mummy and daddy come to mind.

 

Does it really matter?

As said before if he can drive sennsibly then he's as safe as anyone else.

Mummy & Daddy may not even come into the equation.. nobody knows his situation so i dont think its fair to judge where his funds are coming from.

 

Oh FFS

Overclockers UK Forums - What to look for when buying a scooby

Post 19 should finish the job off.

 

i don't realy question funding it, as long as he's done his sums and can afford the running cosxt then each t there own, what i wonder is about the experiance and driving ability

 

I appreciate what youre saying mate but any car is a weapon in the wrong hands.. a turbo 2000 isnt really that much different IMO.

Drive carefully and you'll be fine i think

 

very true, but thik tbh 18, male driving a scooby turbo? asking for big smash.

and wtf is that overclockers post about???

no job and wanting to buy and run a scoob with insurance being 3k???? your havin a giraffe

 

Exactly. But you never know.

 

Yep, that'll do it!!

 

A £15k loan and no job FFS

 

Phate hasn't been back. Think you scared him off?

 

This is complete nonsense !!

We (insurance staff) log details of every claim made, including the age of the driver. Therefore we can say without any doubt that young drivers are involved in proportionately more accidents (and more serious ones for that matter). Insurers are commercial organisations in a competitive market - if the rates being charged were beyond the level of risk, some insurer would come along and plug the gap and insure 18 yr olds at the same price as 30 yr olds !!

Rant over.

 

all of us have said the same thing.. too young, the temptation to beat all your mates in their little saxos, corsas will be too much, Imprezas are very powerfull cars and very expensive, at 18 a 1.4 will be enough, but its your life, we all make mistakes!

 

dunno mate i went mad at 19 and bought a brand spanking new astra sri which was a 1.8 sri (top of the range at the time) had no probs running it or driving it and only got rid to buy a scoob. had a loan for it and never missed a payment etc.

heres the differenance i had a good job and still have so could afford it, he wont be able to/unless he gets help should i add
