    You are wayyyyyyyy out man, groovy. 1) I have quotes from Admiral, they do it 2) You were not jokin gand one of my son's more affluent friends families has a brand new bmw series 1 parked on the driveway , just waiting for the boy to pass. He has failed twice, so far. I trust you suitably impressed , my Reverence of life, lol
    Haha. Admiral wouldn't for me. :( No matter, I'm with them now. I know, some parents are just ridiculous. There was a lad from a similarly affluent family who used to drive a brand new 3 series to school 4 years ago or so. I believe he now owns 10% of Preston Football Club incidentally, but anyway, I meant a proper BMW, like a 7 series or something! :p

    Shuaibf you seem to have come here just for an argument, in case you haven't noticed this BMW thing is just a joke (for us anyway). I shall be reporting you for your incitement to violence and gratuitous insults. And btw you can't spell or punctuate.

    That sounds reasonable to me, my daughters 17 year old bf is paying £3600 for his insurance for a 04 reg ford fiesta having been driving since July.

    Like they say young boys are very expensive to insure
    £3600 to insure a car!!:rotfl:That's £10 a day. I don't know how far this person travels daily but I'd hazard a guess that hiring a taxi 7 days a week, 365 days a year and traveling in style would not only be cheaper but keep the roads clear of 17 year old male drivers for the rest of us.
    PS:- If your daughters' bf is so prolific with his dosh i'd tell her to run a mile from this him!

    There was a mother on here a while ago who's 17 year old son was spending £4k on insurance. Although that was for a Renault 5 GT Turbo (I think).

    newfoundglory, my son's friends call it the ford Ka the "gay'A', sorry, but no cred

    [pedant]That's funny, but technically 'Ka' should be pronounced as it is spelt, not as to separate letters. ;) [/pedant]
