    Paint it black and yellow, and start your own cab service.

    Probably much cheaper to be a named driver on your uncle's policy and he keeps the car.

    So you are 17...HAHAHAHA...£1500! HAHAHAHA.
    I thought I was getting ripped off driving a 1.8i and paying £380!!!

    Although that goes up to £1050 in Sept as I have lost all my no claims Some muppet in Feb wrote off my car. He wasn't insured so had to claim on my insurance Should get it all back...but when I don't know...GIT!

    I would not get insured on it.

    Sounds about right, when i had just passed I was getting quotes around £1000 on just about any car, I was looking in the L Reg kinda range but any car I tried it was the same. Mind if you put your self as the second driver and get someone else to put themselfs as the main driver then the cost comes down loads. Granted you won't earn any no claims but after a year or two the cost wil come down loads and then I'd switch to being the main driver.

    For the time being though could I have that car? It would be perfect . I keep meaning to look for a car but I think I'll be waiting another year . Will definitly want one for my Work placement in a year.

    Possibly the same thing.

    Did you have to do a project to do with a company called Eurotec car hire?

    HAHAHAHA...don't "hut hum" me little doggy.

    Alcohol is the MOST nasty and harmful drug you can take. It's evil.
    If it was invented tmrw then it would be illegal in every country in the world...except Norway, they are freaks there.

    People seem to overlook alcohol as a drug, because, and the survey says "It's socially accepted"

    But that's a completely different debate

    Woooooooooooooooof

    True, family forum...so lets talk about alcohol being good and the rest of the drugs at our disposal are evil...
    Also, certain drugs are legal in certain countries, therefore there's even less of a problem talking about it

    I bet you think heroin is a really evil and nasty drug, worse than alcohol, and Oswald actually did kill JFK...Mwwahahahaha

    Hahaha...my point exactly

    It's right, coz you've been told it's right and it's acceptable to do.
    That doesn't mean other recreational drugs are bad...they are just illegal coz we have a ****ed up government.

    Woof
