Had my near on 400bhp RWD saph when I was 18/just turned 19, insurance was the easy bit, getting the power down and staying on the road was hard

(I had never driven a RWD car before I bought it )

Had my saff when I was 19 at 350bhp. when I was 21 it went to 440bhp. 22 now.

I still love it but when/if I get the money I might have to buy an R34 skyline or maybe an audi rs6 next.

Will miss it dearly though. trying to get a mate to buy it so I can still drive it

Bought my 3dr when i was 19
Insurance was £1890

Only reason i got it was that the insurance was only £200 more than what i was paying on my Rsturbo

Bought my Saff in 95 when I was 23, still got it. Had 38k on then, now got 95k and been in bits plenty of times, but staggeringly reliable really.
As for the original question of what do you move onto, for me quality has become more important, thats why I bought a Boxster. Worlds apart from the Cossie in so many ways, not as quick, granted, but a fantastic car.

As if you're younger than me!

If I buy the MR2 in spring I won't own a Cossie til I can afford an Escos. The others are just watered down compared to it

Escos at 24.

Was a boyfriend replacement tactic.

Although looking back the cossie was WAY better than the ex.
