Hello, my name's Emma, i just joined this evening! My dad's already a member and recommended this site to me! I'm looking for my first mini and posted info. on the wanted page. My parents have 2 mini's already but it costs far too much to insure me on them as they're bth modified, so i now how to wait 4 years til im 25 to get on them or buy my own but to be honest, it's proving a lot harder than me and my old man expected!! Just hope someone can help me!!

Anyway - Hello to everyone!!

Emma x

:tongue:

Lo and welcome....

Don't be fooled by the name but Grotbag will be available soon... mechanially and structurally sound, but is scruffy ( deliberately )

hello :grin:

you'd be best getting your own insurance policy, if you start on a 1000 mini its probably as cheap as anything you'll find to insure :) and you can build up a no claims discount then
My insurance has stayed around the same since i was 17, its just the cars have got newer and faster since :grin:

Mike :)
