Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The wheels definately improved the looks and that is a very healthy performance figure... been in the same boat though toys sold to buy house but it all sorts itself out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Wish I had one at 21 I doubt I could have even got insured :( Mind you I did have fun at 14 driving around in a 6 year old XR3I my mates dad used to let us take it out as long as it came back with fuel in it So I guess any car I got until I was 25 never really was going to feel up to much :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I paid 1200 a year to insure it fully comp ! Had my dad on it too Yeah I got it off a mech mate who preferred wagons he put a v4 Sti lump in it with a vf28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice. My younger brother was paying nearly £2000 for his Skyline at about 21,22 years of age I've never paid more than £700 a year fully comp for any of my cars, would grieve me. Mind you I'm that tight if the car infront uses it's windscreen washers I will get as close as I can to get some free screen wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I was paying £1200 tpft for my bike at that time so was limited when it came to my car think I was in Mk1 vauxhall astra 1.2 or cavalier 1800gli at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I quite like a classic in red as you dont see to many .matt how many scoobs have you owned ?(greedy boi lol) As for me at 21i had a Mk1 astra gte ,wish I still had it as they go for silly money now :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 That is the car I should have gone for instead of the cavalier as the Mk1 Astra was a solid car - had a few faults I never got to the bottom of but solid none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
