Default hi everyone from a soon to be rs owner

Hi everyone
I've bitten the bullet and got my dads mate to find me an erst
Ive wanted one as long as i can remember and now i can (nearly) afford the £1800 insurance AND petrol i thought go for it

WOO i can't wait
I should hang on til may so i have 2 years no claims but it might take that long to find a good one cos i live in scotland

Bye bye fez Si
roll on turbo!

I knew good things would come after getting my corsa flattened by a transit pickup no insurance payout tho

Thanks everyone
20! only had my full since may 2003 though
i paid 1k on a car that will remain unamed for shame reasons it was 1 litre and not even a corsa..........
thats with adrian flux you should have heard my quote when i thought i had no noclaims ( Long story with the pickup, but i couldnt get him done for causing the crash) £3000! or £1800 third party, was just going to go third party i wasnt going to have him ruin everything for me! lol

it will bankrupt me and i wonder if i can handle it on these twisty crappy roads but i NEED it

am i getting shafted by adrian flux!?
it was only zorst/filter/suspension/alloys that i said i was gonna tweak!
mind i want a cage and buckets after my crash
The guy said id done everything possible to lower the insurance postcode discount, my job, 5000 miles a year (reality prob 30000) second car.
Mind every eRS bar 1 that has been in a local town has been written off and that one got sold out the area so im told
prob bollocks though but we have tonnes of crashes of all cars but v low theft

I'm desparate to get one!

Hello and welcome mate

RS's are great cars but think carefully as you could if you're not careful end up THOUSANDS in debt with loans and cards keeping your motor on the road and then mid to late twenties hit and other things take priority, houses, wifes etc and you'll be fooked............ take this from someone who knows

Just my thoughts
