I was 23 when I got my first scoob, had an FTO before that.

Can't remember who I'm insured with. The FTO was difficult to insure, seeing as I had no, no claims discount and 2 claims made within the past 2 years. In fact think I had the scoob with zero no claims as well!!

A friend of mine had an RB5 WR when he was 21 or 22. Follow up witha MY96 WRX.

 

I'm an old git, 30 the other week
Insurance not so much of a problem for us older folk

Blimey I bet your insurance is gonna be more expensive than the car

There was a young lad in Scotland ( not sure he was on here ) but he started out with McRae Special at 17 or 18 then got a 22B for his 21st.

 

Paul - got my wagon turbo in November when I was 22 - 5 yrs no claims but 6 points on my license....fully comprehensive is £1100 quid thru AXA

 

Im 17, dont drive a scoob - my dad does, but thought I'd share my insurance quote with you

£16k from a company (cant remember who now) that quoted my dad £250 (£200 less than he's paying atm)!

 

Ok,

Who is the youngest Scooby drive on this BBS?

I am due to pick up my MY95 WRX Saturday AM and can't wait! I am 21.

Could the younger members of the BBS post up the numbers of the insurance companies that they use. I would be especially keen to see the numbers for ins comps that insure young drivers on import cars such as the WRX.

Cheers

Paul

 

I am 21 and have a RB5 WR.

But don't think I am the youngest, I've heard of a 16yr old P1 owner!

bennetm,

Are you serious?

Did you really think that?


lol, I thought everyone could see the immaturity of my posts.

Incidentally, my last post was referring to when i got the car, I am now 23, will be 24 in december, and have just renewed with privilege at £1183 with protected no claims bonus, and one or two mods

 

I was 18 when I got my first WRX, bit of a step up from my MX-5 I did have a 22B when I was 21 but I managed to flog it to some mug

You are going to love it !

Youngest scooby driver or owner???

Been driving Dad's scoob since I passed my test at 17 - 18 now. Not actually sure about the insurance - company car so guess it's a fleet policy to cover any driver. Might be quite interesting to find out a cost though.....

LOL

I had a WRX when I was 19

Cheaper to insure then, than now..Hence I have no scoob no-more. Mind you, dont get any points as that cripples you when your on 10

Roll on October Back to 3 Evooooooo!

 

Drove my mum's scoob on my 17th birthday (April this year). Company car = free insurance (but the excess rises from £100 to £250). Will have my own '95 Impreza 1.6GL AWD (stop laughing at my 88bhp!) as soon as I pass my test - damn the 2 month waiting list!
Ben

 

Jeez! 22b at 21 years old?

What was it me dad said? "You'll never get rich working for someone else son, you need to run your own company."

Cheers dad. So with two companies I'll be really really minted then?

r (could only afford first scoob at 28)

 

Kelvin,

You coming to the meet?

I like threads like this that make me feel old 24 now, bought the MY00 UK spec new last June when I was 23, ordered when I was 22, but took a while to turn up. My insurance is around £1200, with a four figure excess with full no claims and no points, that'll teach me for living in a high risk area

 

Afraid not...

Off to Australia for 10 months (ish!) so kinda busy tying up loose ends etc down here Not sure if dad's going mind you - will ask him and get him to drop you a mail ok?

Kelvin.

Hopefully will still be posting on the bbs while I'm away... so sure I'll hear all about it
