No - I did that myself, but they did help later on, like instead of part-exing their SO Morris 1100 I 'inherited' it. But at the same time some of my mates were spoon-fead, with new or nearly new fully financed cars, hence 'you are mistaking your own experiences for everyone else's.' -- Rob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

I can't understand anyone who can afford it not helping their kids out. They'll get the money eventually so spend it on them now rather than let them inherit it and pay even more tax.

The reason my parents generation mostly (nods to Rope) didn't buy their kids cars was because they couldn't afford it. A car, even an old banger, was a pretty significant purchase back then. Nowadays, when you can get a car with a years ticket for a few hundred quid, and I can see why most parents make it a 17th birthday present or similar. I doubt I'll be any different. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. ZX10R | Hayabusa | GPz750turbo neal at champ dot org dot uk |
