My mate pays 2k on a 1.2 corsa,he's 18!

[brake-dust]

insurance on my 1.2 mk2 at 18 with less than a months experiance was 1300 fully comp, gotta love the cheap nova insurance, a gsi was only 1600 fully comp

[boyle_46]

thats a very good price for a 1.6 gsi tbh mate especially at your age .

[lee-loon]

I paid 1700 on a 1.3sr when I first passed at 18 then after doing my pass plus 3 months later it was 700

And?

[NovaLad]

My 1st year on 1.2 was 2k.
Second year was 1100 ish.
3rd year due and will be about 600 - 700.
Bite the bullet or get a different car TBH.

[brake-dust]

what was that company?

im with direct line for the 1.2, cant remember what company the gsi was with, only reason i didnt get a gsi was because i couldnt find one close enough at the time and the 1.2 came up on my door step

I'm not suprized. Go and get an SR or a 1.4 luxe etc. Much more affordable.

[twistysnovagte]

Bite the bullet or get a different car TBH.I agree with tom(its that simple)you can shop around a few different insurance company's, but you will still be paying around the £2k mark!thats until you turn 29 and it costs £380 fully comp:d :p
its nice to have a car like you have but in reality if just aint gonna work unless money isnt a issue!
so i say sell it on(pics to twistom@hotmail.com:d )
and buy a decent little runaround for the next couple of year's:thumb:

Novalad earns himself green lol

If insurance is an issue, simply buy a more insurance-friendly car. I really don't get why kids these days buy cars that are expensive to insure then wimble about it - pretty much everyone I know bought a cheap shed as their first car (except those who had a free loan from the bank of mummy and daddy lol)

If you wait and earn the car you desire it will mean more to you. Heck, I first wanted a GT4 when I was 20 but did I go buy one? No lol

[Jon_nova1]

get a different car/model, i want a skyline v-spec or astra vxr, but not willing to pay the insurance lol

this really does my head in tho,

today i noticed a brand new focus, the driver was 17, racing around like a nobber

[brainsnova]

citreon 2cv FTW

[Rysee]

i wrote my 1st car off, who cares it was a 1.2 clio, money down the drain to me, if i wrote off my 1st car and it was something special i would be gutted spend a year in a 1.2 then move up

[MattBrown]

And at 17, you couldnt drive a soapy stick into a hamsters bottom!

Let alon 110bhp nova gsi, and tbh, if you turn around and say you can, you clearly drive like a tart!

All the nw lads will tell you, everytime I turn upto a meet, ive been in hedges, village greens, smashed bumpers off etc! However Ive never crashed! Just slid onto a green, and jumped down some lane!

I have a 45bhp 1 litre, and am building a 2l 16v nova gte, but this will take at least 2 years to complete!

Theres no point getting anything fast, because no one really cares if you die, its if you kill someone else, or kill the nova!

[General Baxter]

how about a redtop on L plates FTW,

[Rysee]

Had a cav gsi before i passed my test never drove it though but if i had off i thinl quiet possibly i would have scared myself

[djshaggeh]

Redtop, why bother? May aswell LET it and stick it on L plates. Although you'll probobly be bored with the power by the time you pass.

[General Baxter]

Redtop, why bother?

i was 18 and learning to drive, cost of the car, cost of the insurance lol

[Jack]

And at 17, you couldnt drive a soapy stick into a hamsters bottom!
LMFAO that is now my phrase of the day. I shall attempt to wrangle "soapy stick into a hamster's bottom" into at least one conversation lol

In response to the thread starter.
Patince is (a virtue &)something youngsters are without.

Clearly you need to wait until you are old enough. (or rob a bank)

Im 17, and happy with 45bhp?

I drive hard, like stupid hard at times, however, "Power is nothing without control"

All in all, buy a 1.2, stick a 1600 cam and carrier in it, advance the timing, wire in some resistors onto the fuel rail, and you will see about 60bhp!

Thats more than enough!

[craig green]

Whatever.

Fact of the matter is, he can't afford the insurance.
Just like when I could only drive a 1.2L for my 1st 2 years. Just aswell really. I didnt crash it but learnt many a hard lesson in it. GSi was my 2nd car at 20 years old. I still have it now 10 years on.

[djshaggeh]

I thought you were taking the piss, I should have known better!

I thought I was really cool having a mk2 1.4SR for my first car, I should of known better because I crashed it a month later. Then my insurence prices were sky high and i had to scrap my SR which was in decent nick.
