I’m with Tesco and pay �1400 with �250 excess that is with 6 years no claims(all on a motorbike) which Tesco let me use for a car policy.
Forgot to add the bikes have had 4 bikes as well, sold a GSXR 600 to fund the exige and had a Aprilia RS250,125 and started off at school on a moped.

id get the 172/182 if i were your or for the extra ��� a type R

cheers adam

the 182 is too much money for what i want, why do you like it better than the 206 ?

the mk2 gets vvt also it has a better engine and stiffer suspension and better setup chassis,and more steering feel making it a harder hot hatch that the 206…206 looks better though

i am only 23 as well!!

So far i have owned:

  1. A datsun Cherry, suprisingly a great little car!!
  2. A Pug 106 1.1i (now my mums car, being used by me while mines sick)
  3. A Civic Type-R
  4. A Mazda MX-5 1.8i
  5. A Pug 306 Meridian Piece of Crap
  6. Another Civic Type-R (facelift version)
  7. My Very Poorly Exige

Moles - Tesco are great aren’t they? I am with them although my excess is �700, i thought it was only �250 until last week when I smashed my car. You should check that out, it’s not a very nice surprise!!

Bloody hell you’re not my long lost twin brother are you?
Just looked over my insurance and its �250 excess due to age goes down to �100 when 25. When I did it online I put voluntary excess as �0 maybe you left yours with whatever came up in the box?. Mine is protected as well but hopefully will never have to think about that aspect of it How much did they charge you for the privelige?.
