Like who is the youngest cossie owner?
Anybody have a fast car before they could drive on the road etc?

Im only 16, 17 in 2 weeks but sofar i have had 10 cars, including a 2.8i capri, not that quick but loads of fun and a xr4i. Just wondered

Also what is the most you have paid for insurance?

Stavros

Why you owned 10 cars even when you aint even old enough to drive on the road?

Graceland

i'm 21 and have had numerous XR4x4's, some of them turbo flavoured, now have a late K plate smokestone cossie.

but my daily driver has in excess of 1200bhp

GARETH T

Even though I passed my test at 17, I didn't own my own car until I was about 23!! PMSL. I am 30 now and still own a Mk4 Escort.

saff_cossie

Had an XR3i at 18 which was a killer on insurance nevermind a cossie! 1500pounds tp only as it was first policy! (paid less for the car!) Had a cossie at 23 which was 1200pounds tpft, first policy again as the 3i ony lasted 7 weeks before the engine was destroyed. Now have a Lexus at 24 and paying 200pounds fully comp.

No there isnt a typo or any false information in the above statement

Spax

I had a Saph Cossie at 20, my mate had an Escos at 18 no shit and another mate had a saph cossie at 19 Insurance is a bit cheaper over here

GOT2BZETEC

er i race stock cars, so i have had 4 mini's, (loads of fun) i bought a 2.8i capri, planning on racing it but i sold that, er so i bought this xr4i insted, i have another xr4i for pats and the shell er 2 escorts, my road car. and a pug 306 that my mate crashed so i gave him 100 for it. Lucky considering some of my mates aint even aloud a car

GARETH T

just saved/worked/loaned

mattbibs

if things go according to plan then i'll have a cossie when i turn 21 this year. just concentrate on getting your bonus up until you get to your 20's!

Jemma

im gonna move to guernsey if its cheap lol
ive not had a car yet, soon to be learning ive been doing a few quotes and im getting silly prices, i might just stick to my good ol 2 legs at this rate

big_wig_074

paid 2300 quid for insurance on my cossie at 22 years old(just come off a ban!)

RSCosworth

bought my sapph 4x4 when I was 19.
first quote I got was around Ł13-14000 punds.

now I pay Ł5-600 a year. (20 years old)
insurance system in norway is different though... we insure the car not the driver.

mattbibs

14k on insurance!!!

Rhys

I got my saff when i was 19

Gaaables

got my shaff when i was 20, escort cos at 21

GOT2BZETEC

Impressive stuff, i will just try not to crash till im like 19/20, besides farm insurance is cheap, one of my mates is payin 1k for insurance on like a 1.1 but iv got insurance on a 1.6 16v for 485.!

Azrael

I'm 22 at the moment and I have Escort Cossie for two years now

I still can't have it insured fromtheft/crash demage for resonable money :-(

LittleMissFordie

I am 17 and got quoted last month Ł2600 for a standard rs turbo with only an exaust and dump valve on my own policy (3rd party) which i very nearly bought, but yes, I will be happy to pay that kind of money for the car Ive wanted since I was 5 years old. My ex of a year and a half got his evo 5 when he was 18 but insured a nova on a "any other car 3rd party" policy which allowed him to drive the evo, quite a good idea really as hes now 20 and still doing it

Even though I was only 16 I used to get to drive it out back roads and shit which was cool, not many people learn in a shiney white evo!

pee vee

Well
i was stood with the cash in my hand to buy a cossie today

and i called the insurance company to get them to start a policy...

they said,,, cant ask the underwriters on a weekend,,sorry,, you cant have it..

other insurance companies were equallly as shit

boXXer

i bought my 25,000 mile 3dr when i was 20, although i was turning 21 a couple of weeks after i bought it, lol.

Mike

kevandalice

is your name shaggy by any chance?

MK5RST

LMFAO @ That last statment

John_bonus90

my mate dan_rs bought his 3dr cozzie at 19

the fucking twat

caprixpack

im after getting a cossy by the time im 21 but an 1985 audi quattro ur with a 2.2 5cyl turbocharged engine is just a bit more tempting specially with a quote of Ł1543,

moonstone4x4

I was 19 when i had my FRST and 21 when i got the cos

steviecossie

ash79

I have owned 6 s1, 4 s2 by the time i was 22 then got a escort cossy and still have it.
I worked very hard, became the boss and by the time i was 21 was taking home very good money.
I have paid up to 2800 to insure my s1 at 18 ,lots of mods though. mind you it was 7 years ago.

Oranoco

I don't think that is legal Might get away with it up until the point he smacks it and his insurance co tell him to bugger off.

mattbibs

agreed - makes me sick when he can do that and im stuck with massive premiums on my own policy. if you want a fast car then insure it yourself!!

the saint

iTrader: (1)

just turned 20 when i bought my sapp and it cost 1900 to insure (two years ago)

kevandalice

it isn't. the evo would have to be previously insured by someone else to do this

Jim Galbally

1st car (i was 18... took me a year to pass my test ) was an XR3i

i paid THREE THOUSAND POUNDS to insure that third party only

stupid? FUCK YES

my next car (whilst i was still 18) was a 2.9L twin turbo XR4x4

i didn't actually tell the truth to the insurance company as it was costing an arm and aleg to insure it as a STANDARD car

now i'm 21 and ive got a saph cossie replica and that costs me 1k a year to insure


my advice (having done it) is to NOT get a high insrance group car for at least the 1st year youre driving... its just NOT worth it.

plynchy

Got my saff at 23,had S1 RST,Pug 205 etc prior to that. Turned 32 last August and still got it!
But it's got a Boxster keeping it company in the garage now.

pee vee

called HIC Today to get a quote for a saph cossie im wanting..

they said
HIC WONT insure you on a cossie unless you

Are over 22
have more than 2 years NCB
Have 1 year or more experience driving a cossie. !!

FFS.

other companies didnt want to know if i said it had 17" wheels.
so god knows what they will say when i mention 300+ bhp..


will try a few more tomorrow, but things aint lookin so hot.

unless its a completely standard cossie, then i can get insured for 850.

(im 24 BTW with 5 years NCB and no points or anything)
