Thread: Stupid insurance!!

I really shouldnt complain because i get my car insurance free (my dad owns a car dealership so im on their insurance), but he was renewing the insurance today and i was hoping I could get on full insurance. Unfortunately they wouldnt allow it so as it stands im restricted to a 1.4 engines until im 25!!! I dont want to sound like im moaning as i appreciate not having to pay for my insurance but i really wanted to chav it up in an impreza for at least a month just to get it out of my system!! lol

Anyway rant over.

Does anyone out there have a fast car and when did you get your first proper car (must be 2ltr or above lol)

lol how random is that that uve posted this before i replied to the last one lol , i started with a golf gti the mk3 version 1993 at 18 , then i got a saxo VTR and flipped it , then a golf MK4 GTI the turbo version , the head gasket went so i got another saxo !! ( i knw silly choice) but i part exd it for a focus ST 170 so im settling on that now its a nice comfy drive ! but im a VW man really

No mate.

As a family man I'm a sensible chap.

Just my diablo red, Peugot 307 Special Edition which is a 1.6.

my last car was a mk4 golf. i loved it. always wanted a golf and then got one and was sooo happy. much better than my first car (rover lol). i put so much power into my sound system in the golf the batter would die and the car would turn off randomly when i was driving, really scary when going round a corner and you lose power sterring all of a sudden lol. i really want a gold R32 as well, theyre nice. my dad let me drive a 350bhp impreza for one night last year and i fell in love lol. it was terrifying.

Wilks i see your point and im sure ill go back to a 1.4 or something in later life but right now i just want to enjoy driving.

the golf mk4's are gorgeous fair play i loved mine too , mine used to do the exact same cut out , the first reason was u put the clutch in to coast a corner and the rev counter would just drop and the car would stall !! found out after months that it was a dirty throttle air thing , 2nd time the piece of metal on top of the battery snapped !!! , lol ive had toe 1.4 golf mk4 which i didnt like coz it was such a smart car but no power i was lucky because mine came with the 18" vag wheels what do you drive now AC?

that makes much more sense. my dad clearly isnt a very good mechanic or he didnt care what the problem was lol.

at the moment i have an 05 plate astra. its really nice, its the SXI so has the nice alloys etc. the only problem is its a 1.4 so got no oomph. Im putting a crazy sound system in next week so even though ill be going slow... ill be going loud lol.

aww i like astra's theyre tidy , nice sound system , but the thing is havnt a quick car is cool but u gget bored of fuel prices very quick , i always wanted to have like an MG Zr 1.4 to go about in with the mrs , and then like a vintage golf VR6 2.8 V6 hidden in the garage i could bust out at nites n stuff , Adam u still in work now ?!!!

ok i know you said over 2.0 but old school polo g40 does 0-62 in 8 secs and thats a 1.1 115bhp so you could get that on your insurance and its fast. thats what i want

omg the g40 is like lets not say a wolfe in sheeps clothing more like a Dinosaur in sheeps clothing arnt they like supercharged aswel????? Jesus do i love VAG LOL

How about buying an Impreza and take it on some trackdays? Get someone old enough to drive your car there and you are good to go.






I love my current car, but I'm old & have done my time in uninspiring cars.... (though I did have motorbikes at the same time).
