I'm I the youngest Type R owner
 

Hi guys, had a bit of bother getting her insured but managed in the end. 23 on a 98 STI Type R. In my name, no cheating buy putting me down as a named driver. £1400 through Tesco :D

There has been younger......much, much younger :eek: I had a 275bhp modded scooby when I was 23 and my insurance was less :p

I know a 19 year old ;)



But hey thats another story ;)

wasnt there a 18 year old p1 driver?

;)

so how much are the younger guys paying for their scoobs then and with who??

18 driver in a P1! Wish I had a rich daddy :)

I myself have a Type R, and I also got it when I was 23, I also know of someone who has a P1 that bought it brand new when he was 19!( I think)

Hi mate
How much did you pay for the car and and is is an import?

Johnny

£12,650 from neweraimports.com Can't rate them highly enough!

I paid £900 through tesco's for my MY99 STi V5 Type R last year when i Was 24, i'm 25 now so will see what it is in october when my insurance is up for renewal

I'm 21 and have a 98 sti 4, no mods, but tescos are charging me £2200, even though I have a racing licence and an advanced driving licence!! Help!!

Got mine when I was 18 and insurance was 3.5k OUCH!

£1799 at 26 with 7yrs ncb on my03 sti ppp, your quotes are ones i can only dream of! you all must live in the sticks

iirc there was a very young 22b owner in Aberdeen just trying to remember his name now. Paul watt??? that rings a bell for some reason

Tescos have (since april 1st) refused to insure under 25's on Evo's, so I would imagine it would be the same for Imprezas. I'm getting a new Evo MR340 on June 1st, and my only decent insurance quote was from admiral (£2424.02...22 years old, no ncb, no previous offences etc...) so it looks like insurance companies are trying to reduce the young drivers in fast cars thing!...won't stop me though :)

Are they honering renewals?

I believe they do honour renewals.

my mates brother had a p1 when he was 18. it was 3.4k to insure. had it on his birthday. he inherited alot of money off his parents

Well thats good to hear!!

Christian was 21 when he got his sti4 type R

with well over 300bhp ;)

there was actually a 17 yr old P1 driver - brand new from Listers a few yrs back.....
bought as a 17th birthday prezzie.....
about £3k TPFT :eek:

Dan :D

forgot to add that after driving thru Halfords backwards and Max-powering the car, he sold it about 12months later and daddy got him an M3....

now what's that phrase about BMW drivers? ;)

I insured a new VX220 Turbo through Tesco's the week before they changed their policy. I phoned up a week later to ask if I could change my cover (reduce the annual mileage) and was told that I'd have to cancel the current cover (full refund with their 7 day no quibble policy) and take out new cover.

Fine. The operator then laughed and told me that if I did cancel the current cover that they'd no longer issue me with a quote simply due to my age (22) and them not insuring anybody under 25 on high performance vehicles :o
Given that the next cheapest quote was a good few hundred quid more expensive, the phone went down like a shot... :D

<---17 when i bought myself a brand new 04 STi-8

now im 18 with an over 300whp STi(12.5 @110.3 1/4)


and paying for it myself(was working at a subaru dealership when i bought it)

now im waiting on a US Spec C

I was only just 21 when I got my 98 STi Type R.

I paid £2550 to insure it on a Traders policy ( fully comp upto £26k on any car ) as that was the only way to get insured with 2yrs NCB and 3 points.

i am 20 and have an sti type r ! yay :)

any of you young inexperienced drivers actually had any extra driving tuition over and above your standard driving test?
I'm not talking about hairing round a track either, more actual advanced driving instruction.
You'd be better off in a cheaper, less powerful car, with a course of fast road driving under your belt, much safer, and in the long run would bring down insurance for all of us :)
