So the car isn't the issue really, insurance is and I can't seem to find anything south of £4000 a year which...
My youngest (a mad petrolhead) has been saying how he wants a Subaru WRX STi when he's got a full licence (he's a couple of years away yet).
I've explained that the limiting factor will be insuring one, so as a bit of fun, and to get him to understand/realise this for the future, we hit a...

So I set off for Waitrose in the 210 and as it hasn't rained thought I'd go the quick way via the ford. Water was higher than normal, but not deep enough to cause problems (or so I thought). Go through it, get up the hill into Gerrards Croos and there is a flapping/chugging noise that appears...

Kids No. 1 and Kid No. 2 are 19 and 17. Both have Provisional Driving licenses i.e. have not yet past the driving test.

Hello...

Soon to be new owner here.. I have been a BMW man for many years.. finally having had enough of the lack of deals.. and poor offers.. I finally took the plunge.. and changed brands..

Like most people that own several vehicles I used to insure each one individually.
I had my S210, Omega Elite and Sprinter and was reasonably content with the premiums and cover.
The cost for insuring these vehicles fully comprehensive was:
S210 320CDI £550.00
Omega Elite Estate 3.0ltr 24V...
Evenin all...
I'm having a confusing time, and confused.com are not helping at all. I'm 21 and have the dosh ready for both a C250 TD estate and the insurance (best quote so far is £800 fully comp in my name with the Co-op) but I feel there must be a better deal out there.
A mate of mine insures...
One of the young Ringway's (Les) will be 17, in a couple of months.
Naturally, he's keen to start driving lessons as soon as possible.
I need some advice on a couple of points.
