:party3: Happy 16th Birthday :party3:

Congratulations on getting your learners, and that is going to be one awesome car to learn to drive in... Well done..

Just remember.. you are 16 but you are not invincible.... :

Take care, drive safely and watch out for those impatient buggers on the road that will probably try to intimidate you because you are only learning..

Have a fantastic birthday matey (not sure if it could get much better than getting your learner's first pop though)

happy birthday buddy!! Nice car to start your off you driving experience in too!

I remember when i was 16...only 6 years ago...one thing that helped me through was this motto my dad told me (i think a lot of parents use it) "Drive like every one else on the road arround is an idiot"

On your 16th birthday people give you presents and advice.

Take the presents.

Happy birthday.
