I think a lot of the time flux and 2gether mainly only insure 4x4s as secondary vehicles for over 25s with limited mileage insurance. However I did originally have my SJ insured though 2gether when I was 21

How much was your 1st years insurance scottie. We're both 27, unless you lied about your age to join. Lol
My first car was a volvo 480 1.7i. 110bhp, powerflow exhaust did 130mph. 1st year was 550.
Now im 27, 8 years no claims. And my Zuk is still £280. 09' seat exeo is £450 fully comp.
My insurance went mental inbetween but thats cos' i bought some mental cars.
I still don't get this whole £2500 first year insurance. Have new drivers become such a liability? If i see Ed comin' do i ram him and say he hit me?
C'mon insurance people wake up. Still, atleast now lasses have to pay their fair share too! Sorry girls.

Jeeez I can't remember I think the sj was around 8-900 when I first put it on the road, was actually my first car i had after passing my test and wasn't standard, I was too busy riding my BMX to be bothered about passing my test when I was 17

I learnt to drive and had a 1.3 mk3 escort van when I was 17 though and I think the insurance was about £600-700 on a provisional license.
Insurance is stupid for new drivers, however I think it's also caused this whole stupid 'slamming' craze, they can't afford to drive cars that are fun and reasonably quick so they get a slow car and then to try and make it look 'cool' end up slamming it so much it's unsafe! One of the younger bmxers I know has a polo where the subframe is actually 1" off the floor and he's had to remove the arb because of it and he still wants it lower

that's not so bad but the best bit is one of his fucking brain dead idiot mates has actually removed the springs on his yaris completely! I made my opinion very clear about that

I'd rather them be able to drive fast cars and learn a lesson by crashing than bodge something that ends up lethal at anything above 20mph.

My Dad had loads of bonkers cars when he was young. These days insurers would have a fit over them. Stuff like a Metro Turbo, Renault 5 Turbo etc. lots of turbo hatches.

well im learning to drive a the moment and im looking for insurance quotes... im not even bothering getting my current sj insured as its been modified too much acording the inurance companies , however if i get a bog standard sj my insurance for the year is £6000, and if i tell them i have got a rhinoray/ bull bar bumpers on it it goes up an extra £2000 to £8000. And they wonder why young drivers go around with no insurance
edit plus that was on limited milage

I swear it would be cheaper to insure if you had guns on it.
