P.S. You might won't to re-post this in general questions as it is definately Scooby Related.

Now I'm 21 insurance on it is 1.4K and its had loads of mods!

Someone might already have told you by now, but there was a huge thread on this, last year I think. The guy was collecting it for the same reason you state. No quantitive analysis was ever produced.

I am 42 and I drive an MY00 std UK turbo. I pay £500 quid to insure it.

Good luck.

ITWW, who do you insure with and what model scoob is it??
I am currently 20, but looking to get a grey import when I am 21, and obviously want the cheapest insurance i can get!!

BTW at the moment, ive got a lowly Impreza 1.8GL (with Piperx induction cone, milltek cat-back system, lowered kyobera springs + dampers and Scoobymania 22b spoiler) - Sorry if I am a rice boy.

Well I celebrated the 30th anniversary of passing my test in February, so I guess that makes me 24 (ish).
I won't mention my insurance premium because you didn't ask for it.

BTW on a clear day I can see your local power station from my house. Apparently it means we'll have rain the day after.
