yes in and out but im 26 now and mostly had one since!

Id guess anyone at 17 having one either wasnt legal or was on trade insurance/thier dad was a trader etc etc.

My insurance was Ł3200

puntogtkid

i know had onw with a T25 turbo 330 injectors, 2.5" straight through exhuast, walbro uprated pump, k+n FMIC etc, was RR at 211 BHP was fukin fast as fuk, it was like been in a 0.8 until 4,000 revs in first gear then all hell broke loose might be grabbing another one for the hell of it traction was always a problem

puntogtkid

im one my dads traders all properly insured, i wouldnt even want to get a qoute of my own, always been on traders since the day i started driving, so got no, no claims bonus

GTi-R23

Jesus mine was bad enough for traction with alot less power than you! I used to love scaring passengers in the wet, 3rd gear and floor it, used to spin up a treat, loads of fun.

Good luck with the Saph mate

Rhys

Had mine as 19! 9 years ago omg lol. not had it in over 3 years now though.

puntogtkid

thanks mate i need it already!

puntogtkid

Rhys how do u upload picture like u have..

Mr Brannen

I had one when I was 20. Sometimes i wonder how i made it out of that era alive!! Good times they were, I done some fuckin crazy shit in my Magenta saff, spent some proper money on it (13k in 14 months) and I would just drive round all day every day putting about 100 quid a week petrol in it thinking I was the man!! , and I dont regret it one bit, fuckin loved that car, funny thing is ive had another 4 cossies since and were all in better nick than my Magenta one but i always liked my 1st one strangely.

rik-rs

makes me sick!!!!!, you young whipper snappers with cossies

ive never had one

i remember being 19 and couldnt even get insurance on a 1.3 metro with some places...

john

Had my first one at 19 was mercury grey. Insurance was Ł1700 what i thought was good.

i had just turned 20 when i got my first sapphire, saved for a year for it as the price was so cheap. simply because insurance was so expensive, for a 7/8 year old sapphire was being sold for near on 3.5k, saved for tha year and by then the insurance had come down on them, so i ended up paying Ł4700 and Ł800 for insurance, had that a year and sold it for a profit !

only had a couple of road going casworths since then, fast road cars dont interest me as you just cannot use them as we used to be able to get away with.

I managed to collect 7 points whilst i had my first sapphire (not for speeding )

im older and wiser now !

puntogtkid

Lmfao! i thought cosworths were for the older generation obv's i was wrong

thebigyin

i was 18 when i got my first in 1992, white g plate, what a day that was

Grantcos

Just turned 24 when i got my escos, i'm 25 in october.

rossco22

Had my stage 1 crystal blue 2wd saff at 19 al mods declared & insured properly .... Just could hardly afford to drive it after buying & insuring it... Was worth it though lol..

p.cressie

Can you remember what you paid for the car, and how much your insurance was back then?

BigErn

I was 21 when I got mine, White G plate stage 3 Sapph. Insurance was Ł1200 TPFT with 2 years NCD. Running/constantly rebuilding it was the killer.

thebigyin

15.99500 pounds, insurance was 100 quid fully comp for me on a a reg 1 litre BROWN metro

and 500 pounds for my father on the cosworth with me named on the policy, postcode in the highlands of scotland helped no end still does in fact.

p.cressie

16k is alot of money today, but back in 1992 it must have been a hell of alot for an 18 to spend on a car, hats off to you. How long did you have the car. and did you have any more cossies after it. sorry for being nosey lol

Minirotty

OldDan

I'd love one - but in M28 post code they won't insure my fiesta never mind a decent quote on a cossie.

ANDYRACER
