Eeeh 44 is a great age - but wish I had the £1800 outlay you've had Pebbles. Almost 2 years of ownership and outlay nearly £3K. Based on the coop ownership head in the sand formula of real outlay then half it, half again then take away a healthy wedge of £500 then you're smiling laugh cry You buy these cars with your heart and not yer bonce laugh

Old enough to know better (35) but young enough to enjoy myself! cool Bought my latest when I was 33.

Had my first Coupe when I was 28 - didn't keep it long due to insurance "issues"! Hats off to the younger generation here - how on earth do you run these monsters!? shocked

Having said that - I did have a Porsche before I was 30. And I drove a 911 when I was 17. smile

Who are you insured with as a matter of interest and how have you done it? My insurance was a pain to sort out and had to go with admiral in the end.

im insured with the post office. just did a confused search, they came out the cheapest, gave them a call to get a better price and put my mum and gf on my policy, insurance for the fiat and 300zx are on the same policy, i just call them and switch between the cars.

suprisingly the fiat is more expensive to insure than the nissan, despite the nissan having an extra cylinder, turbo and being one litre bigger.

How much does insurance cost you? It's not cheap for me and I've got a few years NCB

Mines around £1400. with mum and the missus on my policy. mum has several years no claims and although i dont have any aand i have a speeding ticket i managed to get a reasonable price.

its around £120 a month for the fiat and around £110 for the nissan.
