Hi everyone,

How's everyone doing?

Once i've passed my driving test i'd really love a mini, however all 1.6 engines, looked at the insurance and its nearly 2k, madness. Looks like i'll be wanting a 206 or something like that when i finally pass, and once i've saved up hehe!!

Thats the thing when you travel into London everyday, you'd only use the car at the weekend. I think thats why its taken me 5 years to begin to learn to drive, now 23 I need to get my butt in ear and put in for my test, as I've had far too many lessons, hence my debt :mad:

Exactly it. I got a kick up the butt last year when my step mum "challenged me" to do it by the end of last year... i was 24 when i passed!

It is great, but its so expensive to keep a car... :mad:

I was looking at a 1.0 Vauxall Corsa and even that was around £830 - i couldn't believe it. The only good thing is a lot of companies on Quidco are offering around £80 - £100 cashback on car insurance, so that knocks a little off.

I'm hoping to pass by September, so i best get saving me thinks as cars don't come cheap
