Default ecossie owners how old are you???

as above i'm 23 but ringing round for insurance they dnt like insuring me on a 17k car when i have 5yrs ncb drove fast cars since passed my test ....

i'm with HIC but they want £1500 for me to upgrade my cossie to 340bhp that steep?? thats with limited mileage of 5k

greenlight just said because of my age they cant insure the car for 17k

just seems odd to me

waiting for kelv's man to call me back

as for greenlight until i'm 25 they wont insure the car for more than 15k apparently so thats that out the window...

i cant call flux as i'm with HIC and there now part of flux so thats that out the window too ...

i wouldn't mind paying for it but just want them knocked down a hundred or two as we all know they can they just dont until you get a better price

i am 42 and in OZ. i have one of about six escort cossies in WA. mine is insured here with a car enthusiasts company called shannons it costs me $1,200 a year ( about 500 pounds ) i have 65% no claims and agreed value of $63,000 (about 25,000 pounds) because of its rareity, i also have salvage rights on the car. it is worth more dead than alive. but i love it so much i dont care how much its wort or what i have to pay in insurance. i am constantly looking in the rear view mirror. ( i have anti lock brakes but there are so many buckets of shit on the road here that dont, they dont even have MOT tests.)

unfortunately I'm 50.

who cares, as my memory is now failing, I simply can't remember where that bloody brake pedal is.

which means I get to drive faster than everyone on here, except the guys who are 51 of course.



I almost forgot, my car doesn't have insurance.

WEPT Steven! I'd never pay that much! I'm guessing you've taken repair costs into account too?

Kenny, guessing you're joking re insurance?!

Nopez, he's not as his car is purely a "bergsprint" car in Germany.
He doesn't drive it on normal public roads except during these sprints.

Speedy is right, my car is for hillclimbs only.

If only racing insurance was possible for a reasonable price.

I should say I'm impressed so many young members have Escort Cosworths.

My first car was an escort van.

Have fun and enjoy the moment, who knows what the future will bring, especially with fuel costs, gov regulations, speeding, insurance, MOT's etc.

Geert, unfortunately you know all about MOT's.
