Just got my first scooby! :D
Hey all im new to the site. Just got a 96 2.0GL I thought Id say hi to all.
Btw for any1 who is interested I got my insurance at 1900 quid for the year @ £157 per month. Still worth it though! haha! Thanks all, Tony (ignis999) |
classic
Shame it was not 25 years old instead of 15! Classic car insurance and no road tax!
i have a 19 year old and 17 year old wanting on the road, insurance costs for the under 25's are just not funny! Enjoy the flat four experience and the four wheel grip, probably the best car to have an accident in, if you want to survive! I once rolled a 5 door sideways two times, got out and walked away. Had it been a Fiat.......:sleep: |
hahaha! Im only 22 with a years driving experience. Im not adivsing it but putting my mum on the insurance and saying the legal owner of the car is my dad (v5 still in my name) saved me £600! Its truly the best car ive ever driven :D
|
ill keep that accident quote in mind, if I die I will haunt you! hahaha
|
Welcome along matey, what's your plans for it and............get some pics up!!
|
crash!
My, then 16 year old woke from a drunken slumber on the second roll and accused me of trying to kill him! Should have gone to the Fiat garage! Lolz:D
Keep safe, its a jungle out there on the tarmac. I drive in Eastern Europe a lot, so the grass verge is usually the best place to be!:thumb: |
Got no plans for it just yet. I need to get some new brake pads and a drivers side CV boot fitted. Its only done 69k and in great nic for the age. The previous owner took it to shows in the summer and thats it! MOT and Tax is sept so thats my current plan haha! May plonk a pipercross on it to free up the air flow :) Ill pop a pic up now
|
Pics are up :) In my garage
|
Filter
For insurance it will probably be best to put a K and N high flow filter element rather than the Pipercross kit. If Plod examines it, the car will look standard and there will be no declaration of modification.:D
|
Welcome to the forum mate :thumb:
|
£1900 for a GL :eek:
That's harsh! Welcome mate :D |

frozen boundaries
You are right, but it shows how long i have been a car owner!
When introduced it was 25 years old cars tax excempt, but the government (i.e. Tony and the fat Scottish gordie the goldfish) decided to freeze it in 1998. I used to run a road tax free TVR, with classic car insurance at 130 quid a year until the late 90's. Pre classic insurance quotes were 1300 per year prior to NCB. |
So what brings you to scooby site?
|
The 1800 may have been!
My first scoob was at the time of the GL, there was an 1800 that was FWD, all the 2000 models were hi / lo 4WD.
|
Anyway back to subject, the gl an't a bad replica, as though, i've seen a few nice models on here that have gone for euro look, really does look nice.
|
Interest?
