my moan is on the INCREASE of car insurance,
my first year at 18 should have been 1500, which is bearable for me at the time.
my compaint is that at 18 it is now 2688 for the same car i had at the same age!
my friend in question has no other car to use, and has to take a 2 hour commute by bus...
im pretty sure a huge number of people on the roads dont NEED a car,
and youre right, this rediculous prices are just enocouraging people to lie!
so if daddy isnt rich enough, you're not allowed to drive??
seems fair! great!!
i bet you vote conservative ;)
i just think it seems unfair to...
a 1.2 mk2 ph1 clio is pretty much worthless!!
i a bit unfair that people are allowed to drive at 17, pass their test and basically told to F off by the insurance companies.
i genuinly do not believe any full time student could afford that kind of money for insurance on a part time wage! and...
A friend of mine has just passed his test and on the hunt for a first car!
hes 18 and lives in a good area,
£2688 a year for a 1.2 clio,
and thats after having a look around!!
im all for poor little rich kids paying over the odds for nice cars, but its possibly the most basic car anyone...

ive seen this car quite a few times, down southend seafront more than everywhere else!
annoyed i didnt see anyone last night?! :@ i kept my eyes open,
but it was pretty dead everywhere! grr
the mistake you made was calling it "euro"
its not nearly euro enough for you to call it euro,
just looks to me like small wheels and a bra!
deck it on airbags, or coilovers if youre brave enough, and enjoy driving very slow everywhere,
and get smoothing on it,
perhaps get some OEM+ mods...
so you unplug the remote wire, and does the amp stay on??
lights and that??
if so youve made a wiring faux pas.
or you could just get a new battery!
(providing it charges at 14.4v when the car is running)
it will start saving you money around the 30k miles point,
if my caluclations are correct, which theyre probs not!
which to me is 7.5 years,
not really worth it in my case, but i can how its appealing,
btw, that is assuming the above prices,
and that both cars can achieve 43mpg,
its a...
this would majourly put me off going for this,
based on that map it would be a complete ball ache to do,
id have to plan my trips around filling up my car as its a 45minute round trip through roads that are a nightmare at peak times,
and to a petrol station thats only open till 8
how much...
as said, needs a grill to finnish it off, i dont get why so many people remove them!!
i adore the colour!
and it works even better with those wheel in that colour!!
amazing looking car!
ive never spoken to the kid,
he lives near me, and always parks this thing at the top of my road!!
ive also just thought,
what happens if he needs to change a bulb/shock?
i can imagine thats the kind of engineering that wont come apart easly!
sorry its taken so long guys,
its not been at the top of my road for a while,
but it was a few days back and i got some snaps
note the pickup style floodlights on the top,
not sure why the bonnet isnt shut either,
but at least hes made an attempt are removing that front exhaust cutout...
pop/bang could have been coincidental?!
distribution block might have gone? (or have you checked sparks??)
how do you know the cambelt is intact??
could have lost a tensioner and caused the engine to fall out of line,
but that would make it crank slightly faster
