Seriously considering getting a run-a-round so I could get some serious work done on the mini and not have to use it.
The only thing stopping me is stupidly high insurance on any other car..ive tried Kas, corsas, clios, rover metros and 25s..everything I try comes in at 5-7K

Ive only been driving for 5 months but still...5grand :0

While im here does anyone know what I need to ride a 125 motorbike? Is it just a CBT? :)

Maybe a rather pointless thread..sorry haa

[madboy]

i would walk or get a a push bike

[orangeboy]

just a cbt for a 125, lasts for 2 years

[Chance]

WALK!! what is that?

If thats all it is..we already have a 125...just needs an MOT...will most likely get that booked pronto :)

Cheers

My mate got insured on a scooby for less than I would on a Mini..

[Chance]

How old is he??

Im worried about renewing the insurance on the mini at the end of this year, with footman james at the moment but ive heard they wont insure anyone under the age of 21 anymore...even if you are already with them..

On what his dads insurance? I cant believe for a second any insurance company would feel someone is likely to be a safer driver in a subaru than a mini

And chance its not true, it depends who your underwriter for footman james is. One underwriter backed out and now they are looking for a new one. I wouldent worry yourself to much. I am also with footman.

Well we are both only 15-16 and we put our details as if we just passed our test and Insurance for my Mini with Declared Mods was 4k and a Scooby was 2k..

Last September Scott got fully comp on his 03 plate 1ltr Corsa for £2000. The car cost the same. That was the cheapest car he could insure.

Lol, who was you trying to get quotes with? Please dont say online compare the market and all that c**p they are the most unrealistic quotes. I am still to this day quoted 4.5k for my mini with the modified 1275, yet footman insure me for less than a grand...

Good stuff then :)

Ive put my mini through compare websites and it comes out triple what footman james insure me for...standard 998


Good call with the matiz :)
Of course i could just suffer public transport

Cars that ricers/chavs/badmans dont drive tend to be your cheaper ones to insure... Or rarer cars that insurance companies rarely see. Daihatsu charade gtti was a beast and would challenge a new golf gti off the line and cheap to insure, however they are rare as rocking horse Also cars like what garath has shown and also the fiat seicento, you get the idea

Lol u dont want to be a bus wan**er lol :) yeah check them out.. also robin reliant lol ...... again cheap u may laugh but if u can drive from a - b.. and its cheap who cares lol
