only get one if you are going to get good use out of it.

So can you bring your car to basic training?

[Nimbard]

I dont think you can have cars on base during basic training but after that then its no problem..

I'd say its wise to get a car as otherwise when you come back on leave you'l just be sat around bored when you could drive somewhere and have a laugh, but thats just my opinion

[Worthers Original]

...when you could drive somewhere and have a laugh...

That's what's been missing all these years. I wish someone had told me earlier. I just have a laugh where I am, I didn't realise you were supposed to drive somewhere first.

[Nimbard]

Thats it Worthers outside now... we'll settle this with sticks and KY Jelly hehe.

Well if you live in such a crap place as I do you need to drive somewhere else to find fun

[Worthers Original]

If that's how you have fun then no wonder you have to drive somewhere to do it When you get some leave just find somewhere else to go. No law says you have to go back to the place you're trying to escape from.




KY indeed

lol I happen to like sticks mr man ... but honestly I know i dont have to come back here but this is where most of my friends are and I would be happy just to stay here but you have to do other stuff and most places you need a car to get there.

Yes indeed KY

Some Regiments get put on a 24 hour standby quite often, so if you have a car how are you going to overcome that one. Are you going to leave the car parked up some where to be stripped for spares by other people.
Now the best things is to go for some lttle out fit that does nothing all the time and just keep out of the way of every one.
