Default Young Scooby drivers?

Evening people!

Just wondering how many young Scooby drivers there are on this forum? I know with insurance costs it's a bit of a nightmare to own one of these amazing machines!

I'll start, turned 23 two weeks ago, STI Blobeye.

21?? Impressed! Beat me! Is it tuned or standard? They kill you on insurance If it's the slightest bit modded.

I got my classic wrx at 24 and paid 2500 insurance had to sell it after a couple of years but loved it. Purely by chance I've just managed to buy it back 13 yrs later. Pay 400 now and still love it, feels like an old pair of favourite shoes!

Can't believe the insurance costs on here - I literally spat my cornflakes out my mouth lol

Am 35, have 17 yrs NCD, no points and a Blobeye WRX PPP. I pay £600 a year - obtained via confused with LV last year.

I thought insurance was supposed to get cheaper as your got older? Feel like I've had my pants pulled down - and not in a good way!!

That's good going for a 21 year old, see it rocket up though once you start declaring mods, ah well you only live once
