Adam K Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Not just that, he could bin it himself on the way home tonight and its all over.when i was 21 i was riding a brand new R1 worth around 7k. i could only insure it tpft for obvious reasons.if i had binned it myself (which i did), then i could accept the cost, but somebody else binning it for me when it wasn't my fault would have really ground my gears.

VinnyGTI Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Its staying TPFT until it gets a bit cheaper. TBH i know me saying that i'll never trash it, means it could never happen, but if someone smashes into me insured or not they'll be paying for it. if i trash it by my own mistake then i can only blame my self thats why i take it easy (sometimes).and your right it is worth about 5g. ha haVinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub18 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Adam k, i know you say he'll learn his lesson with third party etc etc.But at the the end of the day its the only way alot of people can afford to drivethe car they want, and im pretty sure he knows if he bins it hes ****ed but either has it like that or not at all so.At 17 i had a 1.4 16v corsa sport and that was £1400 with a pass plus.And currently i have a loop gti at 19 with 1 years ncb and 3 points so i had togo on my dads insurance with it which was £900.
