Have you got your mum as a named driver? Usually lowers the premium a fair bit.

your all so bloody nosey!!

sold my clio to pay for the insurance and then got a loan to cover the car am paying it for the next 3 years all ok at the moment but not to sure how to pay it next year !! might have to sell it or hope 4 a pay rise!
get to that bridge when i come 2 it!

p.s whats bra size has your missus got ?

p.p.s am only 18 not19!!

Not being nosey mate, just answering your questions and asking a few of my own along the way. :) Couldn't care less if you pay £50 or £50000 for your insurance, as long as you can find another £3400 to cover your insurance next year then crack on, otherwise you'll be back to your 1.2 8v Clio!! Just trying to help you out. ;)

About my missus' bra size, depends which missus you want to know about! :rolleyes:

Unfortunately not :( Work has dried up pending budget decisions in another country :unsure: All very worrying, but out of my hands - just gotta be positive and indulge myself in the VX forum! :)

Car prior to VX - Ford Racing Puma.

Had a 5 Gordini once, then a Gordini Turbo :D Big fcuk off T3 turbo, acres of lag but when it got going it flew, especially top end. :D Also, took a 5GT out alone for a test drive from a garage, hit 120 leptons and the turbo blew, huge clouds of black smoke out the back. :o Just managed to limp back and the car conked as I parked it. :o

I'll think about it" I said to the salesman as I returned the key. :P and pi$$ed of quick. :P
