Mk 1 ,1 ltr corsa is about the cheapest to insure atm , i sold stacks last year to new drivers , as modern as u can expect to insure atm

---

Selling anything similar then Matt?

Talbot solara

Then had a few shitty fords and gave it up for 10 years or so till I got one of these



What a fucking cash cow that was - I loved it though. However the expense finally got me. I'm a right dull cunt now in a Volvo.

My first car was a little red and yellow number. It didn't have any windows and the engine was pathetic. Can't remember what it was called but I do remember it was plasticky as fuck.

EDIT: found a pic of the bad boy:

I agree. F*ckin' loved them. I used to covet a (highly modfied) silver Escort Harrier MK11 that used to be owned by a bloke in Bearwood.

I had a Renault 5 before getting an ex-demo Escort RS Turbo when I was 20 ( After 21 years I can still remember the reg - F107 HEA.). Loved it at the time. Which subsequently got nicked and stripped. I found out who arranged for it to be nicked, how they took it and were it was stripped down. Went on to various BMW's and Audi's. Cars now hold no interest to me whatsoever.

Was it a GT Turbo Stu?

If so, chavtastic, but in a good way.

Ill just show off my current ride again -

Hahaha. No it was a burgundy one I forget the model. Not flash. The insurance was a killer those days. The RS cost over a £1k for insurance in 1990

Haha. I had a R5 Monaco for a while in Cream. 1.7 auto with full Cream leather interior, 'twas lovely.

Someone offered me a price I could not refuse though.

This is making me sound old having all these retro rides...

Mk 2 Escort , on a YTS at the time as a mechanic so it ended up with the 1.3 lump swapped for a 1.6gt and forest arch's with all the usual boy racer stuff
Buckets, alloy's and big bore... Then some fucker robbed it....

Haha, I bet you looked ace in the KA mate.

Think you should splash out on one of these to really impress the ladies -

---

fook all wrong with a ford KA.....passed my test last year...not got my own as i dont really need one, and running one car is expensive enough, so i potter about in her KA, not very cool ....but, ideal car for finding your feet in, and building up your no claims

Brand new Clio when I was 17. Finished paying it off in October, I can't bloody wait.

You all need to moan at yer folks......... nobody else have 1 of these as there 1st car ! ? ! ?

yours was cheap it had plastic wheels !!!

I'll hopefully be passing my test within the next few months. Going to go with Co-op insurance as it's a bargain. For a standard late 90's Corsa it's around £1200 as the main driver for me. You do have to have a box fitted which monitors your driving and potentially gives you discounts accordingly. Obviously it works the other way if you drive poorly.

Personally I think that's worth it for now considering some are paying 1800 just to be a named driver on a shit car.

My missus brother is paying £3000 on a 12 year old Suzuki. Mentalist.

When I passed I was a named driver for 3 years paying £600, as soon as I was 21 went on my own name for the same price.

my first car in 1981 was a 72 mk3 cortina 1100cc only kept it for few months it was so slow
