well....2nd time of trying my driving test, passed with 2 minors last friday

- control, reversing round a corner....basically, didnt know if i hit the curb or went down a grate so just pulled forward and did it again...

- control of gears....hehe, think i got a crunch into reverse or it was the slam into 1st from 5th :wub::)

anyhoo, pass plus now for 2 weeks then free to drive my mini :lol:

been quoted £1400 fully comp on my own (im 17) seems good...they said corsa would be more and my car is a mini cooper 1.3 (see below)

see you on the road :blink:

What insurance company are you with?

£1400 for a Mini Cooper seems quite good :saywhat:

Congratulations and well done. ENjoy yourself!

Good man on buying the insurance in your own name, when you get to my age, 23 haha, and you've had insurance since 17 in your own name since passing its LOADS cheaper. :blink:

Stay out of trouble and be safe :wub:

I take it it's not a 998 then? I just hope you don't have a crash and have to claim then !! :wub:
