I bet it's because OPEC will get upset at the pressure they would put on Qatars oil resources!

Just saw this thread and it reminded me off a young bloke i was speaking to a couple of weeks ago who worked at a subaru garage, he had a Subaru Impreza sport 1.6 or what ever it was and got it quite cheap as it had been in a smash, so he had all the parts replaced, turbo bonnet, wrx alloys, all colour coded, basically made it look like a impreza wrx, and also got a WRX engine and modded it to 360bhp, basically he turned it into a impreza WRX now but on the log book it was a 1.6 sport and has got it insured as a 1.6 sport and only paying £400 a year to insure it, think he told me he was 21. :idea:

Nor would anyone else unfortunate enough to be involved in a collision with the idiot

It shows that people have done it, dont think i could do it, its always in case you did hit someone, then you would be in the sh1t.

Whilst he wouldn't be covered by his insurance, anyone involved in an accident would be covered - we;; that's the theory. I was involved in an accident and the car was only insured for Mr *****, but it was a woman driver. The car didn't stop and eventually the cars insurers paid out - after a bit of persuasion - read threats to go to court! So, his car is insured, but he is not! Bit of a grey area!

uk2004 18 November 2004 03:23 PM

fully insured on an 05 STI (European import - had to be classed with (not as) Jap imports by isurance company as it wasn't officially a "Type UK" even though it is a UK spec car) with 18k miles a year and business use (8k miles a year) for £108 pm

Wurzel 18 November 2004 04:20 PM

I have to confess to not being insured on a UK Scoob or a Jap scoob but I am fully insured on my German Scoob :D:D:D

CyprusScooby 18 November 2004 04:31 PM

I insured my UK Turbo 2000 2 years ago when I was 23 for £900 Fully Comp with Admiral.
Just got a quote for my WRX STi Type-R V5 for when I ship it back next year and I got quoted £830 Fully Comp. with Admiral. (I will be 25 with 5 years no claims.)I currently pay £350 Fully Comp. over here in Cyprus.

no tax invalidates insurance not mot so emissions doesnt effect insurance!

MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! - No tax premium to Gov = no insurance to all involved (think about it...) - No MOT - car can be a deathtrap - fatal crash - Yep, insured cos Gov go thei road tax........

Its a Mad, mad World....
