"Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 16v Subaru Impreza RB5 WR Sport Honda Civic 1.6 vti your insurance bill must have been huge "The Scoob was rather expensive to insure, yes. It was also expensive to run, service and generally own! Bloody good fun though. The jump from a car with roughly 70bhp and a 0-60 of about a week to 250bhp and a 0-60 of 4.5s was entertaining. I'll point out though that I was 28 when I bought the Corsa. I'd lived in London until then and a car just wasn't necessary. I was 30 when I bought the Scoob. That helped a bit with the insurance. | |||

Dream car probably a Morris Minor, but stripped out and modernised. Mostly just to piss people off at the lights when they try to race. | |||

MGB softtop 1965 model, its 1986, 19 year old female driver, been driving for 1 year, is the second driver on her Dad's insurance, he's 42 with a no claims bonus.

funny old game seen as tho the civic is a hell of a lot faster too | |||

"My policy when I had the rs2000,, 147, st24, fiesta zetec, Pajero, xr3 cabby with series 1 look ss standard and the wrx was 580quid on an enthusiasts policy. It went up when I got the type r, then they stopped insuring the cars like the Scoobys. So the type r I had to insure seperate. It was 280 quid. Not bad for a 2dr Scooby. I enquired recently and can have the Clio, spider and a small car for my daughter for around 720quid.. I couldn't have insured my cars seperate and the policy worked on the grounds of I could only drive one at a time x" 580 for all of them !!!
i just want to build some more no claims and have the new type R in 2015.....
