Killian O'Sullivan Actor in RTE's Fair City
What was your first car and why did you choose it?
I've just bought it, a Peugeot 306.
Why did you choose it?
I've always liked the shape of the car and the engine was the right size for insurance purposes.
How old are you?
I'm 18 years old.
Is it new or second-hand?
It's second-hand.
Did you know the person you were buying it from?
I was recommended this garage by a mechanic friend of mine.
Do you know much about cars?
I've a great interest in cars and I regularly attend modified car shows.
Why did you decide to get a car now?
Up until now I've been a named driver on my mother's car but, now that I've finished school, sharing my mother's car while I was working wasn't ideal.
Is it making any difference to your life - and your pocket?
It opens up greater independence, freedom and responsibility for me. As for my pocket - my insurance costs nearly as much as the car so I reckon there will be more nights in with my girlfriend, Aoibhin.
Any run-ins with the law since you started driving it?
Not yet - I have only had it since Monday.
Your longest trip so far?
Well, the longest trip was bringing it from the garage in Wicklow where I bought it to my home in Templeogue.
How long do you plan to keep the car? All going well, I'll probably keep it for a couple of years. During that time I intend to modify it - put in a good sound system, alloys, etc.
What would be your dream car?
My dream car is the one I'm driving now. It's always been my dream to own my own car and it's finally happened.
